This Valentine’s Day I came up with an idea a little out of the ordinary: Valentine’s is the holiday of lovers, but this year my invitation is to FALL IN LOVE WITH YOURSELF—because the relationship you have with yourself is the most important one in your life!

Love is one of the core values of Live Better, so much so that we chose the heart you see here as our symbol. I believe that love is the most powerful force that exists, capable of bringing out the very best in us.

This Valentine’s Day I came up with an idea a little out of the ordinary: Valentine’s is the holiday of lovers, but this year my invitation is to FALL IN LOVE WITH YOURSELF—because the relationship you have with yourself is the most important one in your life!

L’amore è uno dei principali valori di Live Better, tanto che abbiamo fatto del cuore il nostro segno distintivo. Io credo che l’amore sia la forza più potente che esista, in grado di tirare fuori la parte migliore di noi!
