Valentine's Day is just a few days away, and whether you're celebrating or not, we like to think of v-day as a time to treat yourself. 

So, we put together a list of things that you can do/eat/wear/watch at home (hello Frugal Feb), to get you feelin' the self luuuuurve.

Slip into something comfortable

First thing's first, put on your favourite pair of Pyjamas and get cozy, or jump online and treat yourself to a new pair! We love this satin set from Peter Alexander that's on theme for Feb 14th! 

Retail therapy

In the words of Carrie Bradshaw, "I like my money right where I can see it: hanging in my closet." Or in this case, hanging from our earlobes, with these super cute heart studs from Izoa at The Iconic. Whatever you've had lingering on your wishlist, there's no better day to treat yourself.

Embrace the cliché

Put on a cringey movie with a happy ending and just embrace the feels. Okay, so 'He's just not that into you' isn't the most romantic of rom-coms, but it IS funny, relatable and has a hot AF, star studded cast - so there's a little bit of something for everyone. An honourable mention for Practical Magic, which IYKYK, and if you don't - take this as a sign to watch immediately because 90's Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman practicing love spells over midnight Margaritas CANNOT be missed. 

Put on a feel-good playlist

Whatever that means to you! Whether it's something zen, a 90's throwback or our personal favourite - the Montii goes Country playlist, curated by us and YOU! Yep, it's collaborative so you can add your faves, and we've been working on it with our followers for a few years. You can find it here. Yeeeeehaw!

Stay hydrated

Nothing tastes as good as hydrated feels! Fill up your fave Stainless Steel bottle and sip on some icey cold goodness that's gonna make you feel fabulous from the inside out. We may be biased, but our vessel of choice is obvs a Montii sipper - and check out this sneaky new shade that's coming soon - don't you just love?!

Hack the happy hormone

Hear us out, no-one wants to do laundry on Valentine's Day, but since you're already spending the night in, why not get a head start on some chores? Psychologically speaking, accomplishing even small tasks can give you a dopamine rush, reinforcing positive feelings of productivity and control. For an added mood-booster, make that laundry look good with these Bon Maxie handy hamper sets we've been crushing on - did we mention they also come in Leopard print? Swoon. 

Pamper yourself

Take an good ol' everything shower. You know the type. Throw in a hair mask, exfoliate, and then apply all your favourite skincare. Lather yourself in a gorgeous body oil like this one from Drift Trading Co.

Good clean fun

We're BIG board game and card game fans here at Montii HQ. From Monopoly Deal to Sequence, we love to get off our screens for a bit and challenge our friends, fam' or partners to a game. We can't resist this heart shaped Four in a row game from Typo.

Enjoy a little treat

Did we tell you lately that you deserve a (daily) treat? Grab yourself something delicious from that fancy bakery you usually walk right past, or better yet - try making something yourself. Transform the iconic Arnott’s Iced VoVo biscuits into this Iced Vovo Slice in under an hour and share it with your loved ones (or y'know...don't share it at all). 

That's all from us folks - we hope you enjoyed these recommendations - we'd love to hear your favourites in the comments! 

With love, The Montii Crew xo
