Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! This means it is time to start thinking about what you are going wear, how you are celebrating the day of love, and what to get the special guy in your life. Do you and your significant other typically exchange gifts? I would honestly be fine with just flowers and doing something special with each other, but if he wanted to get me something I would not protest. If the two of you do exchange gifts I gathered a few ideas for you; high-priced to affordable and something in-between.

“Be bold. Be brave. Be courageous”

Happy Friday!! The number of dance parties I had by myself in my apartment this week might be a world record. Can’t stop, won’t stop dancing. It doesn’t matter what song it is, I just want to dance. Even sitting in the subway I was tap dancing and snapping my fingers…. and not a single person gave me money for being a subway performer, rude. Although I am always in the mood to dance, this week I just got this feeling in my body so I dance, dance, dance, dance.

When we are little we are taught that bragging is not appropriate. It’s a sign of snobbery and narcissism. To talk about how many Chanel bags you have, how many pushups you can do, or how much money you make, I agree, is not wanted. But there are some forms of bragging I do encourage:  celebrating yourself and celebrating your friends. Right now we are living in a society of self love, self promotion, filtered pictures, and an open platform to speak your mind. I am very much in the forefront of self love and self care. It’s vital to your health and well-being. But I think we need to go beyond self love and show love of others by celebrating your friends accomplishments.

Happy Friday!! What a busy, fun week it was! Last weekend I went home to Ohio to celebrate my niece’s 1st birthday. The majority of my family was there and a few of my sister and brother-in-law’s friends. It was a nice party! My niece had cake for the first time and ended up running around screaming; I laughed, my sister recorded it on her phone, my mom was shushing her to calm down, and my dad jokingly screamed back at her. Good times. Besides the celebration I went to see The Greatest Showman with my sister and brother-in-law– SO GOOD!! Every syncopated detail was perfect, the dancing and music was fantastic, it was all truly amazing! I now have the soundtrack on repeat. It was also nice to see Zac Efron sing and dance without being the only one over 20 with out a kid in the theater…. #highschoolmusicalforever.
