It’s February! This Valentine’s Day, you are that girl. Whether you are celebrating your relationship with your partner, besties, or yourself, there’s always a reason to love! While there’s always some kind of pressure that comes with Valentine’s Day; like wanting someone special to spend it with, having the perfect plans, or just having decorations out, this is YOUR day. This year, Valentine’s Day is about taking care of ourselves, spreading happiness, and girlhood. To get you in the mood for this wonderfully pink-hearted season, here are some of my personal music recommendations!
