5 Ways to Show Yourself Love On Valentine's Day


I have always loved celebrating Valentine's Day because It is a dedicated day to spread love and be festive and who doesn't love those little valentines cards and candies? While in college I would pass out valentine cards to some of my friends and they thought it was the cutest thing. No matter your relationship status, showing love to others is important but before you do make sure you show yourself some love. Self love is the perfect way to fill up your love cup before you go pouring into others. Below I am sharing 5 ways that you can do just that.

BUY YOURSELF FLOWERS

Flowers are an instant mood booster and a great way to fill your home and your heart with love. So buy yourself some, place them in your favorite place in your home and enjoy their sweet aroma and aesthetic.


My favorite place to buy flowers in person is Trader Joe's. My favorite flower delivery services are Urban Stems, FTD and 1800 Flowers.

MAKE YOURSELF A MEAL

Cooking for yourself is a great way to slow down and show yourself some love.
