What to Wear for Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day is Sunday – I am SO excited! I never used to admit I was one who liked Valentine’s Day, but I’ve secretly always liked it. Between creating a tradition to watch Pocahontas every year and drink rose champagne (after turning 21 of course), it’s been pretty dang good! In 7th grade, I received a Valentine’s journal from one of my friends for my birthday. With a birthday at the end of January, I was always destined to get some Valentine’s Day themed gifts. Anyway, I starting writing love poetry in it, including a poem called “Mr. Smith” about our student teacher. All the girls in 7th and 8th grade had a crush on him, and while I’m not 100% where this journal is now, I know my poem started out something like “Mr. Smith is not a myth…” and so on and so forth. Perhaps his name is why I became obsessed with the idea of watching Pocahontas on Valentine’s Day every year (Hello John Smith!) – or it could be the fact that Pocahontas has been my favorite Disney movie since 2nd grade. But seriously, I used to have a crush on John Smith in the movie, a fake character. Silly isn’t it? But seriously – watch the waterfall scene and you’ll be like “YES RACHEL this is the best, most romantic movie ever” and then listen to this song, and you’ll be like, wow this is the most beautiful song ever. You’re welcome.

Well fast forward years later – I have immensely enjoyed spending Valentine’s Day with my fiance Joe. He has always been thoughtful in planning something and we have always had a great time without having to spend too much money or get too wrapped up in the “holiday.” This year, we might just bake a heart-shaped pizza, eat an ice cream cake all to ourselves, and talk about wedding planning. As I write this, I’m smiling and feeling quite giddy. Every time I think of marrying him, my heart flutters! So cheesy, I know. But I love this man – as my friend said back when we first met “Your eyes light up when you talk about him.” And I digress, back to the the pizza talk. If not pizza, then maybe some brewery hopping like we did last year. It was super fun, and then Joe made us the most delicious seafood pasta with shrimp and a side of king crab legs! Regardless of what we do, I am prepped with several dresses and combinations, like this pink lace and red midi skirt combination. Perfectly fun for Valentine’s Day!

    Look at you not freezing your booty off in these photos, despite it totally probably giving you hypothermia! Red and pink are always winners in my book.

    Such a gorgeous and elegant Valentine’s Day look Rachel! I love Pocahontas too! It’s one of my favorite movies. I find myself looking up the songs on Youtube and just singing along lol. Just around the Riverbend….I could listen to that song all day. Is there anything better than Disney movies?! Anyways, hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s day with your love Rachel! 🙂

Instagram post 2190369799895329969_46050882 Happy December friends!!!!! 2019 has been flying by and I can’t believe we are in full swing holiday season! This picture is appropriate to celebrate the holiday season & the snow storm currently happening outside 🤣 I guess we couldn’t avoid it forever! ❄️❄️❄️ anyway, just want to say Happy December and looking forward to sharing lots of holiday content soon! This look is from 2015, but I’ve linked many similar items on the @liketoknow.it app! Shop this full look >>> http://liketk.it/2HJEE #liketkit #LTKholidaystyle #LTKunder100 #LTKunder50
Instagram post 2173457516695079584_46050882 [AD] The results are in, and they are RADIANT! My skin is glowing thanks to the Olay Regenerist Rentinol24 Night Moisturizer. I've been using this for the past few weeks in place of my regular nightly moisturizer and was so blown away by the immediate results. I have noticed so many differences in my skin, including my skin looking plumper, increased firmness, increased brightness, increased smoothness and reduced acne scarring. This night cream is going to be my go-to moisturizer for a LONG time. Not only do I get the great benefits of using a retinol, which by the way, I saw ZERO irritation with this product, I also get the great hydrating formula I've seen with other Olay moisturizers. If you want to learn more, check out the link in my bio -  http://spr.ly/luna-114 - and be sure to watch my most recent YouTube video where I share MORE about my experience over the past few weeks with the @olay #Retinol24 line. #Olay #beautyblogger
Instagram post 2159842770729043350_46050882 #ad You guys, I'm SO excited to introduce the new @Olay Retinol24 collection! I had an amazing time opening my SKIN-MERGENCY kit (SEE the full and hilarious experience of me "breaking" into the kit of the new products on my Instagram stories!) Over the next four weeks I will be using these three new products by replacing my daily moisturizer with the Olay Regenerist Retinol24 and using both the Retinol24 serum and eye cream at night as well. Stay tuned, as I will be sharing my FULL results with these retinol products and the benefits I see. Check out my stories for even more information on my experience with retinol so far! #Retinol24 #Olay
Instagram post 2156326599509839385_46050882 I’m a couple days late, but what else is new? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Happy Anniversary babe! @rollbieck 10.14.17 was the most amazing day and I can’t believe how much has changed/we’ve done in the past two years
.

We said yes to this journey called life together and I’m so excited for the new adventure we’re on. I’m so fortunate to have someone who respects me and loves me tirelessly. Who let me pursue my dreams to move to the East Coast. Who supported this crazy dream of mine to move to Boston and “figure it out as we go”... who was willing to sacrifice for me to do what I want and love. Thank you endlessly for giving me this opportunity to be selfish and pursue what I love!
.

Marriage is also truly in good times and bad... because we’ve had plenty of unexpected and scary things happen the past couple years... but through the worst times, we found strength in each other and our love. It’s hard to understand the why sometimes, but I’ve always had you, we’ve always had each other!
.
.
So thank you again for everything! This past year has been our biggest adventure yet! I can’t wait to see what we do and accomplish this next year... love you Joe ❤️❤️❤️ #anniversary #rslbwedding #OurSobieckStory #TrampelingintoSobieck

Instagram post 2144622350014939974_46050882 I missed the obligatory 1st day of fall pic, so instead here’s my last day of September pic (because we all know tomorrow is way more important than the first day of fall 👻). This is a throwback to my leopard print style in 2015 but still rocking all the leopard print currently! Happy {almost} October 🎃 and happy fall! #leopardprint #fallstyle #wiw #rachelslookbook
