Hey friends, happy Monday! How did the weekend treat you? For all of you east coast dwellers out there, did you survive Jonas without succumbing to cabin fever and going stir crazy?
We had a relatively low-key weekend. I finally caught one of Harper’s tennis matches and my youngest brother, Camden, had a sleepover with us on Friday night. Saturday we spent the day at the College Basketball Experience where I currently hold the record for most number of free throws in 60 seconds (and as a result, my arm feels like it could fall off today)! We refueled with pizza in Westport before dropping Cam off with my Dad and heading over to our friend’s later that night.
I’m a big proponent of treating yourself every once in a while (to me, from me, if you will) and there’s no better time to practice some self-love in the form of retail therapy than right now. A luxe pair of earrings, comfy pajamas and my favorite mimosa fragrance candle are at the top of my list, and I can’t recommend the bkr water bottle, TRUFFLE pouch or this Louis Vuitton coin purse enough!
I’m not a huge fan of spending money on cards from the Hallmark section as I’d much rather whip something up myself, but for these cheeky Etsy Valentine’s Day cards, I’ll make an exception!
Not one to fight the crowds, Pete and I typically pick up a heart-shaped pizza, pop in a movie and indulge on the couch for Valentine’s Day. I love that it’s become our little tradition (5 years and counting!) and there aren’t any high expectations, which generally lead to being let down if things don’t go just as planned.
I’m hoping to round up my girlfriends for a little Galentine’s Day dinner this year, too! We tried to get something put together last year, but if my memory serves me right, we had to reschedule because of the weather and then life happened and we weren’t able to sync our schedules up a second time around – crazy how that happens, right?
Do you have anything fun planned for Valentine’s Day?

So many cute things on here to treat yo self with! And I agree…low key Valentine’s day plans are the best!
P.S. Loved your Snapchats this weekend filled with all the fun you had with your siblings!
They truly are! Awww, I wish I could bottle that time up with them. They’re so much fun!
Great rounup! That pillow is so fun 🙂
Let me get this right – you hold the record for most free throws in 60 seconds!? How many did you make!!? That’s amazing! I love all of the above and I really think I’m going to treat myself to a nice pair of PJ’s this Vday! 🙂

Sure do! I made 17 of them haha. Pete and Camden couldn’t believe it 😉
Ummm…..I want all these things. I think I’ll have to be my own valentine this year though, because I don’t think my boyfriend will take me seriously if I send him this link and request “All of it”. Haha!
Hahah I doubt Pete would take me seriously either. But we can treat ourselves! 😉
Yes to the cabin fever! It was fun being snowed in for a few days but by Saturday I was getting stir crazy and did way too much online shopping– ha! I love all of these picks and how cute is that pj set?!
Hope you have a wonderful day // http://lifeplusbe.com/
I agree, there’s only so much online shopping you can do before you’re ready to get out and about! 🙂
I like your low-key Valentine’s Day approach! Enjoy your first Valentine’s day as an engaged couple!! 🙂
Thank you so much, Joyce!
After reading about and seeing Truffle pouches everywhere I think it’s time I finally ordered one! Happy Monday!
You do! They’re so easy to toss into a bigger bag 🙂
I love the idea of a Galentines Dinner. I am in college and right now a big group of us are single so we were thinking about doing something along those lines to celebrate. I am right there with you, I avoid Hallmark but love finding cute cards on Etsy! It is always just so much better to support a small business and often the cards on Etsy are a lot cuter and more fun!
