On Romance🌹

A note to those who believe in love, but won’t put their life on hold for it!

Whether you’re celebrating this time of year with your other half or not, you deserve all the love in the world. Love can be wonderfully complicated, and perhaps that’s part of its magic. Besides, who said romance requires a plus one? Here are a few of my favourite ways to enjoy a day of romance.

Watch ‘10 things I hate about you’!

We love it because it’s not your usual romantic movie where you already know, from the very first scene, exactly who is going to fall in love with whom. 10 Things I Hate About You feels far more relatable. Romance is only reciprocated once a little trust has been gained. And what’s more romantic than not liking each other until the end of the movie?

Listen To ‘Flowers’ 🌹

There’s something powerful about singing along to Flowers by Miley Cyrus. I had this song on repeat when it first came out! It became something of an anthem for self-love. And yes, Miley deserved a Grammy for it!

Read ‘Conversations on love’ by Natasha Lunn!

Heartbreak. Loss. Grief and Love. A book that has it all covered on modern love and it will make you understand why things with that ex-lover didn’t work out. Consider this bestseller an alternative relationship therapist. We all need one.

Celebrate with your girlfriends

Book your favourite restaurant and invite your girlfriends. Have a GalValentine and order multiple pasta dishes, because they’re delicious and will make you feel good. Have your favourite dessert, or get your favourite ice cream. I recommend salted caramel. So yum!

Journal on your Day of Romance!

Put on some music, grab your journal and let your thoughts wander. What does romance mean to you? Who has brought a spark into your life? What makes your heart skip a beat? And what kind of love do you want to celebrate in your life?

Finally, remember that it’s not what we get out of life, but what we put into it. Keep showing up and sharing your heart with the world.

Happy love day,

xx Jami ❤️
