ALL ABOARD THE LOVE TRAIN
Okay, granted it’s a few days early, but if you have plans for the upcoming day of love, I’m here to provide some preparation tips and tricks well in advance.
Firstly, I’d like to start off by stating that if you don’t celebrate valentines, maybe you think it’s an overhyped holiday fuelled by consumerism, that’s perfectly okay. Or maybe, you are single and dread the loved-up nature of the whole occasion. Today’s entry is a reminder that valentines is a day to celebrate somebody you love: this doesn’t have to be romantic, it could be your mum, sister, friend or even yourself that you celebrate. And if you are in a cosy coupling, well that’s great too. Essentially, whatever your situation, everybody deserves a little bit of love in their life.
If date night is on the cards, maybe you’re heading out for a candle-lit dinner or a quiet games night in. Whatever you have in mind, I’m sure you want to be looking and feeling Bomb.com. So here is your reminder, 4 whole days in advance, to begin prepping. We don’t want to have left it too late, not had time to rinse off the developed tan, and the rain does it for us on the walk back (we’ve all been there). Nor do we want to realise that we haven’t removed the lip fuzz, until said significant other leans over and tries wiping it off…just me? Okay, never mind then. Unless facial hair is something you rock, in which case, whatever floats ya’ love boat. I seem to have gotten side tracked, where was I? Oh yes, prepping.
Beginning your tanning routine, if you have one, or at-home dermaplaning, to achieve glowy skin and effortless makeup application, are just examples of ways to alleviate stress on the day and are also a form of selfcare too. Feel free to check out our wheat straw dermaplaners on the ‘shop’ tab.
If you haven’t been living under a rock, you’ll know that Hailey Bieber lives in all of our heads’ rent free. She recently posted a ‘peaches’ inspired makeup look on Instagram, where she rocked flushed pink eye makeup. The subtle application almost gave a blush-like effect across the lid. She paired the look with a brown baby wing, pink lip, and her notorious glazed base. Perfect for valentines as it is a subtle and effortless way of doing something different to your everyday routine, without anything too dramatic.
If this year, you have given up trying to conform to the pressures of February 14th and have instead swapped the V in valentine for a G, and swapped romance for having a cracking night with the girls, then more power to ya! Galantines dinner parties have fiercely taken over TikTok and Instagram like Lizzo at the Oscars and we are absolutely here for it. Take a Look at the various ways in which women have been celebrating Galantines by spending quality time with each other.
However you choose to spend the fourteenth, we hope you have a lovely day!
