Love Yourself with the White Stuff

how to treat yourself on valentines day

Valentines Day doesn’t have to be champagne, roses and mushy couples

Whether you’re single, taken or simply not interested. February the 14th is the perfect time to show yourself some love. This could be anything from treating yourself to a little gift, pamper session, or  by purchasing new clothes to show your favourite assets some love.

Personally, I am not one for over the top romantic gestures. Or the competition of ‘who can spend the most to show how much I love you’, that is often thrown around on Valentines Day. Instead, James and I prefer to write each other a heart felt card and spend the evening in with some good food and a bottle or red and / or  prosecco.

As Valentines Day falls on a Sunday this year, which is James’s ritual day for morning Golf and an evening of American Football with the boys. I will be spending my Valentines Day ‘loving myself’ (in a non rude pun way, of course!)

“I’m Going To Spend Valentines Day With My True Love….WINE!”

One of my favourite things to do on a Sunday, is to be selfish and take some “me-time”, away from my blogging, friend, family and work schedule. Where I simply lock myself in the bathroom and run a hot bath, gather a pile of pampering products and accompany this with a rather large glass of wine (or two)!

Here I will probably rest for a good two hours, either by popping on some relaxing music via Spotify through my Sonos speakers. Watching Netflix, or catching up on the latest videos from my go to Youtubers (if you are not already, you can subscribe to my channel here) whilst soaking in the tub. #cheekyplug

I find nothing more relaxing than filling the bathtub with bubbles, lighting a gorgeous scented candle and being transported to my own Seventh Heaven. Which is why the Look Lively gift box from The White Stuff is a perfect gift to show yourself some love this Valentines Day. Plus, it is only £25, so it won’t break those purse strings.

Look Lively Handcream

With the invigorating scent of mint, honey and berries this hand cream is a little lift in a tube.

Look Lively Candle

I am a HUGE fan of candles, especially for during down time and creating a relaxing ambience in the bathroom. Especially with the White Stuff’s Look Lively luscious scent (as outlined above).

Look Lively Hand & Body Wash

In a cute bottle that would take pride of place on the sink, I love how this body wash also doubles up as a hand wash. Meaning, your favourite scent is only a hand pump away!

Look Lively Soap

Perhaps the cutest packaging of all comes with the Look Lively Soap, which looks like a pretty parcel in blue bird paper and string. And at just £5 when bought separately, this is the perfect little gift, or present filler.

You can shop The White Stuff’s Valentines collection in full here, which comes complete with cute cards, little gifts and books to accompany their range of clothing and gift sets. For more inspiration see their Instagram here.

So, single, taken or simply not interested: How will you be showing some love to yourself this Valentines Day?
