I love it. I do.
If you can ignore the marketing schemes and all the Debbie Downers complaining about how depressing Valentine's Day is, you can see that there's something much richer at the heart of it.
Single, married, young, old, rich, poor...
We can all give love.
I think J and I are really good about saying and showing how much we love each other any time of the year. But I value a day that makes us slow down, and enjoy it a little more.
Is there someone in your life who needs to hear I love you? Today's the day...
Inspired by this (much prettier) project, my V-day hearts were made with unsweetened chocolate and coconut sugar, with peanut butter and coconut oil blended in.
Happy Valentine's Day
I love you, dear reader.
when the layers subside
and the fortune is empty
the pigment of our days
will echo pure
and i will be nowhere
if not with you

Your candies are so pretty AND yummy looking. I don't know if I could eat them though, I'd probably save them in the fridge (until desperation set in)
