Be Your Own Valentine



Valentine's Day is a holiday that is all about love. Whether that's love for your partner, family or BFF - this holiday is a nice reminder to stop and show the people in your life just how much they mean to you. But why stop with them? Why not show yourself some love this Valentine's Day too {after all your deserve it}! So go ahead and love yourself this Valentine's Day with these 10 ways to be your own Valentine!





1. Bubble Bath 
There's nothing more relaxing than a bubble bath- right?! So grab your favorite bubble bath, a candle, and even a glass of wine! Then, continue celebrating by adding numbers 2-10 to your Self-Love Valentines' Day list. You can even check out this blog post for an easy DIY body scrub recipe. 

2. Cozy up with a Good Book 
We love You Are a Badass, or Radical Self Love

3. Face Mask 
This is one of our favorite things to do!  AND you could easily do this while watching a movie, cozying up with a book or journaling.

4. Manicure 
You can grab your favorite nail polish and give yourself an at home spa treatment, OR you can give yourself an extra treat and go get a mani/pedi!

5. Love Letters 
Take some time and write a love letter to yourself. What are three things you love about yourself? You could even mail the letter to yourself for a nice surprise later!

6. Dinner Date 
There are some nights when the last thing we want to do is worry about what to make for dinner. So this Valentine's Day give yourself the night off from cooking dinner & treat yourself to your favorite restaurant or try something new. We recently discovered UberEATS and it has been a game changer!

7. Movie Night 
After a long day at work we love to cozy up in bed with a mug of hot chocolate or a glass of wine and watch an episode or two {or three OR four OR an entire season?} of the show we've been binge watching on Netflix. But since it is Valentine's Day we recommend binge watching your favorite romantic comedies instead. Some of our favorites include: The Notebook (we're sure this is everyone's), Sweet Home Alabama, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, 10 Things I Hate About You 

8. Valentine's Day Gift 
Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to buy yourself that sweater you've had your eye on, OR those earrings that have been all over Instagram. At least that's what we keep telling ourselves, so go ahead and splurge - you deserve it!

9. Buy Yourself Flowers 
There's something about fresh flowers that can instantly brighten up your day, but chocolate or wine will do too ;)

10. Candles or Essential Oils 
Hello aromatherapy! Candles and essential oils are the perfect way to relax and unwind, creating a nice calming atmosphere. We love diffusing lavender, or a combination of orange and lemon!
