I get overly excited when there’s a legitimate reason to get all glammed up and go out to celebrate. And clearly, Valentine’s Day is one of them! My husband has been working so much lately, so I took it upon myself to make our plans this year… Of course I asked him to be my valentine!
Since I knew it was going to be a big night for us with multiple public appearances, I enlisted my local glam squad to help me get ready for the celebration of love. If there’s one thing I believe in, it’s investing in ourselves! Mommyhood can certainly take a toll and make me feel run down at times, so I need a recharge for my sanity and self-esteem. I think it’s all about balance and allowing yourself an escape from time to time. Let’s be honest, fresh hair and makeup, especially when someone else is doing it, is a game changer!
Here’s my Valentine’s date night look, as well as some behind the scenes of me getting ready. I went with a more casual look since it was a Friday night in Detroit. Besides, who says you have to stick to all red and lace for Valentine’s Day anyway? I say rock those mom jeans if you got ‘em!
Are any of you getting glammed up this weekend to celebrate?
