Introduction
Thirty, flirty, and thriving!
If you know you know...
It’s the mantra of every millennial who grew up watching 13 Going on 30, dreaming of a chic NYC apartment, a fabulous wardrobe, and a romance straight out of a rom-com. Now that we’ve actually hit our Jenna Rink era, it’s time to celebrate love—starting with the most important one: self-love.
This Valentine’s Day, forget the pressure of candlelit dinners and heart-shaped chocolates (although, if you want them, get them!). Instead, let’s take a page from Poise magazine and curate the ultimate guide to being your own biggest fan.

Dress for the Love You Want 💖
Main Character Energy
Jenna Rink didn’t wait for someone to buy her a perfect dress—she rocked that iconic colourful slip dress and owned the moment. Whether it’s a silky PJ set or a red-hot power suit, wear something that makes you feel like the main character. Because guess what? You are.
Channel Your Inner Thriller Dancer 🕺💃
A true 13 Going on 30 moment isn’t complete without an impromptu dance party. Blast your favorite throwback jams (yes, Michael Jackson’s Thriller is mandatory) and dance like Matty Flamhaff is watching. Solo or with friends, let loose and have fun—it’s scientifically proven to boost your mood! Maybe use a speaker to help you out!
Write a Love Letter… to Yourself 💌
If Jenna could go back and give herself advice, she would remind little 13-year-old her that she’s amazing just the way she is. Take a moment to jot down all the things you love about yourself, the obstacles you’ve conquered, and the dreams you’re still chasing. Future You will thank you.
Indulge Like It’s 2004 🍬
Remember the simple joys of childhood? Razzles, Lisa Frank stationery, and sleepovers with your besties? Recreate that magic—treat yourself to a nostalgic snack, rewatch your comfort movies, and let yourself be a little bit of that carefree 13-year-old again. We have sooOoooOooOOoo many sweets for you to try, and maybe have a pick & mix?! and yes....we have Razzles (well...similar at least!)
Manifest Your Own Rom-Com Ending 🎬💘
Jenna realized the life she thought she wanted wasn’t as perfect as it seemed—but she had the power to change her story. Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or something in between, Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to set new intentions. What does love (romantic or otherwise) look like for you? Dream it, believe it, and go after it.
So, whether you’re spending Valentine’s Day solo, with friends, or with your own Matty, just remember: You’re flirty, thriving, and exactly where you’re meant to be. And if all else fails?
