Want to bring the romance on Valentine’s Day but don’t have $1 to your name? Look no further, I have all the tools you need!  First and foremost, originality is key to Mo’ Honey. You need something that sets you apart and let’s your Honey know that you pay attention… sometimes. Here are 3 Romantic steps that are sure to keep your Honey satisfied and your wallet fat and happy too (and then some).

Step 1: Write a love letter or a poem. It can be something cheesy such as “life without you is like a broken pencil, pointless.” Everybody needs a little cheese in their life!  Or if you prefer going the romantic route: “I am writing you this letter rather than waste time and money on a card that only brushes the surface of the way I feel.” (If that’s not your swag, skip to step 2)

Step 2: Try to create something simple that your Honey loves. Women and Men can be complex, but are easily wooed by the little things in life. For example; a friend of mine loves Lucky Charms but she only eats the little marshmallow’s (I mean who doesn’t, right?). So her boyfriend (now husband) bought 3 big boxes of Lucky Charms, picked out all the marshmallow’s, put them all in one box, recovered the box with paper and wrote “You are my only lucky charm!” This is a great example of how my friend’s man is a winner of No Money Mo’ Honey. Hints the reason why they are married and have two kids (winner)!

Step 3: Recreate a special night (first date, first kiss - you get the picture) and of course do it on a dime. For instance, if you took her out to an Italian dinner for your first date create an Italian setting in your apartment. Push back the furniture, put a blanket on the floor or cloth on the table (if you have one), play Italian music, and of course, cook an Italian dinner and don’t forget the dessert! Chocolate dipped fruit is always a deliciously easy way to say “kiss me you fool!”  Make sure you set the mood with dim lights and candles (Caution: never leave a candle burning unattended in your apartment. This causes fires and will ruin your plans and everything else with it). If you can’t cook… get take out! Grub Taxi will bring you almost any restaurant straight to your door with a $12.00 minimum.

If this sounds stressful and more work than taking her out for a nice dinner at Victoria and Albert’s, You’re Right! But remember, if you have No Money you better be original or else …No Honey!
