<div style="text-align: center;">So since the trip...I had a nice holiday break and started a new job at the first of the year!

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Even when I was attached, Valentine's Day was never about presents and flowers for me. </div><div style="text-align: center;">It's about reminding those that you love that, well, you love them!</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's about spending time together!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But even so, sometimes the holiday sneaks up on us singles, or the boyfriend/husband doesn't live up to your expectations, so I recommend this.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Be your own Valentine!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm serious! For the first two weeks of February, I propose 14 things to "love" yourself.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>1. Exercise and Eat Right</strong></div><div style="text-align: center;">I know this sounds cliche, but when you nourish and take care of your body, you truly feel so much better!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">And we can't discuss pink without commenting on Natalie Portman. I love Natalie, but she just completely missed the mark.

</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Arkansans react 1 of 2 ways when we hear snow is coming:</strong></div><div style="text-align: center;">1. We run to the grocery store for bread and milk and all kinds of comfort foods.</div><div style="text-align: center;">2. We are jaded by promises of snow and ignore the weather alerts.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am of variety #2. I never believe it will really happen. When my mom called this afternoon and said it was downpouring snow in her town (about an hour away), and was sticking, I immediately threw on some jeans and (f)Ugg boots (my fake Target variety Uggs) and went to pick up some work at the office.<br />
<br />
As soon as I started driving home, the snow startef falling...<br />
