Happy February! As we gear up for Valentine’s Day at Her Campus, we’re reminded of the most important love lesson of all: there’s no love like self-love. May this be your reminder to treat yourself now and always! In honor of February, here are the cozy items we’re treating ourselves to this month:

Mini cupcakes

Tiny, colorful cupcakes make everything better. This limited edition February Fix pack from Baked By Melissa includes chocolate blackout, dulce de leche, marshmallow, salty chocolate caramel, strawberry cheesecake, and classic red velvet. For every 25-pack sold, the company is donating $1 to Good Grief, which helps fund peer support programs for children and families who have lost a family member. -Tianna

Fluffy gloves

Given we still have a couple more months of winter weather, and our winter coat dominates most of our wardrobe when out in public these days since we’re mostly outdoors, these faux fur fingerless gloves by Apparis are extremely fabulous. They’re endlessly fluffy and stylish, leave room for texting while staying cozy, plus the Bubble Pink color is simply amazing (though the Camel, Noir, and Taupe colors are all very nice too). -Stephanie

Bloomingdale’s, $50; shop now

Soothing lotion

Cocokind just came out with their newest product, sake body lotion, and it only took me one use to fall in love. It’s extremely soothing, gives your skin a gentle exfoliation, and helps support your skin’s barrier. The best part? It’s fragrance-free but still smells so fresh and clean. It’s my new favorite part of my post-shower routine. -Maddie

Pink sweatshirt

I’m obsessed with this Hooray For Love sweatshirt — and honestly this whole collection — created by my fave sister duo, Anna and Amanda Kloots. Not only is everything super cute and cozy, but purchases benefit COVID-19 response funds! -Madeleine

B-Unlimited, $68; shop now

Luxurious skincare

This collab is only available for the month of February, and it’s the ideal self-care kit to start your day or wrap it up. Artis’s brushes might just be the softest I’ve ever used, and they were designed specifically for skincare. The LOUM Redefine Contour Firming Cream is designed to boost collagen levels and —at least in my frigid apartment — feels refreshingly cool on my dry AF skin. -Sammi

LOUM Beauty, $110; shop now

Chic headband

If you know me, you know I love a headband moment. I treated myself to this Evelyn Knotted Headband as an early V-Day gift and I’m loving the fun, floral pattern. Plus, it makes me feel way more pulled together for my daily video meetings. -Madeleine

Anthropologie, $24; shop now

Velour hoodie & jogger set

Confession: I live in this set from Aerie. I wear it during the day, I sleep in it, and truly avoid taking it off at all costs — it feels like being wrapped in a warm hug. The dreamy-soft fabric feels luxurious, yet the drawstring waist and overall loose fit make it the perfect work-from-home uniform. Comfy is the biggest understatement in the world, and while I’m obsessed with the soft oat color, they’re on sale…so it sounds like I also need them in smoked gray-Tianna

Aerie, 19.98 each; shop now

Soothing eye gels

I recently discovered these eye gels infused with all the good stuff — like collagen and aloe vera, to name a few — and I am loving them. They make my under-eyes feel smooth and hydrated and it’s a nice little #treatyourself moment for me. Pro tip: pop them in the fridge for a few minutes before wearing them for an instant cool, and it’ll help de-puff your under-eyes! -Maddie

Fortify Skincare, $12.99 for a 5-pack; shop now

Fresh candle

This lemon and grapefruit scented candle is currently my favorite, by far, and I have now ordered it multiple times. I have it in my bedroom, but it could also be a really fresh and lovely kitchen or bathroom scent. The best part is, you can smell it in your room even when it isn’t lit, so you get way more life out of it than just the time you actually have it burning! I feel light, calm, fresh, and relaxed every time I smell it now. -Stephanie

Target, $13; shop now

Work from home pajamas

We love a cozy WFH moment, and these fiery sweats are as cozy as they come. They’re super soft, and the bright orange tie-dye pattern is SO fun, making Zoom after Zoom all the more tolerable while keeping you warm while the next Nor’easter rages on outside. -Sammi

Whisps, $64; shop now

Whether you’re celebrating Galentine’s, prepping for a virtual date, or transforming your apartment into an at-home spa retreat for some solo self-care, these items will help you ring in V-Day in style. From all of us here at HC: wishing you a happy Valentine’s Day filled with *all* of the self-love.
