A bit of departure from the traditional Valentine’s day love note, I realize. Love intended no less.

I’ve been thinking about you, lovely you, as heart decorations go up everywhere and flower delivery trucks roll out the bouquets. You are likely super busy making everyone else feel and know that they are loved, special – that you are theirs.

When was the last time you gave yourself a Valentine?

Whether it was yesterday (good on you!), or not anytime recently (virtual *hug*), here is a list of 5 of my favorite restorative nature-infused, sweet, soul treats from my #GardenHeart to yours. 

• Succulent Heart Wreath tutorial over on my #GetYourBloomOn Pinterest board is a terrific #FeelGoodFurnishing:  love and beauty outside reflects the same and inside. Follow me on Pinterest, while you’re there. I <heart> you!

• Soul Stroll – created by the lovely Erin Stutland – is an uplifting heart/mindset/exercise combo platter that I use to keep my mind Light & body right.  One part meditation/affirmations; one part boogie down, Erin’s series nurtures self-love & inspires! Sign up for this freebie. Go for a soul stroll in nature – you’ll love it!

• Simple (and sweet) green smoothie recipe, aptly named, #RedVelvet is pretty in pink without the sugar sink. I fancy these superfood makings coming out of the kitchen at Simple Green Smoothies and I think you will too!

• Some sweet nothings to your #GardenHeart & for my designer mind, is the book The Sanctuary Garden. What lovely collaborations shall we make together?

• Pocket Guide for Thriving Outside: Your Sanctuary Space Styling Guide. Swoon over your outdoor oasis with help from my ebook! This a perfectly, perfect way to indulge in some design styling support to fall back in love with your healing outdoor haven.

I leave you with these love notes for taking good care of your precious self and connecting mind-body-heart-soul with nature’s healing power.
