Happy Friday everyone and very happy Valentine’s Day to you all! I hope you’re showing or receiving some love today, or even better, showing AND receiving some love. It can be from your partner, friends, family or even pets! Heck, it can even be self love. Why shouldn’t we love ourselves and treat ourselves now and again!?

I used to think the day was a lot of nonsense, especially when it becomes so overhyped by the media and society. Restaurants put their prices up, retailers try to flog all their over the top and corny merchandise and people feel under pressure to show their love with grand gestures and extravagant gifts. Shouldn’t we be celebrating love every day? Do we need an abundance of gifts to show our affection?

I think showing little moments of affection every now and again is great, even simply saying ‘I love you’ 🫶🏽. I do, however, appreciate Valentine’s Day and think it is a great opportunity to stop and think about what’s important and celebrating that love you have with your partner, friends, family etc, especially if the chaos of life has taken over.

In addition, I think the world could do with a little more love right now! Enjoy your day everyone, please let me know if you have any exciting plans. I will look forward to a relaxing evening tonight with my partner and maybe some chocolate with a cup of tea. Very rock n roll!!!
