Valentine’s Day is often an opportunity to please your significant other… when you have one. But rather than feeling down when single or only making an effort to look good once a year, why not seize this occasion to take care of the most important person in our life \u2013 the one we learn to love over the years: ourselves?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it’s the perfect time to talk about love. Love for a partner or a dear one, of course, but also self-love, or self-love<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Far from being selfish, cultivating self-love is essential to our well-being. The more we love and respect ourselves, the more positivity and love we attract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So whether you’re in a relationship or not, here\u2019s a wellness routine<\/em> to adopt for a Valentine’s Day<\/strong> that is, of course, all about love!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8AM-10AM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The day begins with rituals that you wouldn\u2019t miss for anything in the world. And if you do, I recommend adopting them every day, even if it\u2019s just to dedicate a few minutes to each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a coffee…before checking your smartphone<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is a habit I picked up a few months ago, and I enjoy my morning coffee 100% while watching the day break from my porch. I don’t have a big house or much time for myself, but I grant myself this moment in the morning to wake up and think positively about my day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it tempting to check your phone in the morning? At first, yes, I won\u2019t lie to you. But quite quickly, you enjoy your coffee in peace, and especially without stumbling upon bad news on Instagram or checking your bank account, for those who worry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tidy Up<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We agree, there are more exciting activities… yet, nothing beats starting the day in a clean and tidy environment<\/strong>. We\u2019re not talking about doing a deep clean or turning into Marie Kondo<\/a>, but just tidying up, wiping the tables, adding incense or candles to create a lovely cozy and hygge atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do a Complete Skincare Routine<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re awake and, I hope, relaxed? Let\u2019s move on to the skincare<\/em> for an immersion in self-love<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start with a shower or a bath. If you have a bathtub, don\u2019t hesitate to add a few drops (maximum 10) of true lavender oil to your bath. Known for its calming and antibacterial properties, lavender soothes and, in small doses, helps the skin heal and regenerate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essential oils are wonderful tools for beauty and wellness care, but they should be used with caution. Remember to respect the dosages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
