Whoever said Valentine’s Day was a day meant only to celebrate couples clearly never enjoyed their own company. With this day of love right around the corner, it’s the perfect occasion to show yourself some love. If you’re like me, I pick a few days each year when I decide to indulge myself instead of waiting around for my significant other to pamper me. It’s empowering and keeps me motivated and reminds me to put my own needs first. Now while you can definitely save up for that Gucci bag and those Louboutin shoes, here’s a comprehensive list of everything you need in beauty and skincare. Why not promise yourself to look, feel and smell like your very best for the rest of the year?
