Valentine’s day is all about love, and it is so important to love yourself first and always! For all of my queens who are solo this Valentine’s Day, I hope you spend the day celebrating by showing yourself some extra love! Keep reading for ideas to love yourself on Valentine’s Day.
1. Buy yourself flowers.
You don’t have to worry about anyone picking out the right bouquet because you know exactly what you like!
2. Let yourself be a little lazy.
If you are taking the day to love yourself, you do what you want! Don’t feel pressured to do anything, and put your chores on hold for the day. In other words, use Valentine’s Day as a mental health day. There are so many benefits to taking a mental health day, which you can read about here.
3. Order takeout.
Another way to love yourself this Valentine’s day is deciding that you don’t need to cook tonight! Splurge on yourself by ordering a nice dinner, and then enjoy the relaxing night staying in without any FOMO at all. Food delivery apps like DoorDash tend to have specials on this holiday too, so you don’t even have to go get it!
4. Have a girl’s night.
If you are more of a social butterfly, then have a girl’s night with all of your single ladies who love you! Valentine’s day is the perfect excuse to pop open a bottle of prosecco and party the night away.
5. Pamper yourself.
Another option for a low-key day is to pamper yourself however you choose. For example, you apply a face mask, take a bubble bath, get your nails done, or get a massage. Love yourself by pampering yourself.
6. Watch all of the chick flicks you want.
For those of you who have been in a relationship with a man, you may understand the struggle of him *sighing* at the thought of watching your favorite girly movies. This Valentine’s Day, you love yourself! You don’t have to compromise on any movie, because you can watch the ones you want.
7. Allow yourself a cheat night on healthy eating.
When you go on an actual date on Valentine’s Day, you may be conscious of avoiding that bloated feeling from a heavy meal. Well, not when your date night plan is to love yourself! In that case, throw on your sweatpants tonight and allow yourself to dive into a box of luxurious chocolates or desserts.
