It is no secret here that we enjoy movie nights here at home. While many are family approved, there are times that my husband and I also enjoy a movie night with just the two of us. This is usually more couple or even a bit less PG rated I suppose. But sometimes it is just nice to be able to enjoy alone time. What better way to do so than to enjoy a movie together alone at home.
But how can you get back to basics to enjoy a date night at home together?
Read on now…
3 Easy Surefire At Home Date Movie Night Tips
1. Pick the Right Sexy Date Night Movie
Just as with an movie night at home, whether it be with or sand kids, picking the right movie makes all the difference. For date night movie night right now, the final DVD in the Fifty Shades trilogy is here with Fifty Shades Freed (Blu-ray combo pack + exclusive packaging + photo gallery inside).
This Exclusive DVD is available at Walmart. If you aren’t familiar with the Fifty Shades trilogy, these movies are truly the perfect way to enjoy an at home date night. See the third and final Fifty Shades Freed Exclusive DVD is also the perfect at home date night movie.
Why? Because we are watching the story of Christian and Anna unfold for the final time. Plus, this is also because Fifty Shades has romance, sex appeal and so much more. And I happen to have read all three books in this sexy series. Plus, I highly viewed and enjoyed the two previous movies in this series, too. So, I might be a bit of a Fifty Shades fan overall. And the newest movie doesn’t disappoint int he least.

Well, well, Ms. Janine! I was blushing and grinning as I read this. Hehe. 50 Shades!? HAHA. I read the first book and felt all guilty. Me and my Catholic upbringing. HAHAH. Too funny.

AnnMarie John says
I’m one of the very few females who weren’t interested in the 50 Shades franchise. I just couldn’t get into the book and so was never interested in the movie. However, I’m loving the drink. That is right up my alley.
Janine says
Glad you love the drink and maybe you could give the movie another try!
Nellie says
You know I’ve read the books but never saw the movies?! This drink sounds delicious though, so I’m bookmarking it for this winter!!
Janine says
Nellie, I know you can’t drink this now with the pregnancy. But definitely think you will more than enjoy next winter for sure 🙂
Dara says
I used to love non alcoholic Shirley Temples. I bet I’d enjoy this too!
Janine says
I think you totally would as I have always been a fan of virgin Shirley Temples, too. And I loved the alcoholic version I came up with here, as well 🙂
Mary says
I still remember going to my blockbuster with my parents, they would pick a movie for them, and we, the kids, would pick a movie. I love those memories 🙂 Can you believe I haven’t seen Fifty Sades? I’ve only heard great things, I really need to watch all of them. Loving the idea of theme night Janine. That raspberry vodka sounds delicious.
Tamara says
It looks so good!! My perfect movie date night involves pretty drinks, popcorn with butter, and some sort of sweet.
Janine says
Thanks Tamara and I love your idea of a fun date night, too!! 🙂
