Happy Valentine's Day, lovaaassss! After Christmas and Halloween, VDAY is my favorite holiday. You gotta love love, no? Regardless of whether I've been single or dating someone on Valentine's Day, it's always such a fun day for me. I'm a sucker for all of the cute lovey vibes and most importantly, the yummy foods. You don't have to sell me twice on sugar! I'll be back to grilled chicken on Monday but this weekend is fair game on candy, snackies + donuts! I also couldn't resist the KK Valentine lineup this year-how cute are these? The box + presentation is a 10/10.
On a real note, I wanted to just chat and wish you a Happy Valentine's today. I know not everyone loves today and it can be tough if you don't have a special someone (and *want* one, lol) and even more so if you've lost a special someone. This week my thoughts and prayers have been with family friends of mine who lost their husband and father. His funeral service was scheduled for today which is just awful and devastatingly difficult for everyone. Life always has a way of putting things in perspective and reminding you of what's really important. I took a few minutes today to reflect on how grateful I am to be able to spend today with the people I love most. Tomorrow is never guaranteed and unfortunately we never know whether we'll have another Valentine's Day together or not.
It can be tough but circumstances like these remind me that the little inconveniences and annoyances of my life really aren't important. It's also just way more fun to embrace and focus on what's good and right now that is YOU. The real secret to Valentine's Day is that you always and forever have a Valentine- yourself. Sometimes you may be lucky enough to have multiple but the best and most important is you. That's why I always have the best day no matter what ;) Here's a little reminded that you should take the time each and every day to really appreciate and love yourself and then just add a teeny bit more on Valentine's Day- we all deserve love and to feel special.
If you're single today, it also just might be your last Valentine's Day alone! How wild is it to think of that? I saw someone on TikTok share today that if you haven't found the one yet, your person's also out there right now wishing and waiting to buy flowers for you- how sweet is that! You've gotta love love, ya'll.
Now it's time to end the day with a little r&r and maybe a fun rom-com? Robert Palmer's "Best Day of My Life" has also been all over my TikTok this week so now all I can think about watching is A Cinderella Story. Love ya mean it!
How'd you spend today?? LMK!
