My most important childhood dream was becoming an author. Almost 40 years (yes, a lot of years) later, I'm finally stepping out of my comfort-zone and putting myself out there into the unlimited possibilities of the world wide web.

2022 is all about self love, self acceptance and self appreciation. So why not to be your own Valentine? Or at least have a list ready when your husband asks you last minute to gift you something?

.I will keep this blog post short and sweet – because Valentines day should be sweet, right? So get yourself a cup of coffee or hot tea, grab a chocolate (I enjoyed one Lindt & Sprüngli truffle with Marc de Champagne filling, so so good) and then take 5 minutes to read and hopefully enjoy these Valentine gift picks.

Show yourself some love – or send this article to your partner for some gift inspiration.

With love, always.

Audrey.

Sézane Paris | Colette Marinière in pink neon

I own this striped top in navy, red and beige. Honestly, it’s one of my most worn items in my closet. I love the heavier quality, it’s made in Europe and with 91% organic cotton, 9% recycled polyester. On days when I don’t know what to wear, I always grab either a white shirt or these striped tops.

Pacifica Beauty | Vegan Collagen Overnight recovery cream

Discovered this brand on my last trip to the US while I was strolling through the aisles at Target. I immediately feel in love with the packaging – mostly glass jars and bottles – and it’s a vegan and cruelty-free skincare brand. They even have a recycling program for their plastic empties to give them a 2nd life. The Vegan Collagen Overnight recovery cream smells amazing, gives my skin a silky and smooth feeling and it’s so moisturising. Since I use this brand, my skin improved so much and my wrinkles are less visible.

Pacifica Beauty | Vegan Collagen recovery eye cream

Because my skin around my eyes needs some special love, I was purchasing this eye cream with the Overnight cream and it didn’t disappoint. I use it day and night and when I need a little extra moisture. My skin loves it, my wrinkles are not gone but less visible and my skin around the eyes is looking firmer and less dry.

Peace out | Retinol face stick

After reading so many reviews about this face stick, I have to finally try it out. This is one of my Valentines gifts for myself. I love that’s a water-free formula and also this Retinol face stick is vegan, clean and cruelty-free.

Herbivore | Rose Quartz Facial Roller | Sephora

Pamper yourself with a face massage in the morning or evening. I always use my Rose Quartz Facial Roller after my serums in the morning and it’s so refreshing. Gives me the feeling that all my skincare products and ingredients are better absorbed from my skin when I use the Facial roller.

Herbivore | Rose Quartz Gua Sha

2022 is the year in which I want to give some extra love to my skin and I’m on the edge of starting to do face yoga. So I started to use my Gua Sha again regularly and it’s now a fixed program in my morning and night skincare. It feels so good to massage the tension out of my foreskin when I’m stress and tired. I’m honestly addicted to it and I will not ever be without a Gua Sha ever again.

AMYO Jewelry | Tiny Heart Huggies

How cute and chic are these huggies? Definitely pieces you can wear everyday and fall in love again and again. Love is in the details.

AMYO Jewelry | Gemstone Heart Studs Garnet 14K Gold

These are so perfect for a Valentines gift and I give this present idea to my husband when he asked me what I want. I’m not a big fan anymore of bigger earrings and I find that smaller pieces are fitting my lifestyle at the moment better. And I’m actually wearing smaller earrings – bigger ones I wear maybe for five minutes and then I’m so annoyed that I take them off again.

Stella McCartney | Falabella mini faux leather cross-body bag

This bag comes in a such a gorgeous and fresh color. I have this bag in a beige neutral color and use it as a crossbody or as a clutch. The golden chain makes this bag extra luxurious. My go-to bag for a date night or when I don’t want to carry a lot of things with me.

ABLE | Dainty heart studs

I have a thing for heart studs obviously. Would definitely buy them for my daughter when she would be a little older.

AMOUR VERT | Rosemary Nouveau Fleece Dress

Perfect dress for Valentine and beyond. I was searching for a pull on dress which is comfy, sustainable and looks elegant. Puffy sleeves can really make a difference and I still find them so so chic. On sale at them moment. Comes also in a more neutral, lighter color.

Facetheory | Balancing Rosehip Oil O3

Another skincare brand I love and can honestly recommend. The Rosehip Oil is ethically sourced from Bulgaria and comes in an amber glass bottle. The oil is great against signs of ageing and it contains Vitamin A and E to hydrate and regenerate.

One Love Organics | The Cleansing Sponge Rose Clay Heart

While researching for this blog post, I found this cute Sponge heart and I have to share it with you. Valentine is all about love and hearts so why not to have one heart hanging in your bathroom? It’s an eco-friendly alternative to replace makeup remover wipes (long time I don’t use them anymore) and it makes your daily skincare extra lovable.

ABLE | Heart Huggie Hoops

Can’t stop, won’t stop to link things in heart shapes for Valentine’s Day. These hoops are cute, dainty and oh so cute.
