Many of you may be waiting nervously, wondering if that decorative room has been booked or rehearsing reactions to potential proposals.

Will you be hitting the town with your boo this holiday? Check out these tips on how to get ready.

Ways to Prepare For Date Night with Your Lucky Guy

1. Understand the dress code.

Knowing the vibe for the night is important. Granted, your mate may have made the itinerary a top secret on purpose, but asking something as simple as whether you should wear pumps or flats could save you the hassle. Nothing is like trying to enjoy an outing with your main squeeze while your feet are on fire. Get an idea of if the agenda calls for a fancier ensemble or a relaxed fit. Either way, don’t forget to keep it sexy!

2. Have your makeup handy.

Rummaging through your makeup kit to find your mascara wastes minutes (hours, sometimes) you don’t have. Unfortunately, guys are impatient. Avoid killing the mood by applying tactics to cut down your prep time. We suggest utilizing our Cosmetic Bag to store your go-to items in one, convenient place. Lay them out on your counter or vanity desk (beforehand) so they’ll be ready to use when it’s beat o’clock.

3. Pick the right fragrance.

Love is in the air… let him smell it, sis! They often say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, but we believe it’s through his nose. Choosing the perfect fragrance profile just might get you a box (one with a ring… that is).  Layering your fragrances with Elle Vie products will do the trick every time. Pair your perfume with one of our scented Shea Body Butters or Oils to take your aroma to the next level.  

4. Put together a playlist.

Late-night car rides are even better with nice tunes. Whether you’re pre-gaming at home together or riding to your destination, compiling a couples-themed collection of both of your favorite songs is a love language. Good music is bound to have you feeling like the world truly is yours.

5. Pack your purse with on-the-go necessities.

Ashy (definitely) isn’t classy. While we’re on the topic of smelling good, throw in one of our Shea Sticks to guarantee you don’t get crusty elbows throughout the night. Also, you can’t neglect the lips either. Smooch away with our Shea Lip Balm, hand-crafted with various shine-activating ingredients (such as shea butter, beeswax, sweet almond oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, and cocoa seed butter).
