After years and years of dinners and movies, I’m ready to discover a new, unique type of date night. For this Valentine’s Day, my husband and I decided that we’re going beyond the norm. Instead of an expensive dinner by candlelight, we’re opting for a picnic with nature and a sunset. We put our date to the test this weekend and, after getting fancied up with my new Jord watch, we wandered up into the mountains and stumbled upon the ideal spot for our date.
Here’s a Unique Valentine’s Day Date with Jord Watches:
Fancying Up
For me to have an amazing date night, I have to feel good about myself to enjoy myself. Finding that perfect outfit to keep my confidence boosting all night is so important. To see the details on the outfit I picked for our date night, check out my Valentine’s Day Outfit Inspiration for Date Night post.
In my opinion, the key to finding that perfect outfit is basing it off of the accessories you’re wearing. I don’t think I could find a better Valentine’s Day accessory than this unique Purpleheart and Plum Jord watch.
Before we get into the deets of the date, I have to brag about this stunning Jord timepiece from the Frankie series. Since getting this watch, I have yet to wear an outfit without it on my wrist. For a night filled with love like Valentine’s Day, the uniquely-colored face embellished with gold elements and the flawless Purpleheart all-natural wooden band is the ultimate accessory. This watch is hand-crafted and impeccably stunning, ultra-light weight and luxuriously complements many different outfit options.
Snag your own Frankie series Purpleheart and Plum Jord watch here, or take a gander at some of the other watches for you and your significant other at the Women’s shop and Men’s shop.

Wandering into the Mountains
Now that I’ve put together an outfit with my pristine Jord watch accessory, it’s time to adventure! With a blanket and my picnic basket full of fruits, cheese, and wine in tow, we head up into the hills on a trail in search for the perfect spot with some breathtaking scenery.
The show-stopping Purpleheart wooden band of the Jord watch matches perfectly with the outdoorsy theme of our unique date night.
Picnic Time!
On the edge of the hill with the surrounding mountains in view, we discover the perfect spot for our date night. Unpacking all of my picnic basket goodies is essential before diving in.
While our date is predominantly focused on having dinner by the sunset, the iconic Bay area fog unfortunately gets in the way. I’m truly not disappointed though, as the haze brings a mystical landscape behind us for my Jord watch to shine like it deserves!
Now that all of the hard work of the date is over, it’s time for the best part: indulge and enjoy.
I pour myself an unnecessarily large amount of wine…
…and fill up on one too many grapes.
But my favorite part of our date is us.
Whether you’re stuck on the couch with the kiddos or having a pancake breakfast in the corner diner, the finest part of your Valentine’s Day is the date that you’re with.
My husband and I laughed until we cried, played with our food like children, sipped warm wine intended to be chilled, basked in our view side by side and ultimately, relished in each other’s company.
Because that’s what Valentine’s Day is all about.

Hello ,
I saw your tweet about animals and thought I will check your website. I like it!
I love pets. I have two beautiful thai cats called Tammy(female) and Yommo(male). Yommo is 1 year older than Tommy. He acts like a bigger brother for her. 🙂
I have even created an Instagram account for them ( https://www.instagram.com/tayo_home/ ) and probably soon they will have more followers than me (kinda funny).
I have subscribed to your newsletter. 🙂
Keep up the good work on your blog.
Regards

Appreciate you checking me out! I’m an animal lover as well. Your cats sounds beautiful, I’ll have to check out that instagram account. When I share posts of my dog, I get the most engagement because she’s a lot more interesting/cute than me! Thanks for your comment 🙂

As always you amaze, what a great idea for a date. Something new and memorable, your pictures at the end made me laugh.
Watch is lovely, even though I don’t wear or prefer them it’s very classy but not too over the top.
