Valentine’s Day isn’t just about flowers and chocolates—it’s about love in all its forms. Loving your home, your relationships, and yourself.
That’s why I created the Love It, Live It Challenge—a one-week refresh to bring love and intention into your spaces and connections, all in 10 minutes or less per day.
This challenge isn’t about perfection. It’s about small, meaningful actions that make your home feel more inviting and your relationships feel more connected.
Because when you love your space and your people, you truly live in the moments that matter.
