V-Day is Here, But Self-Love Tips Don’t Have to Stop After the Holiday!


Local educator of 20 years, published author, confidence coach, and founder of the SociallyWize Foundation, Tracey Mckenzie, is encouraging teens this Valentine’s Day to take on the SociallyWize’s 14-day Acts of Love Valentine’s Challenge. 


As a pre-teen or a teenager, you’re bound to compete with raging hormones and stress from societal pressure. According to We Heart It, the image-based social network, 65 percent of teens are stressed and stumped on Valentine’s Day from social media alone. Teens may question their self-esteem or feel unloved when scrolling through their Instagram feed and seeing their peers in relationships but not them. No worries, SociallyWize is here to provide a helping hand during this sensitive time. 


As a teen, you’ll take it easy this year by participating in The SociallyWize’s 14-day Acts of Love Valentine’s Challenge. A bingo-inspired challenge that will soothe your mind during this sensitive time by providing self-care challenges for you to try. Get ready to become Wize on self-love! 


All you have to do is head over to the @sociallyWize Instagram this Valentine’s Day to access and participate in the Acts of Love challenges.


Show your participation through photos or videos and using the tag #sociallywizeselflove for us to see and for you to be featured on the @SociallyWize Instagram.

Visit www.SociallyWize.com to learn more tips on how to reduce stress and social pressures for this Valentine’s season.
