"You should go and love yourself" - Justin Bieber

5 Ways To Treat Yourself Post-Valentine's Day
Rantchic

Valentine’s Day was over a week ago. Now what? Well, I think everyday should be dedicated to the idea of love, whether it’s loving a significant other or just loving yourself. Loving yourself is a weird thing. You are brought up to never be conceited, but as you grow up, you learn how it important it is to put yourself first. Even Justin Bieber thinks you should “Love Yourself,” so I compiled a list of ways to continue the love post-February 14th.

1.Take yourself to the movies

Go see that movie that you can’t convince any of your friends to go see with you. Sure, there might be a squad of middle-school kids in the theater, but you are older and wiser so it will be okay.

2. Make reservations for a table of one

Call your favorite restaurant for reservations at 6pm. When they ask you how many are in your party? One. Dress up a little more than usual and head out the door. When you’re there, order the best entre on the menu and then indulge in dessert. You deserve it.

3. Have a spa day

Whether you go to an actual spa or turn to Pinterest for DIY facemasks, go all out. Cucumbers on the eyes complete with a mani-pedi and a facial. Listen to a relaxing playlist on Spotify (“Relax & Rewind” is a good one).

4. Detox from technology

Have a me-day and explore where you live. Read at a local coffee shop or write on a park bench. Ditch social media for a couple hours and be unplugged. Send someone a hand-written letter (snail mail is still cool!). It’s a chance to live your own life without worrying about how others are living theirs.

5. Treat yourself

That thing that has been in your Amazon shopping cart for 3 weeks now? Buy it. Reward yourself for loving yourself and indulge a little. Eat a carb or 400 and order that molten chocolate cake. It’s delicious.

Whether you make a reservation for a table of one or you dedicate a night to binging on Netflix, schedule a time for yourself on your calendar. Even if it’s just an hour or two each week, remind yourself how important you are.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
