I Love Me

 "You must want to spent the rest of your life with yourself first." - Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey

Valentine's spent with your significant other can be beautiful, as can Valentine's without them. So, if you're spending Valentine's alone today, this is what you're going to do...


♡ As soon as you wake up, put on your favourite play list. A mix of 50s jazz and 60s soul is going to be perfect for today's agenda.

♡ Treat your skin right! Wake up, wash your face and put on a mask while you sip on a warm cup of tea/coffee or just a glass of water.

♡ Get dressed in your favourite outfit. Whether it be a silk slip and a bralette, Levis and a big tee, throw it on with a pretty hat and don't forget to put on some red lipstick.

♡ Make yourself food, alone or with a loved one. With your dog, your mum, your sister, your cat, your fish, your plant. Go into the kitchen and make yourself your favourite breakfast. Pancakes are always a winner. If you're not much of a chef, then never mind! Go to a cafe alone with your favourite song plugged in to your ears, or listen to the conversations around you.


♡ If you're not already out at a cafe, head out now! Hop on your bike or in your car, or even better, take a walk and go to your favourite cafe with a book/journal in hand. Spend some time with yourself.

♡ Don't be afraid to splurge. Now is the time to spend some money on yourself, buy that thing that you've been looking at through the window for so long.

♡ On your way home, buy yourself your favourite flowers and skip home to put them in a beautiful vase.


♡ Now, spend your day as you wish. Do what you want to do! But don't forget to light some candles tonight and dance around to your favourite songs.


And to all the lovers out there, enjoy your day with your S.O.
Love is a beautiful thing.
Have a good Valentine's everyone xo
