Damn you Saint Valentine

- This article will outline exactly what to get your type of girl

Published by Ashley Kowalewski.
Hallmark holiday or not, V-day, is on the way. Once more, making men dish out their hard earned dollars and nothing can be done to protest it. The origins of this holiday, while uncertain and debated by experts, continues to make its impact on global economies and is as relevant today as it was in grade 3.
With ever increasing pressure on gents to impress the ladies, the overrated day for sour singles, can be a deal maker or breaker for those paired up. Here at BulletPointed, we break it down (by target demographic) for all you in-the-loaf lads.
You know your girl is the romantic type if she regularly includes hearts or lyric quotes in her social networking updates. She possibly doodles your last name, next to her first, on various post-its on her desk. For this girl, all of the traditional stops are required; getaways, flowers, chocolates, poetry, perfume, paintings and promises you don’t intend to keep. Win her over with matching journals…as in love notebooks, complete with the first heartfelt entry. This sure bet is easy on the budget cause the love coupons won’t cut it anymore. Be forewarned, romantic types will be comparing your efforts. Make sure you measure up.
The Girl Next Door (GND) might be yours if you met her at a football bash. GNDs are also recognizable because they might beat you at an arm wrestle, but in a sexy way, and she likely knows her way around beer and nachos. Dream girl alert with a sports fanatic- yes we know! This V-day is one for the team; hers, not yours, regardless of your alliances. While these ladies will overly appreciate a sports package date for two, skip the local teams for sweet seats to see her favourite team in the closet city. Don’t louse and try to play? this one off by staying home on the couch to catch the game; sorry guys can’t have it all with this one.
Practical Patty types are easy to spot. They are also easy to please, if you’re resourceful, thoughtful and know how to plan. You’ll know her when you see her, because she worries about what to order when dining out, just so you don’t fret over a tab. She gushes about hitting the sales racks, as if you actually care how much of a discount she got, – it looks hot on, even better off, right? Since spending dollars won’t impress this Miss, make her a card, a home cooked 4 course meal, turn off the TV, and turn on your Casanova.
For the over worked under paid lady in your life there is nothing like spa/salons/and massages for two, or spring for a retreat to go that extra mile. Then light the fire on the home front and get together some great albums, light the candles, order in her favorite food, and even run her a bath to relax in while you set up a special just for her, V-day scavenger hunt. Remember plenty of lotions and oils at hand for a little at home massage therapy, and keep in mind that anything else you can do to make her special night in, one to remember, might be rewarded all year long.
For the guys who have a diva dearest, you know and love her because she is all that, and knows it. This well put together and high maintenance woman takes care of herself and the upside, is that she makes you take care of yourself too. Spoil her because that’s what she expects. Make her feel absolutely divine inside and out with some unique and socially-friendly fashion and apparel. Anything from Canadian designer Lisa Drader-Murphy will work wonders. She has major talents in dressing to impress. Her brand Turbine is dazzling Hollywood stars, and will have you looking like cupid himself, and your girl turning heads for all the right reasons. All materials used in the Turbine line are completely authentic and each item is handmade in rural Nova Scotia. The company also just happens to make major contributions to numerous local charities, through their events. Nothing says love like; ‘I want you turning heads on my arm’ with a side of; and ‘I am making a positive contribution in your name’.
Actually since we think Turbine is bomb for any of these ladies comment on this article for a chance to win a one of kind heart clutch.

This artcile made me laugh out loud at the library, sooo true, and super cute. You have got all these types of ladies figured out. I have also been convinced to check out this clothing line that sounds so fabulous! Great article Ash!
Gunna win that bag!
hahaha Keep it up Dorward!
Great work once again Ash! I actually might take you up on reposting this to a certain someone just to drop some subtle hints
This is a Sassy article
Now I know where to go and what to do… to survive V-Day without complications! Thanks for this wonderful article.
Me and my hubby are the overworked type, ie serial entrepreneurs, in fact the scavenger hunt spa day, was how he proposed…we’re not overly valentinesy, but as i am super pregnant, friday will be a day at the spa! and he’ll have a one kind gift for the big v-day
Agree…Turbine is bomb for any lady!!!
Lol, I’m totally into the sporting event!
“promises you don’t intend to keep”. bahaha.
I like the idea of giving a gift of spa for two… Getting myself a gift at the same time as getting someone else a gift is perfect.
I’d rather not give or receive a gift personally.
again with the “promises you don’t intend to keep”. Not that I am a romantic but I don’t necessarily agree with the description of the romantic girl!! You can be romantic and not write your name with his last name everywhere! But otherwise, hilarious and so such a cute article. Dinner and a night in, please!
I agree with the diva comment…I would love for my man to show up with an upside down dress from Turbine! Or a gift-cert from Turbine so I can go pick out their new Mineral make-up! Then I would be saying lucky me…Happy Valentine’s day
LOVE the heart clutch!!!
Loved the article almost as much as I love Lisa Drader-Murphy and Turbine!
Although I think the sentiment of Valentine’s Day is sweet, I really believe romance should start in the morning and end in the evening every day! My special Valentine has my coffee ready each morning before my alarm goes off and has for 2+ years. It is this kind of thoughtfulness that I cherish every day of the year. That being said … if he wanted to rush down to Turbine and buy me an Obi Belt for Valentine’s Day I certainly wouldn’t complain
Does this make me the practical type …. hmmmmm
Well, I am definitely a Diva that owns several Turbine pieces. I love Lisa’s relaxed hip style, and the beautiful fabrics she finds to work with. I’m a huge fan! I want that Clutch!
Good Luck to all!!
+1 cool article
I hope you are using a random number generator to pick zee winner
Love Turbine so much, they help rid me of my blues while making me feel oh so beautiful all year round. Lisa is an amazing role model.
Haha! What a cute article!
Love the clutch, Lisa!
Love the article.Reading this I’m a romantic diva.Fortunately my husband realizes this and treats me like a queen.I’m one of the lucky ones who gets treated like it’s Valentine’s all year round…
I like the clutch! very cute! I hope I win!
That was a very well written article and funny, too. I enjoyed it, and I LOVE the clutch.
Ashley! This article is super fun and it definitely gave me a few laughs about the traditions of V-Day and it also is making me excited for the special day! Maybe I’ll take the opportunity while I’m in France and go to Paris for the holiday! <3 xox
Great article, Ashley!! Would love, love, love one of Lisa’s fabulous clutch purses!
Im a lady of romance, practical Patty, and the GND (GIRL next door) who loves the Turbine designs from Nova Scotia, and when V Day arrives, the ambiance continues day to day, loving work, family, travel, and being pampered…Nothing shows the pampered side to this gal like carrying a Turbine design ALL the TIME.!!!!!!!!Love it
very cute article Ashley! Happy Valentines Day everyone
ps. love the clutch!
Dreams
Great article!

A girl with confidence can appreciate all aspects of this article. A lot of times this Valentine things is a hit or miss with our men, at least after reading Miss Kowalewski’s artcle he won’t have any excuses that he didn’t know what to buy me. I will take anything from Canadian designer Lisa Drader-Murphy, she truly is talented in every sense of the word.
Thanks for the great read,
Mrs. MacLean

Valentines Day horror stories from my first marriage, I am
thrilled to say that this time around we dig what really counts

It’s the every day small things that say “I love you!”
