Valentine's Day, you either hate this unofficial holiday or you love it. Between the PDA and couples posts all over social media and people professing their deepest feelings for their significant others, it can be a lot. And depending on where you are (romantically) in your life, it can easily influence you to either ends of the "dis tew much" spectrum.

To me, Valentine's Day is just another day to show the people in your life how much you care about them. Whether it's your partner, or best friend or family members it's really about spreading and sharing the love.

And if you're single or not necessarily interested in spoiling other people, there's always spoiling yourself. From you, to you. Treat yourself to a self care weekend, buy yourself some chocolates and flowers. Make yourself your favorite meal, topped with a cheeky dessert. After all self love, is the best love. So love on yourself a little extra today.

This Valentine's Day I teamed up with the creatives over at AvantGarde Beauty Studio, here in Belgrade. They specialize in all things beauty, decked with certified estheticians, nail techs, hair stylists, make up artists- who's work ranges from regular make up applications (weddings, birthdays, events), to more theatrical, stagecraft style make up. Anything beauty you can think of, they offer the professional service.

We came up with the idea to do something cute and fun, using Rihanna's 2017 Elle cover shot as inspo. I loved working with both Ivana and Filip on this project and cannot wait to share with you all, all the other ideas we have up our sleeves. So what do you guys think? Did we nail it, or what!?

As always, I will be sharing a few shots over on my instagram, so follow me there (@_heyprettyface) if you're not doing so already. And if you are here from instagram, leave me a red heart in the comment section down below, so I know. Sending you all so much love this Valentine's Day xoxo.
