Happy Valentine's Day! (Singles Edition)

It’s that time of year again, where a cheesy couple appears on every corner and every kiss makes you want to vomit. Being single probably sounds like the worst especially on V-day but good news! There are so many other ways to spice up your day, whether you want to stay at home or party out. You don't have to be dating anyone to enjoy the holiday; here are some ideas on what you can do to treat yourself (because you deserve it, bbg)!

1.      Movie night with the gang.

Invite some close friends and have a ‘potluck’ by having each friend bring different snacks and drinks. Set up a bunch of pillows and blankets and watch some non-romantic movies, preferably horror, thriller, action or older movies from the 1900’s. Watching your favourite YouTube videos and childhood shows/movies are also an option.

2.      Pamper yourself I.

Clear up a space in your bedroom – or living room/basement if you’re going to be home alone – and set out some warm blankets and pillows, candles, some magazines and maybe a few healthy snacks to fully cleanse your system. Play your favourite chill out or party music, grab a book or find a movie to watch. Find your inner self and just relax!

3.      Pamper yourself II.

Have a nice bubble bath! Bring a plank of wood or anything that can balance stably on your bathtub and bring a book or magazine, a candle, put on some relaxing music and fill the room with warm scents.

4.      Dress up.

Dress up in fancy clothes or go out of your comfort zone with anything you’d like and go out! Some options are movie theatres, cafes, fancy restaurants or even a fast food restaurant. Who cares if you silly? That`s the point! This is a special day and people should stare!

5.      Explore your town/city.

Pick up a camera and wear comfy shoes because you can explore your city. There are so many places that you can discover that you’d never know of, like vintage shops, cafes, organic shops, antique stores, forests – just about anything! After that, you’ll have a bunch of places you can go to for future meet ups.

6.      Secret valentine.

It’s exactly how it sounds like! Much like secret Santa, get a group of friends and pick names from a hat. From there, either write pick-up lines or sneak them into your Valentine’s bag or pencil case, or make a V-Day card and get each other cute secret admirer gifts.

Well, there you have it! Be creative and have fun while you`re still free! ;)
