Who Says Love Can't be a Little Weird?
Hey Reader,
Valentine’s Day is here, and whether you’re all about the roses and rom-coms or, like me, you prefer your romance with a side of horror, there’s one thing we can all agree on: owning your weird is the ultimate love story.
So here’s my Valentine to you—an unapologetic celebration of standing out, embracing your quirks, and showing up as your beautifully unique self in life, art, and business.
💕 Love Your Weird: A Self-Love Playlist for Creatives
Music has a way of making us feel seen, and nothing says “own your weird” like a killer soundtrack. Here’s a playlist to celebrate your uniqueness:
🎶 "Don’t Stop Me Now" – Queen
🎶 "Express Yourself" – Madonna
🎶 "Born This Way" – Lady Gaga
🎶 "Unwritten" – Natasha Bedingfield
🎶 "This Is Me" – The Greatest Showman
Put it on repeat, belt it out, and remind yourself that your quirks are the best thing about you.
Check out my latest playlist - it's totally 80s!
🖤 A Valentine’s Watchlist: Love, but Make It Creepy
For my fellow horror lovers (or those who just want to break the romance mold), here are my top picks for a twisted Valentine’s night:
- My Bloody Valentine (2009) – Small-town terror with a killer in a miner’s mask. A Valentine’s Day must-watch.
- Valentine (2001) – Slasher meets secret admirers in the most 2000s way possible.
- Warm Bodies (2013) – A zombie rom-com with heart (literally). Even the undead need love!
Not as spooky, but still in the horror genre:
🔪 Crimson Peak – Gothic romance with ghosts? Say less.
🩸 Bram Stoker’s Dracula – Dark, dramatic, and absolutely iconic.
🎭 Phantom of the Opera – Because we love a little obsession in our romance.
🕷️ The Love Witch – Retro, eerie, and ridiculously stylish.
🖤 Jennifer’s Body – Who needs flowers when you’ve got revenge?
But if you do love a good romance, here are some for the softhearted:
💖 Moulin Rouge! – Love + music + tragedy = perfection.
💖 Amélie – Pure quirky charm.
💖 Pride & Prejudice (2005) – The ultimate slow burn.
💖 Ever After – A fairytale classic with an independent heroine.
💋 Romanticize Your Look—But Make It Clean Beauty:
Valentine’s is the perfect excuse to glam it up, whether you’re going out or just feeling yourself at home. Here are my fave clean beauty brands to get that soft glam with a conscience:
💄 Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques – Organic, cruelty-free, and I’ve got a discount for you! (BRIE10 - save 10%)
🌿 W3ll People – High-performance, budget-friendly, and eco-conscious.
✨ Gabriel Cosmetics – Gorgeous, clean formulas that don’t break the bank.
Go for a classic red lip, a bold cat eye, or keep it natural—you do you.
🎭 The Best Love Story? You + Your Brand
