Whether you’re guilty of too much shopping, too much eating, or too much self-indulgence, today you need to try to rein it in. It’s time to cut out excessive activity and get back to a simpler way of living (at least for now). Try juice instead of wine, a thrift store find instead of something new, a relaxing walk instead of an hour-long massage. All these little substitutions will make you appreciate the pampering all the more.

Worried your romantic life will get strangled by your tight budget? Don’t fret if money woes keep you at home more than you’d like. You can still go out. Just don’t go shopping!

Whether you’re doing breakfast in bed, a brisk morning walk, simply lazing around, or checking things off the to-do list, the two of you are really clicking now. It’s times like these that enrich and deepen a relationship.

You’re preparing for only the best. That’s a good attitude to have, but don’t let a financial proposition sweep you off your feet. The romance of it all could cloud your better judgment.
