Don’t tell me you’re going to binge-watch SGIT (skinny girl in transit), To All the Boys, a sappy romantic movie or maybe just work yourself out and later sleep the day off.
You only live once and it should be enjoyed to the fullest capacity. Ditch moping around the house feeling sorry for not having a boo or bae to spend the day with when you could practice this thing called SELF LOVE for a change. Learn to enjoy all by yourself cause If you don’t love yourself now then who will.
No one should rain on your parade. You’re totally going to have an amazing day.
Besides who says Valentine’s Day should be enjoyed by lovers only?, Singles can have fun too.
MY TOP 5 IDEAS TO HAVING AN AMAZING VALENTINE’S DAY
Go Shopping
I’m sure there’s a dress you’ve been eyeing, a pair of shoes you want to have so badly, oh I know that nice weave you love so much. Don’t worry, stores are open for Valentine’s day sales. Splurge a little bit on yourself cause you totally deserve it. Besides, there’s no one you’re buying a gift for anyway.
Visit The Spa
Nothing lifts anyone’s spirit better than a day at the spa. This is a good time to book an appointment, treat yourself to a nice massage and enjoy a relaxing brunch after.
Outing With Friends
Brunching out with friends is a must, there are tons of places you can visit. Nice restaurant around your area, amazing dishes to try out. Perhaps you have a favorite spot or have a new one in mind, this could be a perfect day to try them out. Plus, you get to play dress-up, mix and match new outfits (ditch the red and white please), don’t forget to go easy on the makeup (you’ll thank me later).
( I have a few recommendations for those in Lagos, hit me up in the comment section)
Throw A Slumber Party
There’s nothing like a slumber party with lots of junk food, movies, gossip, and board or video games. Invite your single friends over cause they’re probably sitting around their houses being miserable and praying for February 14th to just rollover. Put them out of their misery by calling them over. Trust me it will be a blast.
Night-Out With The Girls
Go out with your friends for some cocktails, expensive wines, etc if you missed out on the brunching. Basically, nightlife wining and dining. Besides you get the rock that new dress you just bought. Here, you get to go bold on your makeup especially your lips, ditch the nude and gloss (to all nude lovers myself included).
Never Ever
Make the mistake of scrolling through social media, you can do that the next day. This is not the time to see couples kissing and being cute, you’ll only end up getting depressed.
Text your ex, you broke up for a reason. Don’t be deceived by the thought of lovers’ day and the loneliness you feel, that’s why you have your best friends around. Texting or calling your ex will definitely come back to bite you in the butt and we do not want that.
Enjoy the day alone or with your friends Don’t forget to take lots of pictures too (you’ll have something to laugh about later).
The 14th is just like any other day but it’s the perfect excuse to enjoy some alone time and make memories with your friends. Gladly it’s on a Friday so no rushing to work the next day. Let’s Parte after Parte *wink.
But (with an extra TTT) if you’re like me who may end up canceling plans with the girls, then you’re more than welcome to join in on watching SGIT (new season on Friday ), To all the Boys (on Netflix from today) and later catch-up with my Turkish series. With that, I’m booked and busy for the 14th
Stop waiting for last-minute bae or boo to surprise you. Surprise yourself and enjoy being single while it lasts. Who knows, maybe next year I’ll be writing on ideas to enjoy February 14th with your bae or boo. *wink.
