💘🖤 10 TOTALLY UNHINGED WAYS TO BE YOUR OWN VALENTI 💘🖤 10 TOTALLY UNHINGED WAYS TO BE YOUR OWN VALENTINE

Valentine’s Day doesn’t get to decide how you feel about yourself. 💘🔥

You can be soft and feral.
Reverent and unhinged.
Deeply in love with your own existence without explaining it to anyone.

Wear the crown. 👑
Buy the flowers. 💐
Light the candle for absolutely no reason. 🕯️

Date yourself like you’re the most interesting person you know.

If your nervous system could use a little romance that isn’t conditional, transactional, or algorithm-approved…

I made something for you. 💗

✨ Be Your Own Valentine is a free workshop full of celebration, education, rituals, solo-date magic, EFT, heart-opening goodness, and permission to love yourself loudly on a day that usually tries to outsource that job.

Come as you are. Stay as long as you want.

We love movies like You’ve Got Mail, Sleepless In We love movies like You’ve Got Mail, Sleepless In Seattle, and When Harry Met Sally because...

Nora Ephron creates real life romance you can actually touch.

Letters. Kitchens. Bookstores. Seasons. Rituals.

Romance can happen between and on errands.
In emails. Or letters.
With inside jokes.
On car rides.
While you’re standing in line for coffee.
Over years or in a minute.
Patiently.
Messily.
Come Spend Galentine’s Day With Me! I want to sho Come Spend Galentine’s Day With Me!

I want to show you how I celebrated last year…

I had some friends over for celebrating one of the best holidays Parks and Recreation ever came up with, all about the babes!

📸PHOTOBOOTH📸

I set up the backdrop with a pink curtain and a balloon garland. I went through all my props and picked out all the pink, red, and white ones I thought would be fun. There was a selfie ring light set up and everyone left with a Polaroid!

🎴GAMES🎴

I obtained an old school copy of Girl Talk from the 90’s. I couldn’t believe I was the only one who had ever played (this was a staple at every sleepover I attended during elementary/middle school). It’s essentially truth or dare with a couple more twists. My favorite part was when we had to call a cute guy and sing to him. We left April’s husband a voicemail of us singing Lil Jon’s “Get Low”.

We also played Famous Women Bingo where we got to learn facts about famous women throughout history. Julia won!

✂️CRAFTING/JOURNALING✂️

I had hundreds of V day stationery and craft supplies for us to sit down and create at the table together. It was very sweet.

🎁GOODY BAGS🎁

Everyone left with a 💓 Rhodonite crystal 💓 Dark chocolate 💓 Friendship bracelet 💓 Burt’s Bees ChapStick 💓 Friendship bracelet 💓 Sticker 💓 Face mask 💓 Tulip

🍓SNACKS🍓

I had out blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, yogurt pretzels, popcorn, meats, cheese, crackers, pink cupcakes, and Heather brought cornbread!

We had some champagne/sparkly 🥂 drinks with raspberries inside for a toast!

😍MORE😍

There was also a temporary tattoo 😽 station (but turns out that was mostly just for me).

I sent out postcards 💌 to everyone who attended as a memento.

I think this was a great way to spend 3 hours on a Saturday. This is ultimately my new favorite kind of party. 🥳 An afternoon where we have time to get ready in the morning and time to do something else later if we want to.

I had a great time, and I’m so grateful for these babes for coming and participating in life! 👭

Valentine’s Day can be weird. 💘 ❌ You don’t have Valentine’s Day can be weird. 💘

❌ You don’t have to romanticize it.
❌ You don’t have to survive it gracefully.
❌ You don’t have to make meaning out of it at all.

👑 You CAN wear a crown to the grocery store.
🍰 You CAN eat dessert like it’s a coping strategy.
💐 You CAN hold flowers for no one and call it art.
🔥 You CAN rename the day and refuse the script entirely.

This is your reminder to be a little feral, a little soft, and deeply on your OWN side.

Celebrate yourself. Ignore the algorithms. Make it strange. Make it yours. 🖤
