Happy Valentine’s Day to all my Style Mavens, and especially to all my single ladies, who may feel a little left out and alone today. Never ever let this day make you feel any less than you are or like you’re missing something, because you’re not. You are Whole, Beautiful, Fabulous, Creative and Talented.
For all you single ladies, here’s your anthem “I’m Every Woman” by Chaka Khan
Love and Kisses to you all… Smooches
Hello Darlings! So good old Valentine’s Day is upon us again, and even though it may be too late to order a gift for yourself or significant other to arrive tomorrow, you can still purchase these lovely paper weights from Mark and Graham. I love this store, you can buy the most lovely paper, monogrammed stationery, and desk accessories, as well as some really beautiful leather items. I love anything paper or any item that’s going to make my home office look elegant. I think these fit the bill.
And ladies, if you’re single on Valentine’s Day, treat yourselves to one of these, and place it in prime position on your desk, as a reminder to always LOVE YOU FIRST♥
Here is one of my favourite poems from Nikki Giovanni’s book “Love Poems” which I’ve owned for years, and always love reading from time to time. Have a fabulously blessed Valentine’s Day Darlings… Mwah♥
Some people forget that love is
tucking you in and kissing you
“Good night”
no matter how young or old you are
Some people don’t remember that
love is
listening and laughing and asking
questions
no matter what your age
Few recognize that love is
commitment, responsibility
no fun at all
unless
Love is
You and me
The ubiquitous allocated day of “Love” is upon us once again. Whether you believe it’s one of the most commercialized holidays, selling flowers and gourmet chocolates at over inflated premium prices, or you’re a die hard romantic, who truly believes in “Valentine’s Day” either way, there is no way to miss it.
Whether you have a significant other or not, enjoy the day, but more importantly, LOVE yourself! Today, celebrate how much YOU’VE grown over the past year, LOVE YOURSELF for that. Celebrate how much YOU’VE accomplished, love yourself for that too.
Even if you do have a significant other to bring you flowers, go out and buy yourself a bunch just because you love you too. If not flowers, treat yourself to something, it can be as small or as large as you like. I know Valentine’s day is supposed to be about romance, but why not romance yourself? You deserve it.
Go to Starbucks and buy yourself that Venti Caramel Macchiato with extra caramel. instead of your usual grande with skimmed milk. Go to Godiva and buy yourself the box of treats which contains 4 of their best-selling chocolates, and sit and eat them all at once, or even better, buy yourself 2 of their huge chocolate covered strawberries and eat them at once too.
My point is, Treat Yourself, Love Yourself, make Valentines Day whatever you’d like it to be, and if you choose to ignore Valentines Day altogether, you can sit in front of your TV wearing whatever you like, and watch a few reruns of NCIS or Castle {USA and TNT respectively}… Hey, that’s just fine too! Just pour yourself a glass of wine, while you’re at it!
