The heart-shaped pink and red fever dream of Valentine’s Day has passed. Welcome to Self-Love February 15—the day when you buy yourself something just because you deserve it.
February 15 is an underrated holiday. It's a day of quiet rebellion against cheesy, mass-produced romance. It's also a day to practice a little self-love and get yourself something you actually want. Not a box of chain-store chocolates, not a stuffed bear holding a satin heart, but something with practicality and purpose, thoughtfully chosen because it will make your life better in some small way.
Your Valentine may not get you a handsome new Dish brush Holder or a Luxury Laundry Soap for V-Day (although they probably should). But treating yourself to a practical, beautiful object that you’ll use every day is a clever way to spark joy.
A solid brass funnel that makes decanting a more glamorous task, a deliciously fragrant Hand Cream, or even a gorgeous ceramic tray to hold your earrings and a cup of hot chocolate on your bedside table—these are the little things that can inject a glimmer of joy into your everyday routine.
A well-chosen indulgence is not frivolity; it’s an investment in your well-being. It's YOUR turn to treat yourself to something special.
Good for You,
Xx, mlk
