Valentine's Day: Making the Most of a Holiday Designed for Couples
Valentine's Day for the single girls of the world can be a rough time, but it doesn’t have to be. Think of this as a day to appreciate and focus on your love for yourself and doing things that make you happy. Below are some creative inspirations for a single girl on Valentine's Day.
1. Have a Self-Care Night
Have you even opened those bath bombs and face masks that were in your Christmas stocking? It’s time to treat yourself to a warm bath and use all the good stuff. If you’re not a bath girl, a steamy shower can be just as therapeutic! Stop by the drugstore or Bath & Body Works and grab some eucalyptus and spearmint shower steamers.
2. Host a Galentine’s Party
Have single friends? Perfect! Share the love with your best gals. Get dolled up for drinks and dinner at a new place. Get a group together and go bowling! Take it back old school and head to the local skating rink. Throw a little low-key soirée and have a night with the ladies, pot-luck snack style, and binge some rom-coms.
3. Cook Your Favorite Meal or Order Takeout
Have a recipe you’ve been wanting to try out? Valentine’s Day is the perfect day for judgement free cooking. There are some especially easy and delicious recipes on TikTok for the novice chef. Just give it a shot; you may find your new favorite dinner!
4. Soothe Your Sweet-tooth!
Valentine’s Day is the day to let yourself enjoy the sweet life. Bake some cookies or dip some strawberries in melted chocolate. Insomnia Cookies also has some special Valentine’s flavors they are offering right now. For a limited time they have the Red Velvet Classic, the Chocolate Covered Strawberry Classic and my personal favorite, the Deluxe Filled Lava cake filled with a Ghiradelli chocolate filling.
5. Commune with Nature
Being in nature is a great way to relax, connect with yourself, and find peace. One way to commune with nature is to take a walk outside in a park or nature setting. Take the time to really take in your surroundings, sights, sounds, and smells of the natural environment. You can also take a moment to sit in silence and observe the wildlife and plants around you.
