Don't have a date this Valentine's Day? No worries! You can spend the day treating yourself. Even if you do have a special someone this Valentine's Day, you can still make some special time for yourself. Just because Valentine's Day is advertised that you have to spend the day with a date, loving yourself and taking time out for yourself in equally as important. And what a great day to do so!

There are so many different ways to treat yourself this Valentine's Day. And you can also make special days for yourself any other days of the year!

1. Take a relaxing bath

Soak in a nice bath for an hour or so. It can be very relaxing, especially if you use a bath bomb, bath salts, or bubbles. To make it more relaxing, you can dim the lights, put some of your favorite music on, or read a book or magazine. Sounds like paradise, right?

2. Buy yourself a present

There is nothing wrong with buying yourself a present! Buy some nice clothes, a pocketbook, anything you want! You could even take yourself on a shopping spree, which can also be fun!

3. Indulge in sweets

Have some dessert! Have some cake, ice cream, chocolate, or make yourself something special to indulge in.

4. Cook a delicious dinner

You definitely don't have to cook a nice dinner for two. Cook for yourself! Make yourself something delicious that you love, and the best part is you don't have to share!

5. Sleep in/take a nap

If you don't have to be anywhere in the morning, sleep in some extra hours! Sleep is the best thing you could do for yourself. If you are busy during the day, squeeze in a nice nap to recharge!

6. Pamper yourself

Give yourself your own spa day! Get some face masks, lotions, even paint your nails. If you wanted to, you can book yourself a spa treatment. Everyone needs a day at the spa!

7. Get your friends involved

Make your Valentine's Day dates your friends! Get your friends together to indulge in food, relax, and gossip. Those are the best days in my opinion!

8. Go out to a park/nature preserve

If its a nice day to be outside, take some time out and go to your local park, or anywhere outside. This is the best place for some peace and quiet, and to just be alone with yourself. Being out in nature can be very soothing.

9. Meditate

If you really want some relaxing time, take a few minutes out to meditate. Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and have calming music in the background. Plus, if Valentine's Day is stressing you out, this is a great way to calm yourself down!

10. Eat chocolate!

You don't need someone to buy you a box of chocolates, buy one for yourself and enjoy!

11. Send Valentine's to family/friends

Show your family and friends a little love by getting them valentines. They will really appreciate it, and maybe you'll get something in return!

12. Pet a puppy

Puppy love is the best love of all! If you have a puppy or dog, make some cuddle time!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
