Quicksilver Concierge and Errand Service Newsletter
 
February, 2007
Greetings!
Love it or hate it, it's here: Valentine's Day! Some people think it's the perfect opportunity to say how you feel. Others think it's a day created by card companies, full of commercialism. But no matter what you think, I bet you know someone who will be upset if you let it go by un-celebrated! QCS has great ideas for the most romantic day of the year. Don't be afraid to ask for help from Cupid!
 
As always, with this newsletter it is our goal to provide useful information and tips, and to be on call for you when you need help. We'd love to hear what you would like to see in upcoming issues.

Chocolate kisses,

Ellen Lovelace, Founder and President

Get Out of the House!
bar mitzvah 

Many of us work so hard during the week that we find ourselves couch bound when we have down time.  You may have a list of 50 things to do around the house on your weekend or during your spring break.  Here's an idea, outsource the list and RUN, don't walk, out of the house!  Here are a few ideas that you can indulge in very reasonably.

 

  • Check out a new hiking or walking trail
  • Go bowling - bowling alleys all over have been updated, check out their new look
  • Learn to horseback ride (there are many stables that offer very easy trail rides for beginners)
  • Go to a museum or aquarium
  • Near a beach?  Many Boardwalks are open on weekends through the winter months.
  • Whale watching:  Sorry Kansas, you will have to board a plane for this one. If you are near the Pacific Ocean, this is the time of year to watch the Orcas in Washington and Oregon and gray whales in California. 

Getting fresh air and having some fun will rejuvenate you more than a nap on the couch.  We have many more ideas to share, and can take care of your "to do list" so you have time to get out and enjoy life.

Contact us today at info@quicksilverconcierge.com for more ideas or booking assistance.
