You and your special someone can enjoy what’s left of this chilly winter with warm cocktails that are perfect for this time of year. Indulging in a hot spiked apple cider or learning how to make a hot toddy will set you up for an intimate night that’s different from just cracking open a couple of beers or sipping on a glass of wine.

Just because Valentine’s Day is over doesn’t mean that you can’t continue the love fest. It’s the perfect time to get as dorky as you want with your beau.
Whether you’ve been dating your man for a few weeks or a few years, planning a spontaneous and unique date is never easy. Not only do you have to think of something that you’ve never done before, but you have to find an activity that you’ll both (hopefully) enjoy. And with holidays like Valentine’s Day come an added pressure to please your partner.
There isn’t much time left before Valentine’s Day, and if you’re anything like the staff here at CupidsPulse.com, we are always looking for unique ideas to celebrate the holiday. Recently, we stumbled upon a very cool way to have a memorable night with your significant other or best girlfriends. It’s called Wine Battles, and we have a feeling it’s going to be a hit once more people hear about it.
Tired of being cooped up all winter? Refresh everything you learned in college acting class by pretending to be someone you’re not. Dress up with your honey and have the time of your life revitalizing your imagination.
Search for nightclubs having costume parties and spend the night dancing in your babe’s arms dressed as the king and queen of the ball. Many city nightclubs have themed nights, such as sci-fi, masquerade, 80’s attire, ‘Alice in Wonderland’ or even ‘Twilight.’ Club Oberon in Boston has a weekly “Donkey Show”: while their dance party rages on, a subtle re-enactment of Shakespeare’s classic romantic comedy ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ is performed around the club. Additionally, Marquee in Manhattan throws a European party every Friday, celebrating the party cultures of different European nations. …Don’t miss the rest! Click here for more.
Stay away from a boring date night this weekend and go on a spontaneous road trip with your partner by hopping in the car and driving with no plans in place.
Start off in your town, exploring neighborhoods you’ve never seen and finding restaurants, cafes or other niche spots for future dates together. Then, take it one step further: skip the highway and take a back road to somewhere random on the map, maybe a nearby town or a tourist attraction that you’ve been meaning to see. Don’t forget to bring a camera so the two of you will always remember the places that you visited.

Escape the cold winter months and bring the beach to you. Have your own island getaway by planning a romantic and private stay-cation.
The first step for this amazing date weekend is to crank up the heat in your house. Forget about how chilly it is outside by keeping your thermostat set to summer temperatures. You and your sweetheart can pretend you’re on the beach while lounging around in each other’s arms, blasting Bob Marley and dreaming of the sunshine. To really relax, dim the lights and lead each other in a soothing yoga and meditation session.
It was definitely a “rockin’” night for Taylor Swift and Harry Styles on New Year’s Eve. The swooning duo celebrated the evening in Time Square with an official kiss that was captured by a witness’ fuzzy photo, which has now gone viral. Swift, 23, was in New York City to perform “I Knew You Were Trouble” and “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” that Monday night on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest. With millions of people watching that night, Swift and Styles’ New Year’s kiss was a romantic moment seen round the world.

Do you and your sweetheart enjoy looking at art, or even making your own pieces? If so, take date night to the next level this winter by visiting an ice sculpting festival. These events typically happen near ski resorts or state parks. Look online to find out if there is one near you. If you and your significant other want to travel and have the budget, make a weekend out of it. It’s a breathtaking experience that you will want to see at least once in your lifetime.
I hate to be Debbie Downer, but at the rate brick and mortar book stores are closing, I don’t know how much longer this awesome date venue will be available. Doesn’t it feel like just yesterday that there was all the uproar about how the mega-book stores were killing off the mom and pop book shops? Remember the movie You’ve Got Mail and how disgusted you were when Joe Fox’s (Tom Hanks) Fox Books forced Kathleen Kelly’s (Meg Ryan) Little Shop Around the Corner out of business? And now Amazon and e-commerce is killing off the mega-book stores. My point is … make sure to head over to your local book store ASAP while you still can to enjoy this awesome date. Check out the video below to see how Olga and I had a blast exploring the travel, architecture, joke and sexuality sections of the bookstore:
This holiday season get your shopping done early. Turn this chore into a date and take your sweetheart with you. Doing this tedious task will be exponentially more romantic if you accomplish it together.

A little rain doesn’t stop these two from romancing the night away in Rome. On Sunday, Hollywood couple Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis was spotted dining at Rome’s Antica Pesa Restaurant. The lovebirds ordered an array of mouth watering delights, such as Parma ham crudo and mozzarella, eggplant parmigiana and a salad with marinated anchovies. The pièce de résistance – a thousand layer pastry with cream and fresh berries. Kutcher and Kunis were also seen walking hand-in-hand in the center of Rome. Sharing their love for each other around the world, it’s exciting to wonder where their next stop will be.

November is a great time to nail down all of your holiday plans, especially if you’re in a newer relationship, like Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling. Will you spend these special days together?

Even for the strictest of mathematical minds, creating art is one of the most rewarding experiences. Making photo memories with your soul mate distinguishes you as a couple and supplies physical proof that you are meant to be together.
Pick a location for the shots, be it the nearest park, museum or beach. If there’s a place of value to the both of you — the place where you met, a place you love to visit together — head there first. Start snapping away pictures, capturing images and new memories one click at a time. Continue reading →
Hurricane Sandy’s destruction of homes and power grids along the East Coast has prompted NBCUniversal to schedule a one-hour telethon special presented live from NBC’s 30 Rock studios in New York on Friday at 8 p.m., according to Hollywood Reporter. The emotional response includes musical performers Bruce Springsteen, Christina Aguilera, Billy Joel, Sting, and Jon Bon Jovi. They will take the stage with actors and media personalities like Brian Williams, Jimmy Fallon, Kevin Bacon, Tiny Fey, and John Stewart to promote hope for the victims. Many networks like HBO, NBCU, SyFy, Style, and others will feature the special to raise donations for The American Red Cross’ Sandy relief.
