I love Valentine's Day. Maybe it's because it's my birthday month, I love pink, and I love... love.

So, here's my first Valentine's Day post of the season. Check out these amazing treats I found on Etsy. I want to eat them all!!

Have you heard of Birchbox yet?

It's this new subscription service where for $10 a month, they send you a cute pink box filled with cool new beauty samples. I joined about four months ago, and I'm loving it. It's like a little present every month in the mail just for me!

I know, French macarons. We've all heard the horror stories of how hard they are to make. But they are also absolutely gorgeous, look great on a dessert table, and where I come from, cost about $3.50 per macaron. So maybe I need to rethink my fear of trying. :)

To help me, I asked macaron expert and professional baker, Chris Roberson of Frostine Bakery. She makes hundreds of macarons, so if anyone knows how to do it, she does. She's shared not only her recipe but her trade secrets. Thank you, Chris, our lips are sealed (except for the fact that I'm posting it)!

My whole philosophy about throwing a great party is that you only need a few unexpected details to make it special. Well, for this party, which is today, I'm living my own advice.

So what are my unexpected details?
