Valentine’s Day, Self-Care and a Little Extra Love

I really love Valentine’s Day.
Not in the big, romantic, candlelit-dinner way, but in the everyday, intentional love kind of way. The kind that shows up in small moments, messy kitchens and taking a pause to appreciate the people who make life feel full.
Last night, I made a heart-shaped cake with my kids. And when I say heart shaped, I mean strategically engineered. Target does not have heart shaped pans! This required baking a square cake, a round cake, cutting the round cake in half, rotating the square diagonally, and hoping for the best.
That was already half the battle.
The other half? Letting the kids go ham with frosting and sprinkles.
It was chaotic.
It was messy.
It was slightly destructive.
And it was incredibly sweet.

Why Valentine’s Day Isn’t Just About Romance

For me, Valentine’s Day isn’t just about romance at all. It’s about connection. It’s a reminder to slow down and show love to the people who matter. My family, friends and the community around me.
That includes you.

Over the years, this beauty space has become so much more than just a studio offering spray tans and self-care services. It’s become a place where confidence is built, deep feelings are shared, friendships are made and people walk out feeling better than when they walked in.

What I Love Most About This Beauty Community

There are so many little moments that make this work meaningful to me.

• When clients tell me how confident and beautiful they feel after a spray tan.
• When we share before-and-after photos so others can see the difference self-care can make.
• When you reply to my emails or messages with life updates. “The blind date went great!” And a year later, “I’m engaged!!” (True story).

Those connections are everything.
They’re the reason I love what I do.

Self-Care Is a Form of Love

At its core, Valentine’s Day is really about love and self-care is one of the simplest ways to practice it.

Whether that looks like

• Taking time for a spray tan before a special event
• Scheduling a teeth whitening to brighten your smile
• Using red light therapy to supercharge your cells for better health and wellness

It all counts.

I’m so grateful that you’re here, reading this, following along and being part of this beauty community. It truly means a lot to me that I get to play even a small role in making your self-care routine easier, more relaxing and a little more joyful.

Sending You Love This Valentine’s Day

Thank you for being in my universe. Thank you for trusting me, supporting this space, and showing up as you are.
Sending you lots of love this Valentine’s Day and always!
