February is upon us and with it comes one of my favorite holidays: Valentine’s Day! Personally, I enjoy the excuse to shower my people with love and squeeze in a great date night.
I recently partnered with Green Oak Village Place in Brighton, Michigan to showcase all things LOVE available this year for shoppers. Make sure to scroll to the end for a great giveaway with 3 easy ways to enter!
Valentine’s Day at Green Oak Village Place in Brighton
When I visited the shopping plaza, I not only found all kinds of great gifts for my kiddos, but I checked in on a few spots that would be perfect for a date night.
The Space
The Space is one of the most beautiful yoga studios I have been to. I’ve taken a few classes there and they are always extremely wonderful and relaxing. A nice perk is that they offer childcare for an additional fee if you aren’t able to find a sitter.
There is an upcoming workshop that sounds great for couples and includes partner yoga. They will even teach some Thai massage!
X-Golf Brighton
I recently tried virtual golf for the first time and had so much fun! {I’m terrible…I promise you don’t have to be great to do it!} This location opened on Black Friday and has been a hit ever since. I enjoyed talking with the manager about the offerings. This would be a fantastic location for a date night, or a birthday party. There are appetizers and a full bar available and each simulator can accommodate up to 6 people. They also offer lessons, which is nice so you don’t have to worry about weather 😉
To book a tee time, simply visit them online. I can’t wait to visit again!
Boba Bare Craft Tea
This cool shop is the perfect spot to pick up a bubble tea and honestly, just SMILE. It’s so cute inside and is a popular hangout for teens and couples! They have a huge selection of bubble teas. Or, if you’re like me and need caffeine while shopping, the Iced-shaken Brown Sugar Espresso is amazing. My barista suggested adding tapioca boba to mine and it was so delicious. I highly recommend a visit to this adorable independent business!

Joe Kools
Dubbed as “A place you can catch a game, take a date, or feed the family,” this sports bar is a ton of fun. I love that they have live music on Fridays, a spot to play darts or Golden Tee, Club Keno, and a menu with loads of options for all palates. They also have happy hour Monday-Friday with $2 off drinks and rotating drink specials. Learn more and view the menu here.
TIP: The have the BEST ranch!! I also really enjoyed my Cobb salad and French Onion soup during this visit. I’m also a fan of the olive burger and sweet potato fries.
Additional spots worth considering for some Valentine’s Day shopping:
- Sola Salon: Get a facial, massage or a hair cut at an independent business owner inside
- Five Below: Nab candy and fun little items for kids
- Dick’s Sporting Goods: Pink Stanleys, pink Nike socks, and team apparel for any sports lovers in your house

When you’re done shopping, make sure to check out one of the great restaurants located in the plaza:
- Pick up a pizza at Rollin Stone Wood Fired Pizza
- Get a to-go order from Panera Bread
- Get take-out from Kerby’s Koney Island
- Enjoy Mexican-inspired fare from Salsarita’s
- Grab wings at Buffalo Wild Wings
- Grab a coffee at the Starbucks inside Barnes & Noble
TIP: If you need to move after dining, check out the woodsy trail across from JCPenney. There is a paved walking path that leads to Island Lake State Recreation Area and a mountain bike trail.
