Love Day (AKA Valentines Day)

My take on it at this point in my life is that it is officially Galentine's Day. Love yourself before you can expect anyone else to love you. Treat yourself and gift yourself before anyone else. It sure is nice to have someone in your corner, but until then, get giddy about you for yourself!

Is should always be love you day everyday! Why is there a specific day for so called "love day?" Love You day should be EVERYDAY! Just like every other holiday and the meaning behind those holidays should be an everyday thought! Self care should ALWAYS be a thing! It should always be a priority and should NEVER be questioned.

Live more than you work! Live for you and then live and love the people that you care about! There is nothing wrong with putting yourself I say after God.

I don't have a ton of green to play around with every time I get paid. I have to really budget and make every pay check specifically go for priorities, but I always try to budget me in without guilt because everything I do for me may seem like a want more than a need, but it honestly, for me, helps me live better. Health wise, confidence wise, and keeping myself groomed and helping my appearance show the best version of me that I can possibly accomplish.

I decided to permanently make Valentines Day "Galentines Day"

I am celebrating myself and treating myself. Myself.

Sure, it feels great to have company or a friend to accompany you or to have a fun day just because, but when that doesn't happen for you, don't fret! Just do your thing! For me, I put a bill on the back burner just so that I could treat myself to some vegan Indian food. It was good! I deserved it! I am going to continue to spoil myself whenever I feel like it. Not just on Galentines Day and special occasions but whenever I feel like it and when I am able. I make my own money. I pay my own bills. I am responsible. I keep my rent paid. Here's to a brand new meaning in today's world. Put YOU first Why is it now that society is all of a sudden starting to focus on self care and mental health and making time for YOU! It should have been that way since day one! Gals-- Happy Galentines Day to you all and Happy Galentines Day to myself! That's right! I am wishing a Happy Galentines Day and depending on myself to lift my own spirits! That way, you have no reason to be disappointed! Sending some hearts and love out there for all my gals! Men, we have not forgotten about you! Let's be honest Valentines Day... Galentines Day... you get the point! Anywho, I don't have a man to include, so it's all about myself, and I am fine with that. I get whatever I want or need whenever I want and I love it! I hope to go to Minneapolis in April because I want to and I make my own money. Anyone care to accompany me? I do need a helper of sorts! I have someone that may be a maybe, but I don't want to bank on that! I am willing to pay for most of the trip if you can buy your plane ticket and food and help with gas in the van that I get. April 19th-22nd. Than again in June, but I don't know the exact dates yet, but share with anyone who you may think would love a mini trip and might be a good helper. Oh, and before I forget, because I am a foodie, I take pictures of my food, so I am going to share it below because this is what my solo galentines date consisted of. Here it is!

And with that, I am closing and sharing a warm smile with you all. Please be kind to your neighbor. Be a good human. Invest in more self love because you are WORTH IT (men and women!) Until we talk again in the next blog..

Galentines and Super Bowl in the same weekend... How awesome!

Enjoy!
