Valentine’s Day Pitfalls To Avoid



Valentine's Day is a day to celebrate love and affection, but it can also be a time of stress and disappointment if things don't go as planned. 


To help ensure that your Valentine's Day is a success, here are some pitfalls to avoid:


1. Not planning ahead:

Waiting until the last minute to make reservations or buy gifts can lead to disappointment and stress. Plan ahead to ensure that you have everything you need for a perfect day.


2. Setting unrealistic expectations: 

Valentine's Day is a special day, but it's not always possible to create a perfect, fairy-tale scenario. Be realistic and don't set yourself up for disappointment by expecting too much.


3. Being too cliché:

While it's nice to do something traditional like a fancy dinner or a bouquet of flowers, it's important to remember that your partner may appreciate something more unique and personalised. Think about their interests and hobbies and plan something that they would truly enjoy.


4. Comparing your relationship to others: 

It's easy to get caught up in the hype of Valentine's Day and start comparing your relationship to others. Remember that every relationship is different and what works for one couple may not work for another.


5. Putting too much pressure on the day:

Valentine's Day is just one day out of the year and it shouldn't be the only time you show your love and affection for your partner. Avoid putting too much pressure on the day and remember that the most important thing is to make sure your partner knows that you love and appreciate them all year round.


6. Forgetting to communicate: 

Communication is key in any relationship, and this is especially true on Valentine's Day. Make sure to talk to your partner about your plans and expectations, and be open and honest with each other.


7. Neglecting your own needs:

It's easy to get caught up in trying to please your partner on Valentine's Day, but it's important to remember to take care of yourself as well. Make sure to schedule in some self-care activities such as a manicure, relaxing bath or a solo movie night.


Valentine's Day can be a special and enjoyable occasion for couples to show their love and affection for each other, but it's important to keep things simple, personal and most importantly to communicate with your partner and prioritising your own needs.


 Happy Valentine's Day!

  What is Self-Care? The term self-care is actually self-explanatory and has everything and anything to do with keeping yourself healthy - physically, mentally, and spiritually.  Practicing self-care does not mean you are choosing yourself over your loved ones. It means that you are simply being mindful of your own needs, so you are better able to support the people you care about. When you take care of yourself, you are better able to meet the needs of others. Self-care comes in a variety of forms. It does not require an elaborate plan; self-care can be as simple as taking a deep breath when you notice you are becoming stressed.

Hair Growth Tips

Dreaming of long healthy hair? Stop dreaming and follow these 4 simple tips! 1 Hair Care Routine First things first; your routine is very important. This one is easy because you're already doing most of it. After a refreshing bath/shower and getting ready for your day, before you're about to detangle and start styling your hair, do a 10 min scalp massage to increase blood flow to your scalp. This strengthens the cells of your hair follicles, promotes hair growth, helps transfer natural hair sebum to the rest of the hair, and helps to promote a healthy scalp. Only wash your hair once a week. This prevents you from stripping your hair's natural protective oils. Go all out for your hair and set a hair date once every week to take extra special care of your hair. Sunday's are dedicated to my hair when I do a hot oil treatment with my Hair Glow Serum or a banana mask once a month before I wash and condition. 2. No Chemicals! Say no to chemicals like relaxers, perm lotions...
