It's that time of year again. Valentine's Day is quickly approaching and people are making their dinner reservations and stocking up on roses. I want to bring attention to the idea of thriving on February 14th even as a single woman. There are some unique ways you could celebrate and make the most out of Valentine's Day as a single.
1. Buy yourself a present
Whether it be chocolate, flowers, or one of those obnoxiously large teddy bears, you deserve some gifts...treat yourself!
2. Watch a rom-com
We all love a little of "The Vow" or "How to lose a guy in 10 days". There's nothing better than a movie marathon with your gal pals especially when it features your celebrity crush. If you're really in the spirit "Valentine's Day" is always a classic too.
3. Shop around
Stores usually have holiday sales for Valentine's Day, go on a shopping spree and take advantage of the holiday sales!
4. Two words: Spa. Day.
Take advantage of the "me-time" for some self care, a spa day is always a good day.
5. Host a GALentines
My favorite way to celebrate! Get your girl gang together and do something fun as a group to make some memories with people you care about.
6. Take a road trip
Take some time for yourself, get out of your town and go somewhere you've never been. It'll be refreshing and you won't be around to see all your locals doing all of the typical couple things.
7. Unplug
Go the full day or a couple of hours without social media.Take the day off so you won't feel left out of all of the mushy love posts.
8. Workout
I know it's different for everyone, but i feel like working out releases so much stress that I carry around daily. Take a hike, a spin class, yoga, etc. to send your mind and body good and healthy vibes. Besides, the class you've been wanting to take that's always full most likely will have open spots on Valentine's night.
9. Wear something that makes you feel good
10. Spread the love
You don't have to be in a romantic relationship to celebrate Valentine's day. I'm a firm believer in spreading love every day, but if there's a specific day to celebrate it, I'm totally for it. Whether it's someone you love and care about, or a stranger, show some love to someone else today through an act of kindness.
Being single is a celebratory moment that is often overlooked. This is a time you can focus on YOU. Remember to stay confident regardless of your relationship status. Love yourself because you're amazing, worthy of love and so purposed. You go girl!
