Be Your Own Valentine

Beauties, it’s Valentine’s Day this Friday… what better time to be your own Valentine and to treat yourself to some self-love? Yes, there can be flowers from a loved one or a fancy meal, but Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to show love to yourself as well.

I like to think of it as a reminder that love is a continuum and something that we are all able to give and receive. Whenever Valentine’s Day comes along, we put our focus on self-love and this year is no different… love for yourself is everything and is as important as the love that you have for your significant other, your family and your friends.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re advocating self-love and self-care. It’s a duty you have to yourself and you deserve it. Remember that when we are able to love ourselves fully, our world can open up- we find ourselves with a more positive outlook and spirit and are able to make better choices aligned with all that we want for ourselves.

So whatever else you’re doing this Valentine’s Day make some time that’s just for you… here are some ideas.

Nourish your soul: Dive into an inspiring book like Lalah Delia’s Vibrate Higher Daily to elevate your mindset and spirit.
Create a bathing sanctuary: Run a warm bath and indulge in luxurious bath treats for the ultimate relaxation.
Indulge in aromatherapy: Treat yourself to a self-massage with nourishing aromatherapy oils, or get a loved one to pamper you (and return the favour!).
Journal your gratitude: Reflect on what you’re grateful for and set intentions for the year ahead.
Brighten your space: Buy yourself some fresh flowers to uplift your mood and add a splash of colour to your home.

And of course, we’re sharing some beautiful self-care essentials to help you on your journey and be your own Valentine…
