What ACTUALLY Matter - Valentine’s Day 💖♥️

As we’re getting closer to the end of this series, I wanted to talk about what really matters.

We covered outfits (for men and women — c’mon inclusivity 😜), makeup, dates, self-love, restaurants (local and abroad, don’t play with me 😏), Galentine’s and more… but none of that means anything if you don’t feel valued.

Valentine’s Day isn’t about the reservation. It’s about how others make you feel — and how you make yourself feel.

And I can’t believe I actually committed to this 15-day challenge. I very much wanted to quit some days… but I told my brain that wasn’t an option 😙💗

Have a life that doesn’t revolve around him. A passionate woman with hobbies, routines, self-care, and goals? Men become obsessed with that energy. Laugh at his jokes but only the funny ones. He’ll try harder. Trust me. #femininity #femininehealing #GirlTalk #lemon8challenge #rel

Valentine’s Day used to make me feel like shit. Not because I was single. Not because I didn’t have anyone to love me. But because I didn’t like myself. During my first marriage, I was lying, to myself and to everyone else, about who I was. Pretending to be someone I wasn’t. Playing a role
