Place the thumb of your dominant hand against your chin or jawline. Then, bring your dominant hand down to rest on top of your non-dominant hand, tapping the sides of your hands together.

Point to yourself, cross your arms over your chest for 'love', point to yourself again for 'my', and finish with the sign for 'sis'.
