Has your sweetie been hinting towards the need for relaxation? Why not a staycation at the iconic Lincolnshire Marriott Resort. There are several Valentine’s Day packages to choose from.

If you’re not looking to do a staycation make sure to ask about their “Dinner Only” or “Spa Only” Valentine’s Day packages. The Lincolnshire Marriott resort is located 30 miles northwest of downtown Chicago, situated on Chicago’s North Shore.

Searching for Cloves and Lilies: The Wine Edition

Poetry is the language of LOVE! In “Searching for Cloves and Lilies: The Wine Edition” the author, Regine Rousseau, pairs a poem with a cherished wine and explains why these concoctions can be fun and flirty or poignant and lingering. This unique collection lays out which wine to pair with heartache and which best represents the state of modern relationships. This book can be found on Amazon.
