i love Valentines day.
yes, i admit it. i am sucker for this day. i embrace my girlie side and anticipate flowers, chocolate, so much pink, and maybe a fancy dessert.
okay yes, sometimes its me buying the chocolate and making that fancy dessert..
use the day as a small reminder to do something nice for yourself. you deserve it.
i know quite a few people who don't care for the Hallmark holiday but single or taken.. i am a fan of chocola- i mean VALENTINES day.
let it be about chocolate.
why not? let's not make a big deal, no pressure here. psh, Valentines schmalentines.. chocolate appreciation day! yeees. nothing resonates love like a beautiful box of See's Candies. growing up it was always a special day when the See's box would arrive. Tokyo, Caracas, Dhaka it didn't matter where in the world my family lived See's would always deliciously appear at our door. moving all the time meant that our family traditions had to be a little different and that was okay.
this particular box of chocolates i worked especially hard for. let me tell you February 13th is NOT the day you want to be in any chocolate/candy store, but I am sure any intelligent person would know that! i dove in and committed to that 45 min wait in line and i was just not leaving until i had that chocolate.
(insta-)sweet gesture from my broken valentine.
show some love, if you have no one to give it to, give it to yourself.
slow down and take the time to try and find the smile in every situation.
