Valentines SELF LOVE List!

February 10, 2018

We know, we know- Valentines Day is all about celebrating love and lovers and romance! And that’s all fantastic if you are married or in a relationship. But let’s face it-sometimes the V- day  build up leads to… disappointment!

Don’t get us wrong- feel free to share this list with your significant other (if you have one), but we thought we might do something a slightly different this year for Valentines. Why not treat YO SELF and show that wonderful person you are a little self love! Go ahead, get crazy! We wont tell!

With that in mind, here are some of our favorite things to splurge on for ourselves when we are in need of a little pick me up! Happy Valentines Day, Loves!

  1. Jillian Harris x Melanie Auld Heart Necklace (shown with a few additional charms) sold out online but available in Gold and Black at Refinery Clothing Co.
  2. Blue Tansy Face Mask by Herbivore Botanicals Available at Sephora. Mackenzie SWEARS by this- it is her go to!
  3. Rose Quartz Face Roller by Pura Botanicals. Available online , their mini store in RAAS (in West Edmonton Mall), or at their 124 Street Studio (which is open on Thursdays). Richelle finally tried this and is OBSESSED. Gem stone face rollers help to minimize fine lines and wrinkles, increase circulation, and reduce puffiness. Who doesn’t need this in their life?!
  4. Adorable Matching Bangle set from Refinery Clothing Co. Perfect for mommy and me matching! (Can you tell Richelle is excited about possibly having a daughter soon?!)
  5. Heart Explosion mug from Starbucks- perfect for that much needed Caffeine fix!
  6. The Sweetest Heart Sweater by one of our all time favorite clothing lines, Show Me Your Mumu! Available at Red Ribbon Boutique.
  7. Gorgeous and Mouthwatering Rose Petal- Topped Valentines Studio Chocolates by our beloved Melt Confections. These beauties will be available at the Community pop- up at Kingsway Mall today, February 11, 9:30- 6 PM and Tomorrow February 12, 11- 5 PM as well as at the Makers Keep!

AND- in the name of Love- we want to GIVE you guys some of our faves! Up for grabs are a box of amazing Valentines themed Studio Chocolates from MELT, a Blue Tansy Face mask by Herbivore Botanicals, a $50 GC to Starbucks and this adorable bangle set from Refinery Clothing Co.

Hey Alberta! I’m so excited to share with you th Hey Alberta! I’m so excited to share with you that I’m partnering with @ATBFinancial on a super fun and incredible new campaign for mental health, ATB Up! ATB Up is a series of simple social challenges inspiring us all to get up to give back! From March 1 to 12, a new challenge will be rolled out each weekday—so get ready to pose with your bubble, share some good vibes, and move your body for a great cause! 

No spoilers, but on March 11th my challenge to you will involve snapping or creating some funny pics- so brush up on those iphone photography skills!! 

The more challenges you complete and share using the hashtag #ATBUp, the more you’ll give back from the comfort of your casa! Every time an Albertan posts or shares a challenge with the hashtag #ATBUp, ATB will donate one dollar to @mentalhealthab. How incredible is that?!?

So you’ll feel good, while you’re doing good for other Albertans, and even have the chance to win prizes! Join me March 1 to 12! Let’s have some fun—and get up to give back with ATB Up!

I know a Girl, she puts the COLOR inside of my wor I know a Girl, she puts the COLOR inside of my world ✨

...and that’s an understatement! To know Frankie is to Love her! Truly!

This little lady brings so much joy, laughter and sweetness to everything and everyone around her. Which is a very good thing - considering she prefers to rise before the sun, has a serious stubborn streak and is a tiny tornado always leaving a trail of crumbs in her wake! 🤪

In all seriousness, she is such a bright light in our lives, and has taught me more in the last three years than I ever thought possible. I am grateful to God everyday that He chose me to be her mama. 🤍 

Happy T H I R D Birthday my love, may you never change!
