Thoughtful Self Love Gifting

We know Valentines as a day of romance and love, usually celebrated commercially buying a card from the shop, showering our loved ones with presents or maybe cooking a special meal.

Couples themselves may have a love/hate relationship with Valentines after perhaps experiencing a overpriced and packed restaurant or lacklustre bunch of petrol garage flowers.

For some singles Valentines can be an unwelcome reminder of their unfulfilled hopes at that point in time.

All round it can leave us feeling pretty flat!

St Valentines traditionally was a feast day that honoured martyrs and was also a celebration of spring and of fertility.  It’s celebrated in many countries still today, sometime with different dates.

A meaningful Valentines

If you find Valentines a waste of time, lack-lustre or even triggering here’s our tips on bring more meaning to the day.

Focus on self love

Yep, we hear this ALL the time.

But are we actually doing it? What does it even look like?

For us it’s a slowing down to acknowledge, feel and then process emotions.

That could look like a chat with a friend, a journalling session or a simple witnessing of big feelings such as anger, hurt or sadness with an inquisitive mind.

We love to do this with a cup of ceremonial grade cacao because this helps us open our heart due to it’s high levels of theobromine, which is a compound that boosts your mood and phenylethlamine (PEA) which is a chemical that we associate with the feeling of love.

It helps you to create a beautiful sacred ritual of doing the deeper work in a loving way.
