Valentine For One

Valentine's Day is about love.  Well for me, once again, it's about loving myself first.  Last year I spent the day with my Spec and a few of her friends.  After ending a very complicated relationship in early January, I thought spending the day alone was fitting.  It gives me some time to do some self-reflection and focus on myself...It also gave me a chance to spoil myself.


First thing I did to spoil myself was eat a delicious cupcake from Gigi's Cupcakes.  They have cupcakes all over the the US, mostly east of the Mississippi.  I got their Kentucky Bourbon Pie cupcake from their Lexington location. It's a bourbon cake with pecans and chocolate chips inside and a cream cheese frosting.  There's also chopped pecans and chocolate chips drizzled with caramel and ganache.  It was divine!



For my film of choice I chose The Color Purple.  People say that it's an awkward movie to watch on Valentine's Day, but when you think about it, it is.  It's about self love and having the strength inside to believe that you are wroth more than how others value you.  For my it was the perfect movie.

Happy Valentine's Day!
