I am a big proponent of showing SELF LOVE! I've always purchased gifts for myself that I found meaningful or important or beautiful. I have never waited to be gifted something. As lovely as it sounds to wait and hope someone heard and picked up on your hint and got you exactly what you wanted, that has never really been the case for me. My parents were not big gift givers, except for experiences, which I LOVE. If I valued something and wanted it, I would work hard to get it for myself.  

I find such satisfaction in showing myself some love with a new handbag or a pair of shoes or dress I have had my eye on. No one knows what I love - and will take the time to truly find it- better than I do, so who better to shower me with love than yours truly?! Some people feel like they have to get permission from their partners or ask for things, but it brings me joy to see something I love and to purchase it for myself.

So this Valentine's Day, I say, if you have your eye on a special JP piece, go for it. I hope it will light you up like it does me!

Pro Tip: start with the JPxHB Jewelry Case- because every gal needs a beautiful and sleek way to travel with her jewels!
