Be My Valentine

by | Feb 15, 2016 | Fashion, Lifestyle

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?
