Spoiling Your Inner Valentine
Hallmark cards, candy hearts, rosebuds, chocolates - the list goes on and on for your hubby, mom, sister, kids, classmates, and friends, but what about your true #1? Loving yourself is not about being selfish or a narcissistic. It’s not about telling the world what you want and complaining when you don’t get it. Self-love is about looking at yourself through the eyes of a loving mama, a loving spirit. It’s looking at yourself from the outside and asking “how can I treat this soul with the most love and care it deserves?”
Self-love is simply about wielding your power to act from a place of kindness + respect toward your entire SELF.
So on a day all about love, how do you honor your true valentine? You spoil and treat yourself all day! Play your favorite song in the morning, wear your favorite outfit, take yourself out on a date, and above all else indulge in some sweets and self care rituals. Act as if you're having a love affair … with yourself.
Take your morning slow. Light some Palo Santo and journal a love note to yourself. Talk about your favorite physical attributes and what you’re proud of to show off. Write all of your dreams over the month + year and all the qualities you possess to accomplish these goals.
Bake something sweet and decadent. Here’s a round up of my favorite Philosophie sweets.
Cacao Magic Fiber Breakfast Cookies
Raw, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Cake !! Chocolate Lovers Beware!
Cacao Magic Peanut Butter Cups
At the end of the day, use your favorite bath + body products all over your skin. Drink your favorite warm tea and maybe soak in a bath. Pair it with this simple, 2-step DIY Philosophie face mask:
First: Take 1-2 tsp of Green Dream Superfood + Protein Blend mixed with water in your hand and apply to your face for 15 min.
Second: Take 1-2 tbsp Berry Bee Honey and apply to clean face for no less than 30 min.
A true lover wants to take care of you in every way possible. So take care of yourself by putting yourself first. Life is meant to be good. Crazy, sexy, ridiculously good. When you take care of yourself, everything improves dramatically and the romantic partnership, body confidence, and dream career … all come naturally.
