celebrate valentine’s day 2021-style

February 4, 2021      1 Comment

2021 is proving to be another “interesting” year, but I plan to celebrate Valentine’s Day in all the ways! Festivities make me happy and I think we can use all the happiness we can get!

valentine's day

Valentine’s Day isn’t my favorite holiday, by a long shot, but this year, I plan on making the most of every special moment, so I am going all in on the hearts and candy and flowers.

Register for a themed race or take part in a festive workout.

Nothing makes the holidays feel like the holidays than a themed race. I’m super fortunate to have an in-person race on February 13 (Galentine’s Day!), but if that’s not possible for you, there are plenty of virtual options from which to choose! I love the tank and medal for the Love 2 Run from Gone For A Run!

Treat yourself to a manicure.

I’ve embraced the home manicure since discovering Color Street (NOT an affiliate link, I just love these polish strips, and order them here). To be honest, I can’t imagine a time when I will go back to professional manicures, when these are so cute and easy and quick. I spent a few minutes upgrading my nails to this scarlet glitter (Chile It Cool), perfect for February 14th.

Valentine's Day

Remember Galentine’s Day!

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, you don’t have to be in a relationship. Galentine’s Day is a fabulous way to honor your lady friends, Leslie Knope style. What’s Galentine’s Day?

“Oh it’s only the best day of the year. Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It’s like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas.”

So, we may not be able to get together for big parties with all our gal-pals, but maybe we can enjoy waffles with all the toppings, while Zooming with our ladies. If we can do anything, it’s adapt.

Spread the love.

One of the best things in the world is bringing joy to others. This year, I hope to share some of that with some of my most beautiful girlfriends, especially if I can’t see them in person. Try delivering some glittery champagne bottles, with stroopwaffels (a nod to Galentine’s), and a sweet note to your friends. Just because we can’t celebrate Valentine’s Day together, doesn’t mean we should skip celebrating entirely.

Take care of you.

Now, let’s not forget that you are also deserving some self-love on February 14, and everyday. I think it’s fair to say we’ve all been working hard and under a lot of stress, so let’s take the steps to take better care of us. Maybe start with a new skincare regimen: find your FRÉ Skincare Valentine with this simple quiz, and save 35% on your order (affiliate link). Use code JENNL at checkout and save an additional 10%! Your future self will thank you.

Enjoy a special meal.

I love to celebrate Valentine’s Day’s with a special meal, although very rarely do I want to eat out. Even though our restaurants are open, we are opting to stay in this year. We may support local with takeout, but I am thinking about putting together a yummy fondue dinner for us, instead. We can get to-go another night when things are a little less hectic.

How do you plan to celebrate Valentine’s Day this year? How will you make things special, or do you skip the day altogether?

    Nope. Not a biggie in my world.

    I’ll be running a half marathon. The hubby will be home.

    Last year I was in Bermuda.

    Glad you make the most of it. Enjoy.

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
