Happy Valentine's Day! Today, instead of doing a fashion shoot with a somewhat obnoxious-but-adorable mix of red and pink... I've decided to do something a little more personal. I want to honor all the adoooooorable couples in my life. Normally on Valentine's Day I tend to become incredibly hostile toward every couple I see, and then quickly go bipolar and try to over-decorate a stranger's car in pink streamers and teddy bears while singing love songs at the top of my lungs. I'm very weird, I know. But this year I've actually been thinking about the meaning of this cheesy and delightful holiday. It's not about buying gifts. It's not about being reminded you're single. It's about showing the people in your life you LOVE them!
Maybe I'm not an expert in [googly eyes, holding hands, I can't live without you] love, I mean sure I'm not married, but I do know a little something about the normal kind of love. The kind I have for all my friends and my amazing family. When I talked to my mom about what her and my dad would do for Valentine's Day she simply said, "Why would we do something? Every day is Valentine's Day for us." Gag, if you will, but I think it's sweet. Every day should be a day you appreciate someone and remind them how much you are crazy, over-the-moon, bonkers about them! So go out there and be lame. Buy a cheesy card and tell someone you love them. Decorate their car with too many paper hearts and balloons. It's okay to give in to this holiday just a little bit.
Happy Day of Love.
