I love Valentine's Day. I loved making + addressing valentines as a child, and I love spreading + celebrating love today. I feel that the simplest acts communicate warm feelings best. Taking the time to focus on love + appreciation is really all it takes. Handmade love notes, hugs + maybe a little something sweet to eat qualifies as a celebration to me.

A few more ways to celebrate:

Valentines Day can be a beautiful reminder to offer ourselves a little self-love. Choose an organic cotton first layer from the drawer + take the time to moisturize, stretch + smile. 

Friendship is the best part of love. Share a phone call, a meal or a movie with a favorite friend...or three. 

Make valentines...write love notes (check the recycling + scrap fabric bins for supplies).

Make heart-shaped pizza + popcorn with the little ones + open all those valentines together. 

​Make a playlist to share.

Head out to a locally owned, farm-to-table restaurant or make dinner together at home.

Give some locally roasted, bulk, fair-trade coffee or a bar of fair-trade chocolate.

If flowers or jewelry is involved, make it fair-trade or vintage.

Share an unhurried hand or foot massage with a little homemade, scented oil.

Hold hands. Give + receive long hugs.

By choosing handmade, low-waste, fair-trade, local, organic, or vintage tokens, we spread love to farmers, neighbors, the the planet as well.

Lots of love to you, my friends,
Jane
