Valentine’s Day

I wanted to remind you ladies -whether you’re single, married, in love or “it’s complicated”- it’s important to love yourself too.

If you don’t like yourself, it sends out bad mojo into the world and it’s hard for you to love other people . And for other people to love you.

Do you ever listen to your inner monologue? We are so hard on ourselves sometimes. Here’s a glimpse into mine…”I need to loose a few pounds” “why do I stink at this?” “I’m never going to be successful” “everyone has it figured out except for me” “what’s wrong with me?!”

Sound familiar?

Just wanted you to know you aren’t alone and I love you guys! So don’t forget to take care of yourself, even if that means buying yourself a treat or too while you’re at it.

XOXO

*****

Ikat Heart Cami & Ikat Heart Shorts: The sweetest cami set. Beauty rest at it’s finest.

Love Note: A handwritten note sharing how much you appreciate someone can be quite gratifying. I’ve been sending out thank you notes every Friday and I feel so amazing afterwards. It’s like a mini gratitude session.

Nude Nail Polish Set: Mani’s force yourself to tune out and get off the phone. These colors are the classiest. How perfect for spring too?

Glossier Rose Face Mist: According to my sister-in-law and friends, Rose face mists are all the rage. And Glossier’s seems to be the star of the show.

Landeau Florals: These are sadly only sold in NYC. I may have cried when I found out. But tell me these aren’t the most beautiful arrangements you ever did see? If you’re a Chicago local, I couldn’t recommend Flowers For Dreams more. Affordable, charitable and a stunning presentation.

Rose Petal Tea: I learned about Rose Petal tea from Jess Lively – I listen to her Podcast every week. When she shared it as one of her favorites, it sold out! Now I’ve been dying to try it. She likes this one, but I like the packaging of the one above better. Such a sucker for labels!

Valentine Sprinkle Carry On Cocktail Kit: If your better half travels for work, how cute would it be to slip this in his briefcase as a surprise?

Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge: Creamy and dewy. A blush and lip in one! I just convinced my mom to get one and she’s hooked.

TopShop Heart Shirtdress: This is sold out guys! I am so sorry, but had to still share it. How fun right? P.S. TREND ALERT! Do you notice the fun black edging in front? I see this popping up, so keep your eyes peeled.

Heart Elbow Patch Striped Sweater: Only $22! Perfect for a hole in the wall date with beer and pool. Or a cozy, movie night in.

 

P.S. The French way to Valentine’s Day, last minute V-day gifts and the art of the valentine.
