Preparing your Mountlake Terrace, WA apartment for a romantic date night may have you frazzled. You are not only anxious for the meeting but also want to create the right atmosphere and leave your best impression. With a few small tips and tricks, you can help prepare your home for a date night neither of you will soon forget.
Start by Rearranging Your Place
Date nights are about romance and whimsy so you should give a quick scan of your space and check for anything that might be considered distracting. Items like medication, financial statements and bills, dirty laundry, and left-out food or dishes can ruin the mood. Remember if it catches your eye when you scan the room, make sure it is in a good way.
Create the Perfect Lighting Scheme
If your overhead lighting is bright, bring in some lamps so you can create some mood lighting. Remember you want enough light to be able to see each other during conversation, but the lighting should be softer and dimmer. If you are a fan of 100W bulbs, pull them out and use 60W or 40W.
Freshen Up the Air
While your date may love the fact that you hit the gym every day, they don't want to be reminded of the smell. Find some lightly scented candles, or if you really want to score some extra points, bake some fresh cookies right before they arrive. Nothing smells better than baking. Just make sure they don't burn.
Be Prepped for Dinner and Drinks
You don't want to spend your evening fumbling around in the kitchen. If you plan on serving some red wine, already have it open and breathing. Have some glasses chilling in the freezer for white wine and beer, and have all of the pieces you need for your meal sorted out on the counter.
Put on Some Background Music
Sometimes date nights may include some awkward silences, but having music in the background can make these moments less awkward. Pick something soothing and relaxing, or something by your date's favorite artist.

The holidays are great for a variety of reasons, but one of the best reasons is all of the time that you get to spend with your friends and family. There are so many things that you can do with friends and family to make some quality memories that you can cherish for years to come. One great idea is to have a holiday game night where everyone gets together for some laughter and fun without all of the holiday stress. These are some fun holiday games that you can play this year.
Holiday Charades
If you like to play charades, you can make it holiday themed by just creating some holiday topics. The rules are all the same, so if you have enough people to play a team-type game, this is the one for you. This is one where people can get up and get moving. It also will not be long before the laughter starts.
Christmas Movie Trivia
There are so many Christmas movies out that everyone has seen and there are new ones coming out every year. If you want to get competitive with some trivia, you can find some trivia questions online for all of the classics and see who knows their Christmas movies the best. You can even end the night watching a new Christmas movie or a favorite classic.
Holiday Name That Tune
If you are a fan of holiday and Christmas music, you may want to organize a game of Name That Tune with all holiday music! It is sure to get you into the holiday spirit and you may even break out into singing the songs with your family and friends. Once the game is done, you can even do some other fun things with the music playing in the background.
All it takes to play these games is a bit of creativity and some people to play the games with.
