Valentine's Day Essentials!

I actually have to work on valentine's day, but if I had the day off I probably would have had / done all of these things. You could even do this before your date or invite a bunch of your girlfriends over to join you!

DIY SPA "KIT"

I stuck everything in a cute little white basket [from Dollar Tree] just so I have everything all in one easy accessible spot and I don't need to rush around looking for something, I can actually just relax and enjoy.

My go-to spa things include;

• a candle to set the mood - mine is Peach Bellini from Bath And Body Works, and let me just say, if you have not smelled this candle before, YOU NEED TO DO IT NOW [please]. Because seriously, it's the bomb diggity. 
• bubble bath / bath bombs / bath fizzers, etc. - and a bath.
• nail polish - to do my nails all nice and pretty [if you haven't checked out my V-Day nail tutorial click here! ]
• masks - face / hair / feet masks, the works.
• a rubber ducky - just because.
• body lotion / body cream - to keep you nice and moisturised. 

SNACKS

Food is always a must. I've actually done a post on Valentine's day treats and they are SO gooood, so to check that out click here!

You can't go wrong with tea either, I'm currently obsessed with Celestial Seasonings Fruit Sampler.

MOVIES

A combination of funny and sad movies is the perfect mix so you can still enjoy the sadder films without getting too deep down in the dumps. 

[in case it's too hard to read some of the movies I enjoy for Valentine's Day are; Titanic, The Fault In Our Stars, When In Rome, A Cinderella Story, Gnomeo And Juliet, Bride Wars and The Game Plan]

BOOKS / MAGAZINES

After watching movies, I like to read for a bit before bed to calm myself down after staring at a screen for hours. I'm in the middle of reading the Gone series by Michael Grant, it's a six book series, not necessarily Valentine's Day material but still SUPER good!

Magazines I tend to lean toward are Seventeen, Teen Vogue and Cosmopolitan.

I hope you all have a safe and wonderful Valentine's Day!
