Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and for us single people, it’s not exactly the most exciting day of the year. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Rather than being gloomy and sulking on Valentine’s Day this year, let’s spend the holiday this year focusing on self-care!
- Self-Care
-
Sometimes a simple face mask is all you need to make the day more pleasant. Paint your nails! Curl your hair! Put on a full face of makeup and feel good about yourself.
- Treat Yourself to a Massage
-
Going along with self-care, go out and get a massage! Relaxing and getting in tune with yourself can be the key to strengthening your mental health.
- Write Yourself a Love Letter
-
Whoever said love letters can’t be from yourself? Take some time out of your day and write a letter to yourself. You can look back at it later for encouragement and to feel good about yourself.
- Have Breakfast In Bed
-
It doesn’t have to be a fancy breakfast, but in our busy lives, a simple breakfast in bed while reading a good book or watching a show can make a huge difference in the day.
- Buy Yourself Flowers
-
Flowers are common to receive on Valentine’s Day. That doesn’t mean you can’t give them to yourself. Remember, you’re someone special too! You can get flowers for yourself!
- Have a Cheat Day
-
Valentine’s Day is a holiday after all! Take a cheat day, indulge in your favorite treat with no regrets!
- Binge Watch Your Favorite Show
-
Snuggle up with your favorite blanket and binge watch a good show, whether it’s a new or old show! There’s no better way to spend the day.
- Celebrate Galentine’s Day
-
Get together with some good friends and celebrate! Who said Valentine’s Day can only be celebrated with your significant other?
- Spend Time With Your Pets
-
Listen, your pets are your number one fans, and undoubtedly love you more than anyone else could ever dream of. Spend some quality time with your pets, I promise it will be the best choice you’ve ever made.
- Spend time with Friends and Family
-
Friends and family will be there for you no matter what, so go spend some time with them!
So, rather than sulking all February 14th again, let’s spend the holiday treating ourselves and spending time with our friends instead! Happy Valentine’s Day to both single and taken!
