GETTING READY FOR A DATE NIGHT AT HOME | Heart Evangelista

babe so you remember i asked if you want to go out and you said it's too scary and we're in stupidity mode right now so i decided to do something here at home like a little date i'm going to do a little setup you know i can't cook don't need to justify but i'm going to have something really nice for you so can you be home by 6 p.m second at 6 30 better 6 p.m conor okay love you bye so everything is at home these days and i'm gonna make sure that i create something really nice a nice extravaganza at home now if you can't cook make it pretty yes exactly what we're going to do today so stay tuned and join me so if it was a normal date how do i get ready yes exactly the same i do not change just because i'm staying at home it's also a good way to feel like it's still kind of normal and again it's not just doing it for people that you love it's also doing it for yourself for your self-worth to make you feel good no matter if you have so much to do and for people asking me if i don't have so much to do i have a lot to do but i never crap under pressure you gotta do it with grace but it takes time to master that i've already did my makeup earlier this day because i knew you guys were going to be with me this morning or this day but i'm going to just retouch before i set up why my husband's not there yet because it's for me i want to feel good while i'm doing my thing okay that's actually it i'm just going to do a little shimmer a little bit on the nose for more dimensional let's begin [Music] okay so this is the fun part of course i had fun with my makeup dressing up but i also love anything that has to do with creating a beautiful home i definitely grew up with a mom that would love to you know dress up the table or a tableware and so i kind of carry that until i got married so my tip for those of you who are starting to get into collecting plates and everything i didn't really start out with printed plates well i did grow up with blue and whites because my mother and my dad they loved the whole china set they had a blue and white china set i grew up eating with that but we always had white plates so i suggest that you invest with just minimalist white plates because every day you know sometimes you just want it simple and it's also nice to build up with whites especially like when it comes to fashion if you can kind of relate it to you know a white laser you could wear it with something colorful with jeans white always matches everything so eventually if you want to put in colors white is always a good set to start with so today i'm going to be setting up for my husband like i said a while ago i do not know how to cook and she agrees panda agrees i don't know how to cook but i do know how to make things beautiful and just be very very creative when it comes to setting up the table there aren't rules i mean of course when you search on youtube there are so many rules or etiquettes and stuff that you have to follow but at the end of the day it's also how you style yourself or how you style the table that really matters and yeah and making it pretty pretty and not so complicated so let's begin i love real flowers but they can get really expensive if ever i do buy real flowers i love carnations because they last for a long time but for now we're going to use this artificial plant i like to start with the center of the table because it's something that you could just keep even after you had dinner or lunch and it's sort of like a buffet you know when you go to restaurants or you go to hotels they always have biscuits and fruits available for everyone it's the same with the family these are just plain white plates again you want to have white plates because they're just the easiest to match with everything and then you can build up and eventually add color [Music] i have an option if i would like to keep it simple or i want to add maybe a gold touch again i don't believe in everything has to be perfect and the same or identical so we could actually mix it up and change it up a bit there are different ways actually to fold your napkin you could like do the candle when i was young i used to do this for the restaurant we do it like that but i'm going to do something very simple today cheese loves japanese steak corned beef i actually can cook those things but i guess he just does it better and he also finds it very therapeutic so i let him do the cooking he doesn't mind if i'm cooking i don't mind making him the usual croquettas and steak as well but his japanese fried rice is really the best so also i love napkin holders i think it adds a really nice elegant touch to your setup i'm going to add that cutlery is something that you should also invest on because well for me as much as possible i mean i do have because of its gifts but i just have like one set that i use it never dies meaning it never gets old so if you want really good cutlery i think it's nice that you invest on that i like to put three glasses aside from its aesthetically beautiful you never know if he wants soft drinks wine and water so you always have three glasses i think i am almost done i'm just going to bring out a really nice glass of red wine so i love wine and my husband also loves wine so we both like to collect wine when i was younger i used to go on i used to go to napa valley and with my my sister and my mom and we used to do that a lot because we grew up i grew up in san francisco so that was always such a treat to go to napa valley and eventually when cheese and i were together we also went to napa valley but that's just a little story so for every day whenever we can or whenever he's around but when he's not around i make sure that i have a glass for myself or i share with my friends because i can't really finish a bottle by myself i like to have the petite claw this is a bottle that i i love i think it's just really really nice and smooth so we usually decant this and we're actually ready to go we're done [Music] and to set the mood of course you have to light a candle love candles it's very dramatic so there you have it that was actually very easy and it didn't cost you that much instead of going out to a fine dining restaurant or something like that you're at home it's very intimate more memory shared and again it's not about what it is about what he cooks but i mean it's about making everything just very beautiful dainty and special and it's an added effort as a wife you know so if you guys are wondering where i got everything i used today of my makeup my outfit and my tablescape everything is available on zolora and for an additional 30 off a little treat for all of you you can use my code that's h-e-a-r-t heart and you get 30 off not bad better than dining out oh yeah this has been hard thank you so much for watching my channel i hope you enjoyed [Music] you
