5 Breathtaking Views of the Eiffel Tower

As much as it’s associated with love, Valentine’s Day always seems to be one of our more divisive holidays — singles vs couples, romantic love vs friendships. While the origins of the day are dark, the underlying message of love still holds true and that’s what matters. Especially now, when fear and judgement are rampant, I’d argue that love in any form is not to be balked at.

I feel about Valentine’s Day the way I do about New Year’s Eve. Sure, you shouldn’t need a calendar to tell you when to set goals and start fresh. Sure, you shouldn’t need a holiday to tell the important people in your life how much you love them. But isn’t it nice  to have those reminders? Isn’t it nice to have entire days cordoned off to celebrate reflection and love? I think so.

Whether you’re celebrating your friends, your family, your s/o or yourself this Valentine’s Day take the time to savor love. Relish in the reminder that, even in today’s often harsh world, the concept of love persists.

And, so does beauty. Even in places where ugly things have happened.

Paris, city of love. What better time to be inspired by you than now? I’ve been fortunate enough to visit Paris twice, and am pleased to say this is a city that lives up to its hype. Paris is sophisticated and charming at the same time, like the very proper aunt who smiles at you from the corner of her lips while reprimanding your exuberance.

I was pleased to find I didn’t feel the Eiffel Tower was overrated either. In fact, I found it filled me with excitement each time I saw it (and you can see it from all over the city). So, in honor of the day of love, here are five of my favorite Eiffel Tower photos.
