YOUR VALENTINE’S DAY SELF-CARE GUIDE
Let’s be honest: Valentine’s Day can be a bit of a bust, no matter what your relationship status. If you’re single, you power through the day, doing your best to ignore the flower deliveries and fancy chocolates pouring in for your friends and colleagues. If you’re in a relationship, you might exchange obligatory gifts with your significant other—or, if you’re brave, venture out to a restaurant, where the forced romantic mood and mediocre molten-chocolate cake do nothing for the cause. And if you’re a parent? Prepare to spend the night before the big day helping your kiddos frantically stuff chalky heart candies into Valentine’s cards for their classmates.
None of the options are exactly a celebration of love—which, last time we checked, was the point of Valentine’s Day.
Our solution? Take matters into your own hands. Wherever you fall on the relationship spectrum, we love the idea of using Valentine’s Day as a fantastic excuse to treat yourself. We dug into the B3 Shop’s Valentine’s Gift Guide for inspiration and designed our first-ever barre3 Valentine’s Day Guide to Self-Care. Indulge, enjoy, and remember: We love you!
THE BARRE3 VALENTINE’S DAY GUIDE TO SELF-CARE
Morning:
Pop out of bed and throw on our new Love Tank and heathered navy leggings—each adorned with a heart to remind you to embrace the love today. Chilly? Our Tie-Dye Love Crewneck will keep you toasty warm.
Before the tasks of the day take over, give yourself 10 minutes with Do One Thing Every Day That Centers You, a journal filled with inspiration and thoughtful challenges designed to help you recognize and appreciate the joyful moments in life—even the seemingly small ones.
Even if you’re typically a wash-your-face-and-throw-your-hair-in-a-top-knot kind of person, remind yourself that today is about you by pampering your skin. We love how hydrating this serum from Noto Botanics is, and the Glow Oil from Teami Blends has a magical ability to make us feel radiant and well-rested, even when we’re not.
Daytime:
Valentine’s Day falls on a Thursday this year, meaning you probably have a few weekday obligations you have to tend to, whether it’s work, school, or taking care of your toddler. Whatever your day brings, carve out some time for yourself and move with us in the studio or online. Busy? It’s OK—barre3 Online has workouts as short as 10 minutes!
Evening:
Skip the overcrowded restaurant scene and invite a few of your favorite people over to dig into Harvest, a book of recipes inspired by herbs, fruits, and vegetables you can harvest from your own garden. Whether you go with edible creations like quince paste (delicious on a cracker with a hunk of Manchego!) or you opt for a project like a sage garland, you and your crew will feel the love as you create together. Dress for the occasion with these heart earrings or her love necklace—perfect for Valentine’s Day but understated enough to wear any day of the year. Show your guests how much you appreciate them with party favors. Our pick: the Light My Fire Blue Kyanite Crystal Bundle. The gorgeous arrangement of sage, juniper, wild yarrow, and grasses serves as a fire starter, giving your flames an incredible scent, and the blue kyanite crystal is believed to aid communication, logical thought, and health.
Before you turn in for the night, wind down with this relaxing 10-minute workout (it’s free!), treat your skin to the Teami Green Detox Mask, and tuck in with 52 Lists for Togetherness, a journal with inspo and prompts to help you foster healthy, loving relationships.
Happy Valentine’s Day from your barre3 community!
