A day for all kinds of love

February 14th, 2012 at 5:59 pm.

I’ve never been big on Valentine’s day.

Today however has been a day for radical self-love. I had a lovely breakfast, went to the city centre in Antwerp to buy some books, bought myself a lovely organic lunch and a fab slice of cheesecake. I also bought two cute necklaces at Forever 21. What? They were ridiculously cheap and I couldn’t choose between the two colours. Your argument is invalid.

It also helps that I have awesome friends. Julie sent me a dalek valentine. Yes, you read that correctly: she totally suckered me into Valentine’s day with my weakness for Doctor Who.

Also I am a very practical girl and a lover of chocolate: tomorrow all of the left-over heart chocolate will totally be discounted. Double score for the single chocolate-loving girl!

So I’ll leave you now with a couple of links to my favourite posts for a day like this:

These are the ways you can love yourself, a wonderful post by Chelsea (yes, it’s the simple things that do really matter).
How to show your friends you love them, Sarah Von’s wonderful guest post on being thoughtful for your friends.
Make love to your life, a great post by Sam that was a bit my guide for today.
The playgirl’s guide to radical self-love, a tag at the lovely Gala Darling’s blog all about self-love though actually her whole blog is an ode to self-love. I started my Radical Self-Love Bible last week together with Julie. I’m at n°67 of my 100 things I love about myself. Progress is being made.

Have a wonderful day!

Self-Love is a good thing to play with.

  It is. As the quote goes: how are you going to love anyone else if you can’t love yourself.

    Hmm, very wise! I’ll put it to my quote list.

  There will be a picture soon. It’s the single metal feather necklace both in white and blue-green. I love it.

  You’re more than welcome. If you have knowledge and cool stuff it’s kinda even cooler to share it eh.
