AllofuscouldfindsomethingtogiveourselvesthisValentine's Day, I think, wouldbesocooltobeabletojustspend a littlebitoftimeormoneyonourselvesbecausethere's lotsofdealsgoingonrightnow, andalsoit's justkindof a timethatpeacefulandit's darkoutsideandstuff.
Soit's greattimetojustrelaxanddo a littlebitofselfcareIndulge.
Butwhat I'm strugglingwithislike, I wanttocallitwhattogiveyourselfforValentine's Day.
But I figurethatwhatgiftyourselfwouldbesomethingthatpeoplearesayingnowmore I don't know.
I justfeellikeeveryone's usingthewordgiftas a verb, anditjustreallybothersme.
Butanyways, I don't know, maybethat's justme.
Maybeyoufeelthesameway, buthere's just a listthat I puttogetherofdifferentthingsthatyoucould.
D'oh!
Thefirstthingthatwouldbesofulltogiveyourselfis a littlebitofgraceandsecuritywhenitcomestofinancialthings.
Andwhat I meanbythatismaybeyou'vegot, ah, fewextrabuckslyingaroundforGIFts.
Andsoonethingthatyoucoulddoisjustputthatintosavings, maybepayoff a littlebitofdebt.
Andthenthatwouldbe a waytoreallygiveyourselfsomethingreallywelldeservedand, youknow, awesome, likeanexcusetodosomethingfinancially.
It's just a giftforyourself.
So I justwanttojuststartoffwiththattip, whichis, youknow, theonlyonethatwon't beanactualphysicalthing.
Next, I wouldlookatdifferentthingsthatwouldbring a reallygreatsentintoyourlife.
So a lotofValentine's Daygiftinvolvedcents, right?
Soyou'vegotflowers.
Youcouldgetflowersfromthegrocerystore.
I dothatallthetime, especiallylikespringsummer.
I lovetobeabletofillmyhomewithflowersandflowerscouldbeexpensive, butatthegrocerystore, youcanfind a lotmorereasonable, anditcanreallymakeyourspacejustfeelsomuchbetter.
I knowrosesareat a premiumrightnow, but, likethere's tonsofothertypesofflowersouttherethatyoucouldgetthatjustbring a littlebitofsenseintoyourlifeandVincentwhenever.
But I dothinkthatflowerswouldbe a greatoptionaswellascandles.
Sohavingsilkrightonmyeyeshelpsme a lot, too, becausenotonlyisitkeepingmefromhavinglikemorewrinkles, butthenitalsohelpsmelike, notfrown.
Somuch I findthatwell, I don't knowthispersonally, butthattellsmethat I foundnicelikeand I'm like, Whyam I gettingwrinklesarehereislike, Well, whenyousleep, youknow, kindlikethat.
And I thinkit's because I amsosensitivetolightthat I amjust I mustbeliketryingtokeepoutlight, moresoby, like, frowningandkeepingmyeyesclosed.
Soif I have a maskon, that's gonnahelpme a lottonothavethosewrinkles.
It's just a niceoptiontowheneveryouhave a lovely I amasked.
EuniceDrifttosleep.
Andwhat a greatgifttogiveyourself.
Lately, I'vebeentalking a lotaboutslippersonmychannel.
Theonethinginparticularthat I haveonmywishlististhetrue V essentialoildiffuser.
I thinkthatthiswouldbe a reallygreatthingtoehaveinmyhomesthatmyhome's alwayssmellinggood, anditjustlookslike a pieceofsculpture, likeitlookslike a niceface.

Youknow a lotofdiffusersthatpeoplehave, likeespecially I'vegotone.
That's a humidifierthat I put a littlebitofdropsin, anditjustlookslike a humidifier.
Itdoesn't lookfancy.
Andsoif I wannahavethisaspartofmyhome, likepermanently, I thinktheywouldbereallynicetobeabletojusthavesomethingthatlooksgreat.
Ithas, like, formandfunction.
Sohavethatonmylist.
Anotherthingthat I thinkwouldbesomuchfuntobeabletoputinyourhomesomethingnewandfreshis a houseplant, asyouguyscansee.
Like I lovehouseplans a lot.
I thinkthatwhen I addedhouseplantstomyhome, itjustmademywholehouselookmuchmorelikelivelyandhonestlymorehomey.
I feellikeitmademe a littlebitlessseasonallydepressed, and I alsojustthinkthatit's funtobeabletohavethat, youknow, exchangeofgasesbetweenmeandmyplantslikeSakslookingatmereallyweirdrightnow, anotherthingyoucandowithyourhouseplantisalsoget a nicepotsothatitreallymakesitfeelmorelike a additiontoyourhome.
I actuallyprefertohave, like, theterracottapots, butthere's a fewthat I foundonlikeWestElmthat I absolutelylove.
Andalso, if I findanyothergoodrecommendationsforpotsforhouseplans, I'llputhimdowninthedescriptionanotherprettyaffordablegiftthatyoucouldgiveyourselfforValentine's Day, especiallybecauseit's wintertime.
I lovetohave a heatpadthat I canjustputinthemicrowaveformenand 1/2 andthenputinthebottomofmybedsothatmyfeetareniceandwarm.
I justthinkthatthat's likethebestfeelingintheworldwhen I don't have a coldbedinthemiddleofwinter.
Instead, I havejust a nice, warmbed.
I justthinkthatthatislovelyandreallyhelpsmejustkindofdriftoffandfeelmorecomfortableandrelaxed.
SomynightlyroutinelatelyhasbeengoheatonMyheaphadputthatinthebottomofmybedandthen I gogetreadyanddolikeallofmymakeupremovalanddoallthatstuff.
Sothat's kindofhow I approachbedtimethesedays, whenit's niceandcoldoutsideand I justwanttobecozyinside.
Andthen I'vegot, like, mycandlesstillgoing.
Andthen I justread a book.
Andlastly, I have a fewideasforthingsthatareclothingthatyoucouldgetthistimeofyearforyourself.
So I'm doingthatfor 365 days, workingout 20 minutes a day, evenifit's gentleyoga.
I havereallyusedmyfitnessclothing a lotandsoadding a newlikesportsbroughttoyourcollection, orevenlike a newpairofleggings, maybesomesocksor a newpairofrunningshoes.
I'm surethatweallhavesomethingonourwishlistthatwejustreallyarelookingatandwantingreallybadly, sothatmightbe a pursethatyou'vehadyoureyeonfor a while.
Maybe a reallynicepairofshoes, maybe a pairofpantsthatwas a littlebitlessthanbudgetfriendly, butsomethingthatyou'vebeenwantingfor a longtimethatcouldmake a bigdifferenceinyourwardrobe.
Thismightbe a greatopportunitytodothatandhaveanexcusetogetthatforyourself.
Andfinally, mylastpieceofValentine's DayforyourselfIdeasis a book I lovetoreadfictionbooksatnightbeforebed.
