“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”
– Buddha
Love begins within, and loving yourself is the sexiest thing you can do.
You won’t find it on a shelf or crammed into an advertising orifice. You don’t need single red roses wrapped in cellophane, or a nude kissogram to serenade you. No.
All you need is you.
Every year you know the score, your body, mind, soul and wallet are still recuperating from the Christmas ~ shall we call it “cheer”? When all of a sudden every marketing orifice gets bombed with hearts, cellophane roses and slogans, screaming ‘buy me now!’
Don’t get me wrong I’m all down for the lurve – hell yeah – in fact I’m so super down for it that I believe every day could, should and would be a love fest, if we could only learn to love ourselves.
Self love truly is the foundation to build your life upon. Without it you will constantly be looking to the external world and outside influences in order to achieve happiness, fulfilment and even contentment. That ma cherie is a dangerous mistake that most of us make, a lot of the time.

I salute you x
