[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_text_separator title=”Welcome to This Day in Barrington History” title_align=”separator_align_left”][vc_column_text]Good morning and welcome to February 14th and Day 45 of 365 in Barrington, Illinois! You’ll find our stories of the day – past, present & future (events) – right here on today’s DailyPage. Because every day has its own rhythm, we’re sharing a song of the day here at 365Barrington.com.
On this day, February 14th in n AD 269, Saint Valentine of Rome died. The Feast of Saint Valentine was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496 to be celebrated on February 14 in honor of Saint Valentine who was imprisoned for ministering to Christians persecuted under the Roman Empire in the third century.
According to an early tradition (and Wikipedia), “Saint Valentine restored sight to the blind daughter of his jailer. Numerous later additions to the legend have better related it to the theme of love: an 18th-century embellishment to the legend claims he wrote the jailer’s daughter a letter signed “Your Valentine” as a farewell before his execution; another addition posits that Saint Valentine performed weddings for Christian soldiers who were forbidden to marry.”
Either way, we’re loving Saint Valentine’s legacy of showing affection to those who need it most… even when sometimes those who need it most may be our own spouses! We’re celebrating Saint Valentine’s impact with our song of the day, The Spencer Davis Group’s ‘Gimme Some Lovin’, which feels like a celebration to us!

Bringing old stone back to life 🔨♻️
This bluestone has history. Instead of tearing it out and tossing it, we carefully pulled it up, cleaned it, re-cut where needed, and laid it again like new. Same stone. Fresh look. Built to last for decades.
Renew. Recycle. Remasonry done right.
If you’ve got worn, uneven, or outdated stone and want to transform it without starting from scratch, we’ve got you covered.
👉 DM us to schedule a site visit
👉 Follow for more stone transformations
👉 Let’s rebuild it better this time

Nutrition Tip of the Week 🍽️
How to Eat Out Without Blowing Up Your Progress
✔️ Protein + veggies first
✔️ Add the carb you actually want
✔️ Sauces on the side when possible
✔️ Enjoy it → move on → no guilt
Eating out doesn’t ruin results.
Overthinking it does.
Progress is built on what you do most days — not one meal with friends 🍕🍷

A healthier new year doesn’t need extremes — it needs consistency.
If you’re feeling off, stuck, or “starting over again”… start here.
These simple habits make the biggest difference when you actually do them 👇
🍽️ Plan your meals (future you will thank you — don’t wing it)
😴 Protect your sleep with a consistent bedtime
🏋️♀️ Strength train 2–3x/week (yes, this counts as self-care)
🌞 Get outside daily — even 5–10 minutes helps
📵 Log off earlier at night (your nervous system needs it)
🤝 Have accountability — doing it alone is overrated
Small habits. Done daily.
That’s how real progress happens. 💪✨
