Date Night

 Date night takes on a whole new (and more meaningful) meaning post-baby. For the last two years, making it a priority has been challenging. It’s easy to become consumed by all things baby. And it’s even harder if you don’t live near family (like us). But we’ve put in a lot more effort in recent months to get in our regular date nights.

My favorite date night of late starts at Couloir Wines on historic Ark Row in Tiburon: I’ll enjoy a glass of Sauvignon Blanc on their quiet and relaxing outdoor patio. I’ll have packed a smaller clutch for the evening in my work tote, as well as some necessary items in my beauty bag:

• a contour and highlight palette by Charlotte Tilbury (just for a little touch up in lieu of more blush!)
• a spritz of Caudalie’s refreshing beauty elixir (it’s also a must for air travel)
• Nexxus New York Salon Care’s Oil Infinite Nourishing Hair Oil to renew my hair and smoothen it (using a rich 6-oil blend, including Babassu and Marula oils). I love using the oil to smooth my ends before twisting it into a low bun. Easy and effortless.
• and finally, berry-colored lipstick (my go-to color, current favorite is Marc Jacob’s J’Taime)

We’ll head over to Don Antonio or Luna Blu for delicious Italian. During the summer, we’ll grab a waffle cone of Three Twins ice cream from the Grass Shack before calling it a night. Everything’s within walking distance – we love taking in the charm of our small town with a summer evening stroll.
