Vino Rosso per Uno

Here we are again the time of the year some of us dread, while others love to love. Valentines day is tomorrow and I know there's plenty of us out there who will be spending it alone or unhappy. Let's be honest here, not everyone has someone they can gush about to friends and family, or some of us don't want to have anyone at the moment because, well we want to be selfish and care for ourselves. This post is dedicated to those people those of us who are being selfish at the moment and are worried about ourselves more than a holiday that gives people an excuse to make others feel a little bitter.

I honestly cannot count myself in that group of people who are bitter at this time of the year, it's not who I am, although I was in that position a year or two ago I am now nowhere near feeling that way. Valentines day this year is a happy one for me, and what do I  mean exactly by that? I am happy with myself, this past year I had a lot of alone time to work on myself, be more independent, I love me and the woman I am becoming. Although I have reason to celebrate valentines day I am instead choosing to have that mind space to celebrate self love. We all feel that this is a day to celebrate someone else in our lives, and although there's nothing wrong with that I feel it is very important for us to remember that love begins with us, and we should nurture that in some way. Whether you're spending this Valentines day alone or in good company enjoy a drink or three and remember that in order to be happy you must love yourself first. So to you in advance I say Happy Valentines Day.

What's on my Playlist

Hey there lovely people! I am back with another What's on my Playlist post and this week I have a list of ten new songs that I just cannot stop listening to.

Don't be afraid to click the links below which will bless your ears with beautiful sounds!

5 Ways to be Productive this Week

Productivity is something we all struggle with at some point. There are just days when you don't feel like doing much, and laziness creeps up (hello Netflix marathon) and before you know it you've hardly gotten anything done and feel like the days are just passing you by.

LBD & Lace up Sandals

 This week has been a trying one, I have had a lot of work to keep up with and although I'm good with deadlines I have been struggling to keep up. When you have a load of work you're used to it's easy to find a routine but taking up on more work definitely takes patience and is a learning curve.

The Truth About It All: Dead Sea Premier

 This weekend has been rainy for the most part that is the only way I can describe it if I am being truly honest. I recently received these lovely treats courtesy of Premier Dead Sea and they have honestly become a big part of my beauty routine. As soon as I received these I was excited and surprised at the lovely gesture since I am all for taking thorough care of my skin. I don't think this is something that will ever change, when you take care of your skin you can see the difference, the glow and clarity compared to people who just do not have the habit of doing a facial routine.

The Truth About It All: Influenster VoxBox Review

This weekend was a good one it took off very slowly. On Saturday I started my day with a light protein filled breakfast followed by almost two hrs. in the gym which were a great energy boost believe it or not. On Sunday I spent the day with my family cooking and laughing it was the right way to end the weekend after a stressful week. Then came when I realized I had yet to really look through my Influenster box to really see what was in it.

The Truth About It All: Chic off the Shoulder

findersKEEPERS

 Off the shoulder tops and dresses are having a big moment right now with many colors, patterns, and fabrics.I love that this is a trend right now, it reminds me of my moms style in her twenties. And a little jealous that I wasn't old enough to steal a couple of her things to wear now (she honestly had great style).  Although most of us love that the off the shoulder trend is having a moment right now, there are pieces that we just wish we could score for a good price.
