14 Ways to Treat Yourself This Valentine's Day
NPR

If you're like me, then you don't have a significant other to buy you a gift or take you out to dinner this Valentine's Day. You might feel a little lonely (or even a little jealous) seeing couples posting cute photos of them at dinner or with the flowers or chocolate they got for each other. Here's a solution: be your own Valentine! Here are 14 ways to treat yourself this Valentine's Day!

1. Send yourself flowers.

One of the classic Valentine's Day gifts is flowers. Go online and order yourself a nice arrangement or even just go to the grocery store and pick out a cute bouquet to put in your room, apartment, or house.

2. Have a spa night.

Go out and get one of those cheap facials from Ulta. Pick up a new nail polish color. Get a nice body scrub. Turn your bathroom into a spa and pamper yourself!


3. Buy yourself chocolate.

Another classic Valentine's gift is chocolate. Get yourself a box of fancy chocolate and indulge. Tip: if you go to the store February 15th, all the Valentine's Day chocolate will be on sale.

4. Have a movie night.

Search Netflix for a new movie, get some junk food, and take some time to relax. Invite your other single friends over too.

5. Get dressed up!

Just because you don't have a date doesn't mean you can't dress up. Get dressed up and take some selfies and post them. #DontNeedNoMan

6. Order take out.

Order your favorite take out, whether it be Chinese food, pizza, or even a salad. Invite some friends over and eat together (so you don't have to go out and see all the couples).

7. Make yourself dinner.

Everyone has a favorite dinner. Take time to make yourself your favorite dish and enjoy it alone or with friends. Or look up a new recipe and have some fun making it.

8. Do some shopping.

Spring is right around the corner, which calls for some new outfits. Plus, there's a ton of sales because of the season change. Get yourself something new.


9. Color or draw.

There are tons of adult coloring books and free online coloring pages to print. Draw a cool picture or pattern. Break out the colored pencils or markers and go to town. Once you're done, hang it up somewhere.

10. Catch up on sleep.

Life can be hectic, stressful, and busy so getting a good night of sleep can be hard sometimes. Make yourself comfy and go to sleep early!

11. Redecorate or reorganize.

If you're bored with your bedroom or any other room where you live, take some time to redecorate, reorganize, or rearrange everything. Change is good!

12. Bake something.

Baking can be so much fun and so relaxing. Find a new recipe, put on some music, and start baking!

13. Workout.

Whether it's at home or at the gym, a nice workout can make you feel a lot better. Take a run, do yoga, lift weights, or go to a class.

14. Do something you enjoy!

Read a book, write, watch makeup tutorials, do a craft, or do a puzzle. Just do something that you enjoy doing, especially if you usually don't have time to do it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
