love yourself first ritual

it’s valentine’s day!!! let’s not focus on what we are doing for other people to make them feel special, let’s talk about what we’ve done for ourselves.

Let’s start the year with a fun ritual that will give you permission to embrace the child within that wants to play but isn’t always allowed to do so.
