February Activities

Romance yourself. I'm a big fan of year-round self-love, but Valentine's Day inspires a little extra self-lovin'. Write a love letter to yourself about all your favorite features and qualities, spend a day doing all your favorite things, or make yourself an elaborate dinner.

Light a candle when you work. I've started doing this and it is divine! Lighting a candle will help you focus and it's an instant mood brightener. Bonus points: choose a scent that corresponds to a mood you want, like lavender for relaxation.

Make time to read a book every day. Reading is such a valuable habit to cultivate. If you squeeze in just 15 minutes of reading time a day, you will have no problem finishing a book or two a month. Read a little before bed, while waiting for an appointment, or with breakfast. Reading is one of the cheapest, easiest ways to learn more and expand your vocabulary -- hop to it! Kristen has some great tips for finding time to read, and if you need recommendations, check my Pinterest board.

Take part in #28DaysofBlackCosplay. February is Black History Month, and in celebration, a group of cosplayers is partnering up to feature a black cosplayer or cosplay duo each day. Check out the hashtag and follow along, there are so many great cosplayers out there!

What's your must-do for February?

Looking for more ideas? Here's last year's list!

I'm also really big on candles right now :) For Christmas I got this big wooden-wick candle. I didn't realize at the time, but it makes crackling sounds when it burns- like a fireplace. It's peaceful hahah.

P.S. I wanted to check in again about your tank! If it hasn't arrived yet please let me know :(

Great list! I'm trying to incorporate more reading for leisure into my daily routine. I've started turning off my phone before I go to bed and reading a chapter from a book. It helps me get to sleep so much faster!

Yes! I try to read a little before bed too, and it helps me fall asleep and unwind. (Except for last night, when I finished the first book in a series and I was SO wound up from how it ended, hah!)

There is rarely a time when candles aren't burning in my house! Right now I need to get some new scents...most of what I have left are very fall oriented. Definitely need to get some new spring scents!

Most of my candles are fall/winter scents, too. I never think to burn candles in the summer months but that will probably change now!

I love the idea of romancing yourself!
ALSO, I love the #28DaysofBlackCosplay! It's so empowering to EVERYONE to see people of all colors, body types, genders, heights, etc. dressing as their favorite heroes and characters! I hope plenty of people check it out (I'm going to tag one of my Punk Joker photos)!

I'm trying to read more-- but it's definitely hard because I picked a pretty serious book-- Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami is beautiful but pretty heavy! I've also started working with candles and I finally understand why people are so crazy about them! This whole time I've just thought they were a romantic fire hazard.

Yeah, I'm currently reading book 2 in a series so it feels like I'll never finish and move on to another book, haha! I totally agree with you on the candle front, I totally didn't get it until this year!

Lately I've gotten into the habit of lighting a candle at my work/craft desk whenever I'm working down there, it's been rather nice. Gives a nice atmosphere to the place. Plus the candle I have is in a holder that says "Anything Is Possible" & it was a Christmas gift from my aunt :)
