Hey there and happy Tuesday! This is going to be another 4-post week from me so get excited!! This post, however, is a little different than my typical I Adore What I Love posts because I have two things to talk about…

By now you’ve realized that I’m going to talk about my worst date EVER but before we delve deeper into that topic, I have something else to discuss! And it puts a big smile on my face!! You may have noticed over the past few weeks that while my blog looks very similar on a day to day basis, there are small little changes made to it everyday! I’ve heard feedback from many of my readers and I’m taking it all to heart {obviously} as I hope to make I Adore What I Love a bad ass lifestyle blog that’s sustainable, consistent, modern and fresh.
I won’t go into all the newly renovated aspects of the blog {just click around a bit and you will see lots of updated finishes} but I do want to touch on the most current improvement. At the top of any page, you’ll see a pink bar where you can subscribe with your email address to get each new post delivered directly to your inbox. And yesterday, I decided to ditch the email service I was using for a much much MUCH better one! If you are already a subscriber, than you probably saw that today’s email was way cleaner and felt smarter. On top of that, it’s more contemporary looking and a lot easier to read. I highly recommend you sign up to be apart of the “first to know” by receiving the blog’s weekly posts right to your fingertips! All you have to do is type your email address into the bar above, click on the black “subscribe now” button and viola, you are SET.

For my second order of business, I wanted to tell you about Kaitlin from the blog A Little Bit Ginger. She asked me to share the story of my worst date ever with her readers! I basically have the most amazing worst date story in the world {it’s already pretty famous amongst my friends} so I couldn’t pass up this opportunity. Obviously this unromantic tale of ridiculousness goes way back to the time of BH {before hubby} and BB {before baby} but that doesn’t mean I can’t retell it over and over again, right?! I didn’t think so. Before I start discussing one of the most unforgettable-yet-I-really-would-love-to-forget-about-it nights of my life, there’s more to clue you guys into: Kaitlin is asking for YOUR bad date stories for a chance to win over $100 of Vera Bradley goods! She’s using mine as inspo for yours! So head on over to her blog, read about my excruciating {yet funny-to-look-back-on-now} date and then submit your own!
PS you don’t HAVE to submit your own date story, but you should go read about mine! I promise it’s an entertaining read ;) And honestly, too unfortunate not to share with you!!
Sharing the red flags from my worst date on @ALBGinger's blog today! #iadorewhatilove Click To Tweet
Before you go though, can you comment with YOUR worst date story?? Using only 1-2 sentences? I want to hear about it!

Loved your story- between the constant couponing and wanting to take you to meet his parents, that kid was definitely not second-date material. :)

Nice story!!! I submitted mine – it’s about a terrible movie date with a guy who poked and elbowed me in the side throughout the whole movie, but the real kicker is… I saw his photo in Cosmo mag about 3 years later, under a headline about a serial date raper!

Ha! Hilarious, right?! There really are no words! Xox
First your blog looks wow! Made me realise I need to prep my one up. Worse date was with a doctor he had boogies in his nose and his last meal was in his beard. The date got really weird when he said “you should burn all you CDs music is no good for you!” That was the first and last time I met this charmingly weird and unhygienic man. To think he saves life’s 😱
Firstly your blog looks amazing and I need to really spend some time making my one look half as nice as this.
So my worst date was with a doctor, we met online. I went along to meet him, he had boogies hanging out of his nose and his last dinner was stuck in his beard. He then said “Shanel burn all your CDs music is no good for you”
I never met this charmingly weird and unhygienic man again. He did kind of creep me out and stalked me for a while.

I can’t get over the coupons. I would absolutely die!! (if you can’t afford to take a woman out on a date……don’t offer) ;)
