『About the Holiday』

◤━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◥

◣━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◢

I think self love I an extremely important concept that isn't practiced enough in today's society. With the constant picture of a "perfect" person in the media, many people feel they fall short. Mental health is a large concern in today's world, and henceforth self love should be more practiced and important.

Having one day of the year completely dedicated to self love can help boost the happiness and energy levels of people. It would remind us that self care is crucial and shouldn't be neglected when busy.

I chose to place the Holiday on November 26th with a specific thought in mind. I wanted it to be in one of the cooler months of the year, and from there to have it the same month as Valentine's day to piggyback off of the celebration of love.

『Colors』

◤━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◥

◣━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◢

Many holidays have a central color theme. Christmas is red and green, Valentine's day is red, pink, and purple, St. Patrick's day is green, and so forth. I decided one thing I needed to include in my holiday was a theme color!

So, I propose that blue be the official color. Now, there is reason behind my choice. Although yellow is a sunshiny and positive option, blue is a cool toned color rather than a warm color, and is more calming.

Blue is usually associated with sad feelings, but I think blue is just a comfort color. It's my favorite color, and I think it deserves a holiday to itself.

『Foods』

It's not an official holiday without some special foods, right? On Halloween it's candy, and at Thanksgiving it's turkey and mashed potatoes.

The foods for self love day would include breads, sugar cookies, and soups.

Drinks such as tea, coffee, and hot cocoa are also commonly found around this holiday.

Many of the consumption choices of this holiday were selected because they are often warm and calming foods.

『Traditions』

Since this holiday encomes love of one's self, it changes from person to person, but some common traditions would be associated with the Holiday.

One common traditions is baking. Baking is a fun and cozy activity where you put your energy and love into making something you can eat. Many people bake to relax and enjoy themselves, so it is associated with the Holiday.

Another tradition is bathing. Taking care of your body is important! Having a relaxing deep cleansing of the body is something that would naturally be associated with self care, and therefore self love. Bathing gives an individual a chance to be alone and surrounded in warmth.

◤━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◥

◣━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◢

A less common tradition is music. Not everyone feels they have music ability, but singing or playing an instrument can be lots of fun and a great outlet for lots of people.

Reading and/or watching movies/shows is a fan-favorite tradition. Taking the time to sit and just take in the world around you and jump into another world is a great way to reward yourself for all the hard work we do in our own lives.

And of course, as it goes, any outlet that a person may have are common traditions for certain person's. If a person really enjoys art, it may be a tradition for them to make a painting! This is where the personality and hobbies of each person shines through. Whatever hobby a person enjoys most should be made time for in self love efforts.

I hope you enjoyed my spin at a dream holiday! I would seriously love to have a day off from everything to practice loving myself. A lot of people don't make enough time for it sadly.

I hope you have a good rest of your day! I love you all! Bye!
