Valentine’s Day reminds us to celebrate love, but we often overlook the important relationship we have with ourselves. This year, while you’re picking out treats and flowers for others, choose yourself too. It isn’t selfish, it’s essential. Here are five simple self-care ideas paired with cozy winter fragrances to make the day extra special.
1. Create your dream charcuterie board (aka “girl dinner”)
Pair with: White Oak Woodland
Build a snack board filled with the things you love. Sharp cheddar, candied almonds, sweet grapes and toasted brioche bites (or maybe it’s squeezy cheese and animal crackers). Choose whatever makes your soul sing and your taste buds rejoice!
White Oak Woodland turns an indulgent snack board into a full experience with notes of plum, sandalwood and white oak.
2. Host yourself for movie night
Pair with: Fluffy Fleece
Cue up a movie you’ve been dying to watch, or that comfort flick you’ve already seen 25 times. Make some popcorn, pour a dish of candy, then claim the couch command center and the remote. Press play and enjoy 90 minutes of escape.
Fluffy Fleece is like the coziest movie night blanket with notes black currant, musk and heliotrope.
3. Write love notes (including one to yourself)
Pair with: Amber & Peach
Pen heartfelt notes to the people who make your world brighter. Let your bestie know why they’re incredible. Thank your brother for the recent pep talk. Then write a note to yourself. List three things you genuinely appreciate about who you are. It might feel awkward at first, but you deserve your own consideration and kindness.
Amber & Peach creates an atmosphere for gentle reflection with notes of honeyed peaches, golden amber and vanilla.
4. Arrange a bouquet of flowers just for you
Pair with: Old-Fashioned Evening
It’s perfectly fine to give yourself flowers. Pick blooms that speak to you: grocery store tulips, florist’s roses or cheerful greenhouse daisies. Arrange them with lush greens in your favorite vase and place them in a prominent place. Feel your spirits rise when see how you look after yourself.
Old-Fashioned Evening is like stumbling upon an unexpected winter delight with notes of sandalwood, vanilla orchid and winter cherry.
5. Take a nap
Pair with: Jammy Time
Give yourself permission for a guilt-free afternoon snooze. Turn off the “I should be doing something productive” thoughts, set a timer, grab your softest blanket and rest. Your body and mind will thank you for it.
Jammy Time helps you wind down, let go and drift into peaceful slumber with notes of baby freesia, lavender and sweet pea.
Nurture your relationship with yourself. Choose one or all these ideas, warm a comforting Scentsy fragrance and give yourself a Valentine’s Day gift of self-care.
