The Single Girl's Guide to Valentine's Day
Or….if your significant other sucks at it.
Valentine’s Day is upon us. And for some, it’s the most romantic day of the year. For other though, it’s a sad and lonely day. Valentine’s day can seem so depressing for those who are single or who’s partners will be away for the day of romance. But it doesn’t have to be that way…
If you find yourself alone on Cupid’s holiday, take heart. Because while you might not have a significant other to dote on, you can definatly love yourself on this day. As a matter of fact, you SHOULD love yourself before you let another love on you. So take this Valentine’s Day to spoil and appreciate yourself!
Below is a list of things you can do for yourself either luxe or on a budget to make this Valentine’s Day just as special, if not MORE special, than a day spent with another half.
Take YOURSELF to dinner
You can go fancy or plain here! There’s nothing wrong with eating out alone! It’s NOT sad, it’s EMPOWERING! If you’re not comfortable with that, take a girlfriend or make your favorite dinner for yourself at home! (Hello steak and crab legs)
Spa Day
Books yourself a day at the spa or get a massage. There’s nothing more relaxing than being pampered in an atmosphere like that! If you can’t get into a spa, recreate the atmosphere at home! Draw a hot bath, light candles, play nature or light music, get your fluffiest towel straight from the dryer, put on a face mask and RELAX.
Buy yourself flowers
Head to the local floral shop and spurge on a beautiful bouquet! You don’t need someone else to buy them to enjoy the sight of flowers! Another alternative is picking up flowers from Walmart…..you can get flowers for as low as $5 there that are beautiful and long lasting!
Get your hair done
Book in with your favorite beautician and go all out! Freshen up your current do or go for something completely different!
Get your nails done
Make an appointment to get those nails freshened up! Book and mani and/or a pedi! Relax and let them pamper you! OR get our your favorite polish and your foot bath (or a large container with hot water to soak your feet in) and do it yourself for free!
Music
Go to the local music shop and pick up your favorite love ballad CD or your favorite badass female performer to lift you up! Or download your favorites from iTunes or make a playlist out of your current collection and jam to it!
Dancing
Dress yourself up, grab your girlfriends, and head to the night club! Shake it, have some drinks, and maybe scope out the snigles there! (PS if you’re taken, disregard the scoping out part hahahaha)
Movie Marathon
Harry Potter fan? Spend your Valentines day at Hogwarts. Or…go for 50 Shades of Gray trio…OR re-watch he Notebook and all of your favorite romantic movies. Drink your favorite wine, grab your favorite chocolates, and pop some popcorn and relax in front of the TV and appreciate the fact that no one will take the remote from you!
