Hey guys,

As Valentines Day is less than a week away (but I'm a single pringle haha) I thought I would share my favourite romantic films that I love to watch. I am such a big fan of rom-coms and I can't help but be a sucker to films I have already watched. I end up being obsessed with the guy in the films haha. Even though I'm single, I am such a sucker for romance and do love to believe that films are portrayed from real life scenario's - don't ruin the dream please haha.

1. P.S I Love You - Who doesn't love Gerard Butler?! I think it is so romantic that before he died (sorry for the spoiler) that he put his wife first by making sure she would be ok once he had passed. The letters and how they were given to her was so beautiful. 
2. 10 Things I Hate About You - RIP Heath Ledger. What an amazing actor. If you have not seen - go watch it. 
3. 50 First Dates - Adam Sandler is a classic. Him and Drew Barrymore work so well together (as does Adam and Jennifer Aniston). I love the fact he has so much patience and dedication.
4. Ghost of Girlfriend's Past - First love will always be the best. Amazing cast. It is about how a guy who is scared to commit (ring a bell to reality?!) and is always running away but it catches up to him. 
5. The Notebook - Who doesn't love the Notebook?! Growing old together and the love being constant. 
6. Sweet Home Alabama - I actually watched this for the first time at the start of the pandemic. I had heard the song but never the film and omg it became a fast favourite. No matter how hard you try to leave your past behind it will always catch you up, but hey it may be for the better. This features Reese Witherspoon and Josh Lucas - Josh Lucas is in the film 'The Secret' on Netflix - another must watch. 
7. The Proposal - Ryan Reynolds omg... Sandra Bullock is also an insane actress. This is about a business arrangement to help keep her visa. But of course, the feelings develop. 
8. Falling Inn Love - This a Netflix film and features Adam Demos (Sex/Life you know you know) aswell as Christina Milian. It's about a girl who wins an Inn in a competition. She decides as a break from being so busy she is going to the Inn to find its old and not stable. Therefore, she decides to renovate and sell it. 
9. The Ugly Truth - Again Gerard Butler... This just a cute easy film to watch. Both complete opposites who have to work with each other and start to learn from each other. 
10. Can You Keep a Secret - The main guy is the current Superman (in the series) and I absolutely love him. It's about a girl (Alexandra Daddario - San Andreas, newest Baywatch etc) who is on a flight which suffers turbulence which sets her into panic mode. This leads to her telling the guy sitting next to her all of her secrets. Turns out he is the owner of the company she works for.

 Hey guys,

It's Valentines Day next week, right?! And I know this year it sucks because it's the first one where people can't go out and celebrate (or go out and look for love) or even go shopping for a gift and a card for their partner. I know there is always online for gifts but it's not the same is it? Mean I don't have to worry as I'm single ahaha. But maybe this year, especially with it being a Sunday, why don't we be our own Valentines? Be our own priority. I mean it is bonus if you have a partner who you can treat/be treated but also treat yourself.

*These ideas could be for yourself or for somebody you want to treat (whether your with somebody, your friend, a family member). 

Care Packages:

It costs fairly little to go to Home Bargains/B&M and pick up a few treats for the care package. A care package could include things such as; a can of alcohol/favourite drink, under the eye gel masks, face masks, foot mask, hair mask, lip balm, bath salts, bath bomb, favourite chocolates and maybe a candle. 

When we first went into lockdown I got my friendship group a care pamper package as it was a stressful time so we all needed to de-stress and recharge ourselves. I have attached a picture of what my care package consisted of. 

Read:

I have gotten into books since this pandemic - Think that could be because I have basically watched 90% of things on Netflix, Disney Plus and Amazon Prime and was literally becoming stuck in my bed. What's more perfect than escaping Valentines Day by sitting back with a nice hot cup of tea, box of chocolates and getting lost in your favourite book. Currently, at the moment I have been reading 'Stop Thinking Start Living' by Richard Carlson which has really helped with my mindset.

Facetime/Zoom:

Okay, so maybe in the past you might have spent Valentines with your girls who are single or with other family members but with the current lockdown situation it is quite tricky. So why not take this time to Facetime and check up on them? They will be feeling the same way you are, most likely. It will both parties the world of good. 

BuyYourself a Gift:

Have you been wanting to buy something for a while but been resisting? Why? Treat yourself!! After this whole year of pandemic, you deserve it. Think I have been doing this every payslip but I have seen quite a lot of makeup products that I would love in my kit; but yet I keep stopping myself because I'm like 'No I don't need it, I'm not wearing makeup at the moment'. But thinking of it I can buy these products, it will make the first day of when the rules lifted so much more exciting as I will have brand new fresh makeup products to try. 

Have a Movie/Series Marathon:

Put on your favourite series and just get lost in your element. Whether its Sex and the City, Pretty Little Liars, Gossip Girl, Friends, One Tree Hill, Dawson's Creek, etc. There are so many to choose from. There are some new ones on Netflix too. Think next on my list is Firefly Lane. 

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Hope you all have a lovely day 💓💋
