Valentine's Day.
No matter how overly-commercialised, cringe-worthy, or just plain overrated it has become, we have all been subjected to the 'love is in the air' vibe of February the 14th.
I am one of those women who has to spend the most loved-up day of the year single. But thankfully I have someone awesome to share it with! and so do you, Damsel!
What better way to spend Valentine's day absolutely indulged in, focused-on, and loved-up with yourself?!
Be your own Valentine!
I've compiled a list of lustworthy ideas for all you Damsels out there who are spending Thursday the 14th solo. Pick one or two; or carry-out every single idea on the list and have an absolutely amazing day!!
x. Whip up yourself an indulgent breakfast; pancakes with ice cream, a bowl of creamy yoghurt and fresh berries, bacon and eggs arranged into a smiley face-YUM.
o. Give yourself a bright and glittery manicure.
x. Spend the day in a bubble bath. Glass of champagne and choccies optional.
o. Buy a bunch of flowers and post it to yourself. Sign it with 'From your biggest admirer.x'
x. Bake a batch of love-heart shaped cookies and ice it with cute words/sayings and give them to your friends/family/co-workers.
o. Have a sweat-sesh at the gym. (you will feel awesome afterward!)
x. Visit a loved-one. Your grandmother/favourite aunt/a friend you haven't spoken to in a while.
o. Take your pet to the park and basque in the sunshine.
x. Have a Facebook-free day. Seriously, who wants to scroll through a news-feed that is all choked up with love-sick couples and gooey statuses? I don't!
o. Wear your most favourite outfit and a pair of sky-high heels.
x. Wear bright red or pink lipstick.
o. Arrange a dinner-date with one of your single mates. Order take-out, watch a stack of DVDs, give eachother facials.
x. Slather yourself in cocoa butter and slip into your most comfortable sweats.
o. Think of all the amazing things you are now able to do without the nagging of an other-half.
x. Watch your favourite chick-flick whilst curled up in bed with a mug of hot chocolate. I reccommend Clueless, Bridesmaids, 27 Dresses, He's Just Not That Into You, or my recent fave- Valley Of The Dolls (an oldie but a goodie)
o. Kick-back with a glass of bubbly and your favourite book.
x. Write a love-letter to yourself. List all the awesome qualities you possess, what you love about yourself, and all the goals and dreams you wish to achieve.
o. Know that things are going to get better.
I'll be doing all of these. Happy Valentines Day!
xx.
