Translates to: I love myself.

*found on google

Just because you are alone on Valentine's Day doesn't mean you have to be alone. So this Valentine's Day take time to focus on yourself. Give yourself a spa day or relax and watch chick flicks with a bottle of wine or champagne, a box of chocolates, maybe some strawberries dipped in chocolate, and a box of tissues... you know for when the tears start during those soppy movies. Or grab a couple or a group of girlfriends, go out and celebrate your friendship. 

I have never really celebrated Valentine's Day even when I had someone to spend it with because I never thought of it as an important holiday. Why do I need a day to show/tell the person I'm with that I love them? I think that should be everyday. I will agree it is nice to go all out once in awhile and it is nice to recognize the holiday with a card or a small token of love, but me personally I never found this day to be a big deal. It is just all too much.

I found this photo on google and I thought it to be perfect for this post. It really is true. If you don't know how to love yourself how can you begin to love another person?! Whoever made this did a beautiful job.

This year I am spending it by myself house sitting with two big pups... so I guess I really won't be alone. At the beginning of the year I said I was making 2015 all about me. Instead of wishing I had someone to spend Valentine's Day with I'm celebrating ME with a bubble bath including a bubble bar from Lush, a bottle of pink bubbly, 2 boxes of Ferrero Rocher, a couple of chick flicks and some diy masks/scrubs I whipped up. (I will share those with you later *wink*)  Sounds like a pretty good Valentine's Day to me.

All my goodies waiting to be devoured!!

Time to put on a movie and hop on in!!

These 2 were my dates for the evening *grin*

So this Valentine's Day if you are feeling down about not having a significant other to spend it with, Love yourself because YOU are beautiful inside and out. Never let anyone tell you different. And if they do tell them to piss off. Take time for yourself, unwind, and be happy. Do not let some holiday make you question yourself. If you think there is no one out there that loves you remember you have the love of your friends and family. There is someone out there who loves you. And remember I don't even know you and I think you are beautiful and I love you.

Apartment Hunting: Part 3

As I said in my last post I have finally found a place to live... yippy! I have been there almost two weeks now and I am loving it. I am slowly making the place my own but you will have to wait and see until it is all finished.

This post is to give you a tour of the inside of my place before I moved everything in. So grab a cup of whatever you enjoy, my choice is a big glass of water, and let's go...


Follow me through my front door

I love the brick and big windows of my place. Even though this place is little (as you will see in a minute) these big windows let in so much light that I rarely use the lights inside during the day time. I think natural light is a beautiful thing and one of God's many great wonders so I like to let in the light and just enjoy it. Okay enough talking let's head inside shall we

Living room and

dining area.

This is my tiny little kitchen with a big refrigerator that is just perfect for me. 

Now onto my bedroom. This is considered a studio apartment, so I do not have a door to my bedroom which I like. There is a curtain rod up because I am going to hang long curtains in place of a door.

That ugly, low hanging fan that wobbled when on high that I thought would chop my head off and could only be used on low has recently been replaced.

It is actually a nice size room and is coming along nicely!!

Down the hall to the right is my sink and mirror and then on the left is the bathroom with the shower and toilet.

and then past the bathroom to the door at the end of the hall is my beautiful closet...

That I have filled with all of my clothes, shoes, and random things. I sometimes just stand in the doorway and stare at it because I haven't had a walk-in closet since I was little and there is just so much space I love it!

Well the tour has come to an end I hope you enjoyed! Now to leave you with pictures of the views from my front door.

I love my little patio. I like going out there to sit and read a good book.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

*My Thoughts*
I love having my own place to call my own that is all mine.
It is slowly coming along.
Thank you all for coming along on this tour with me. I have enjoyed showing you my empty place but I cannot wait to show you the finished product. :)
