Valentine's Day is the celebration of Love. Everyone gets too caught up in the idea that love always has to involve someone else. They tend to forget to love the most important person... Themselves.
We're changing the way we see this Valentine's Day! Say it with me: if we are single, we are NOT sulking. We are celebrating! Believe it or not, you CAN wine, dine, and 69... yourself! Here's a list of 7 things you can do to for yourself this Valentine's Day:
1. Breakfast in Bed - Let's start the day with cooking your favorite breakfast and enjoying it in bed! Breakfast being the most important meal of the day becomes twice as important when celebrating yourself this Valentine's Day because this will set your mood and intentions for positivity for the day! To be fair, you will have to get out of bed to make yourself the breakfast but why not bring it back on a tray and enjoy your favorite show while filling up your belly!
2. Get a Massage or Manicure/Pedicure - Show yourself how much you care by taking yourself to get a massage or a manicure/pedicure! You work hard and you deserve some relaxation. Unwind from the stresses of your life by allowing yourself to be pampered for a few hours! Balling on a budget? Make Valentine's Day an at home spa day! Grab yourself some bath bombs and face masks and get your relaxation on.
3. Indulge in a bubble bath - I'm not talking turning the water on hot and simply plopping yourself in there. Light some candles, buy some special bubbles, turn on some relaxing music and turn down the lights. Do whatever you need to do to make yourself feel genuinely at peace, quiet and relaxed during that moment.
4. Take yourself on a shopping spree - Treat yourself to a shopping spree! Have you been in need of new shoes or new clothes? Take some time to go out and find yourself the items you need. There's nothing wrong with stepping a bit out of your comfort zone and treating yourself to something that may not necessarily be a need, but more of a want. You deserve it!
5. Take yourself on a sexy shopping spree - Lingerie and adult toys don't need to be restricted to couples. Celebrate yourself and make your way to your local adult store to buy yourself something that catches your eye. This can be some new sexy underwear, a silky robe, or a toy that is new and exciting! if you're too shy to stop at your local adult store, try some online shopping! You can always find some amazing deals here!
6. Take yourself on a date - Doll yourself up for the night, get as fancy as you'd like, and dine at your favorite restaurant! Enjoy the fact that you can eat your favorite dish without anyone asking for a bite. PLUS, you don't have to share dessert! Or get as comfy as you want and head on over to the local cinema and watch the movie you've been wanting to see.
7. Write yourself a love letter - Sometimes we need to be reminded of all the positive things we have going for ourselves. Fill a page with everything you love about yourself or everything you're proud of! Save this letter and the next time you're feeling sad, read this letter for a reminder on just how great you are!
The best way to celebrate yourself this Valentine's Day is to remind yourself that being single does not mean you are missing something or you are somehow incomplete. You should be your #1 fan, biggest supporter, and full of love for yourself no matter what day it is!
