Valentine's Day is for Everyone ~ Words with Michelle

Many see Valentine's Day as a holiday only for those in relationships- but let's not forget that regardless of your "status," the best gifts are often those we give ourselves. Whether there is a special someone you are sharing the day with or not- take some time pamper yourself.

Step outside for a quick (and likely brisk) walk, indulge in a little bit of dark chocolate, take a warm bath and light a couple of yummy scented candles...in other words, relax. Commit to yourself, even if only briefly, and stop to enjoy the moment.

It was around this time a few years ago that Wendy gifted me a ring from her first collection. A simple silver carved band, I immediately put it on my right hand, and it's been there ever since. While the ring is a lovely gesture of friendship, and marks the beginning of what is now Wendy Culpepper Jewelry, it has also served as a reminder that taking time for myself is part of taking care of those I love.

To celebrate this Valentine's Day, Wendy has released fifteen custom styles with a passionate red theme. Signature styles from the Alligator, Victorian, and Fiore collections have been recreated using bright garnet gemstones and deep, rich red cord. Take a few minutes to peruse these limited-availability pieces, and please feel free to share your thoughts and comments below.

Whether you indulge yourself with Wendy Culpepper Jewelry, or in other ways, we wish you a very Happy Valentine's Day for this year and always.
