10 Romantic DIY Valentines for the Man in Your Life
1.) "Open When" Letters This is a pretty amazing gift that has gained popularity over the years. You take envelopes and decorate them. Each one should have "Open When" and then something following it, such as "You're sad or "You're Hungry" or "You miss me." Some people decide to include gift cards or money in ones that have to do with hunger or boredom, but they don't have to. They could just be heartfelt notes, letters, or a letter with a recipe.

New App May Help You Earn Side Cash??
Lots of apps claim to help you earn money on the side, but a lot of them are ridiculous and I have pretty much tried them all. From taking surveys, watching video ads, scratch offs apps, to an app that you just click a block of ice to chip away and it reveals a 300 gift card. They seem legit at first but it ends up ALWAYS having a catch. With the surveys you only earn .25 per survey and only was offered five surveys a day, the scratch offs were based on a point system and it took 75,000 points to get a $5 dollar gift card and don't even get me started on the block of ice. My fingers are still cramping and after a month I wasn't even close.
