Treat Yourself This Valentine’s Day

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Valdosta chapter.

Being single on Valentine’s Day can be pretty boring, especially when all your friends have significant others and you just have yourself. But here’s the good part you don’t have to tell your date that the flowers they got you aren’t you really your type or that you don’t eat at a certain restaurant. As awesome as it is to have a “bae” on Valentine’s Day to engage in romantic things that couples do, there are many advantages to being single and enjoying it. Spend this Valentine giving love to the most important person in your life: YOU. Here are five ways to celebrate yourself this Valentine’s Day.

1. SOAK IN AN INSTAGRAM WORTHY BUBBLE BATH

When is the last time that you have just sat back and relax? Its probably long overdue for a luxurious bubble bath Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to relax. Nothing beats soaking in a hot bath for an hour or two. I’m talking about those baths with candles, mood music, bubbles, and a glass of water. Leave your phone on silent in your bedroom and use lavender-scented bath products to wash all your stress away.

2. BREAKFAST IN BED

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so take care of yourself first and foremost by having a hot meal to start your day. Just take a couple of minutes to fix that breakfast you’ve been dying to have and relax in bed afterward.

3. EAT YOUR FAVORITE DESSERTS

Valentine’s Day = an excuse to eat as much chocolate (or cake, or ice cream, or candy, or whatever) as you want! Find a cute little bakery and stock up on everything that catches your eye. 

4. SHOPPING SPREE

Shopping is definitely my all time favorite thing to do. This valentine’s switch things up a bit and get yourself that cute little promise ring that you’ve been wanting or even get yourself a customize necklace with your name on it.

5. REMIND YOURSELF HOW AMAZING YOU ARE

For the record, you are beautiful, talented, intelligent, and loved. Take a minute this Valentine’s Day to remind yourself just how special you are. No matter how you plan to spend your holiday, it’s going to be amazing – because it’s with you.
