Everything I’m Buying Myself For Valentine’s Day

valetines day gifts for yourself

As a Valentine’s baby (yes, I was really born on Valentine’s Day), I feel I have a certain authority on the holiday.

I used to despise V-Day, but as I grow older, I find myself more and more drawn to all things hearts and bows (and pink!).

So, in celebration, here’s everything I’m buying myself for Valentine’s Day (and my birthday!).
