valentine's confession.

Fact you may not know about me: I am obsessed with hearts.

Show me almost anything with hearts on it or heart-shaped and I will probably squeal. Is it attractive? No, but that's me. Haha. And although I think Valentine's day has been twisted into a commercial holiday, I love that there's a day dedicated to love. Love of all kinds. Friend love. Puppy love. Romantic love. Just love. Despite my cynicism about marriage (ask me about that another time), I am such a cheesy, hopeless romantic. So in honor of Valentine's day coming up, I figured I'd share some pretty heart things that I love. Yes, love.

My (almost) favorite t-shirt (H&M).

My hanging paper heart art.

This gorgeous chair.

 A handmade ring I bought last summer. It never leaves my hand.

This style of heart necklace.

These glasses from ClearlyContacts. I'm pretty sure I'm buying these, even if I only wear them around the house. Maybe not in this color, but they have tons to choose from. I mean, come on, they have hearts on the sides, how can I resist? Seriously.

What do you think? Do you love Valentine's Day or hate it? Stay home watching chick flicks and pig out on chocolate?

I personally love all of the heart shaped things on sale a few days later. I've always said that's my favorite part of the "holiday"... Haha. We don't really do anything extravagant, just give each other a card & go out for dinner....

More love, please.

 I fell in love with this print when I first saw it. It sums up so perfectly what I need in my life. When I neglect these things and place more importance on other things I feel tired, anxious. Bored. But of course when I remember to focus on the simple things, the things that make me happy, I feel more like me. Happier, renewed.

Centered.

The only thing the list is missing is chocolate. More chocolate. 

 And dog kisses, but I guess that goes without saying.

The spirit of this print has made me slow down. That's why it's been a bit quiet around here lately. I've been spending more time with my dog, more time with D and more time figuring out what the bleep i'm doing with my life. But that's another post story altogether.

I promise I'll be back soon to post something fun. I have a couple crafts I'm finishing up and my Halloween costume to show you! It involves a lot of black, white face makeup and my black jazz shoes. Any guesses? What are you being? Or are you one of those people who hate dressing up? Tell me. I wanna know!
