10 ways to celebrate Valentines Day

Learning to love yourself can be a challenge. This guide was created for the unmarried person who needs a reminder - it is absolutely okay to be alone. Learn to show love to yourself first before adding another person to your life. February 14th is ONE DAY that teaches others how you like to be consistently loved and appreciated. Whether you are happily single, anxiously waiting, or engaged, here are some ideas to help you prioritize Self Love routines, boundaries, and create a fulfilling life!

Emotional Care

Write yourself a Love Note! Write at least 3 things you like about yourself on the bathroom mirror and take time to read them once a day. You can use sticky notes or red lipstick! Give yourself a compliment.

Do a Self Reflection. Be honest with characteristics you struggle with and schedule a few sessions with a Licensed Mental Health Therapist to help you process it. Don’t wait until you lose a relationship to deal with the issue. Being able to think freely and process ideas with judgement and bias is freedom, luxury. Don’t skip over this one.

Try a new recipe. Food is always an emotional comfort. I just tried this recipe with Salmon and Garlic Cream Sauce and it was ABSOLUTELY delicious! Left me speechless.

Learn how to make candles at Coco & Shea Lab in Dallas! These luxurious candles are AMAZING! 

Plan a Professional Makeup session + Professional Photoshoot. This is a major CONFIDENCE boost - you won’t regret it. Below is a picture from my birthday photoshoot and it was so much fun! (Also, don’t worry about your weight, just take the pictures. You will lose weight when you are ready)

Hair Care

Hair session with a deep detox. Yes, you can wash your own hair, but that takes a lot of time (and my arms get tired, lol). Give your brain a break, remove those extensions, take off the wig and get a deep cleanse and steam treatment. You will feel lighter.

For added Opulence: 

  • Dreads/Locks - Add pure orange extract or rose oil during your detox for another level 😍 (follow @locsbydee on TikTok for more tips)

  • Curly/Straight - Buy Oribe! The Hair Alchemy (yellow) is my favorite for my curly hair. The scent has me floating for days afterwards and it makes my hair texture feel so soft! 

  • Dry Hair - Ask your stylist about adding a Steam Treatment or visit Dallas and schedule an appointment with Her Mane Therapy

  • I love to add a little peppermint oil directly to my scalp after shampooing! Peppermint oil is so clearing and refreshing (Not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding).

Physical Care

Walking is Self Care! The media is overwhelmed with these gym performances and it can all be too much and a huge distraction! Nature is almost always liberating, just go for a 30 minute walk outside. Healthy lifestyle changes don't have to be dramatic, but an enjoyable adjustment. Be patient with yourself. 

Schedule an On-site Massage. Whether you plan a staycation at your favorite hotel or have a space in your home. Schedule a Professional Massage with PS Traveling Spa. This Dallas traveling spa has a reputation for creating the best In-Home experiences so you can just go straight to bed. 

Plan an After Hours Bath Session. After hours because your neighbors and family are more than likely to be asleep. Warm baths are always relaxing but you can elevate your experience with my bath recipe below:

  • 2 cups of unscented Epsom Salt

  • ¼ cup of Cold Pressed Coconut Oil

  • 5 drops of Eucalyptus Oil 

  • 5 drops of Geranium Oil

This relaxes your muscles, can enhance joint and ligament flexibility, hydrates your skin and calms your mind before bed. Just add some tealight or vanilla candles and you will melt away.

Plan a Solo Trip. Going to Cairns, Australia was one of the best trips I took by myself. I went hiking in the jungle, held a Koala, and enjoyed some true alone time poolside. There is something about taking a break from your daily routine and experiencing another culture.

Happily Single, Waiting, or engaged - BE SURE TO DATE YOURSELF, learn to love you first. Whoever comes along will know just how to treat you. 

Cheers!
