Valentine’s Day 2021
Valentine’s Day this year was a bit different because of COVID-19. For the past five years, my boyfriend Rolando and I went to short out-of-town trips or nice restaurants in the city. Due to the changing policies about dining in restaurants, we weren’t able to make a reservation to one of the restaurants on our list. However, we definitely enjoyed spending the day relaxing and going to a local restaurant at night.
I bought a Peloton Bike+ in December 2020 and I’ve been using it religiously not just for cycling classes but also for other strengthening and yoga classes. To start my day off, I did a 20-min arms Arms & Shoulder workout with Matty Maggiacomo (my favorite strength instructor). I followed it with Olivia Amato’s 5-min core workout (believe me, 5mins with Olivia works as much as 15mins of core exercise with somebody else). I also did a 30-min spin ride and a post-stretch with Ally Love and to finish it off, I did a 20-min Yoga Flow with Aditi Shah (love the Britney Spears songs on this one).
You could purchase a Peloton Bike+ here.
Rolando surprised me with some chocolate covered strawberries, flowers, wine, and more chocolates. To be honest, he’s been taking home Valentine’s Day chocolates since January.

We dined at Scotty’s on 21 in Vernon Hills, IL. We had beef carpaccio for our appetizer. For our entrees, I had lobster pasta while Rolando had filet mignon with a king’s crab leg. Our food was great. The ambience in the restaurant was nice. I wish there were more waiters but for a last-minute reservation, it wasn’t a bad experience. We only spent an hour here and went straight home right after.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine’s Day. Always remember to spread the love.
