I have been single for going on 7 years (I know shock
right!) but I am fussy and if I have to be honest I am terribly scared to get
into a relationship. Anyway that is a topic for another day. Being single for
so long, I know how to celebrate Valentine’s Day on my own. I don’t need a man
to buy me chocolates and flower, hell I can do that by myself. Seeing as though
Valentine’s Day is on a Sunday I thought I would make a list of all the things
you can do by yourself. Ways you can pamper and spend time with yourself.
Starting the day
When you wake up, run yourself a hot bath adding a lush bath
bomb, and relax in the bath. Shave and exfoliate your whole body. When you get
out your bath, lavish your body in a beautiful body butter and apply a stunning
makeup look. Do your hair and spray your favorite perfume.
Take yourself out for breakfast
Once you look like a million bucks, go for breakfast at your
favorite breakfast spot. Order anything you want from the menu. Hell if you
want to order the most lavish item from the menu go ahead. Order your favorite
cup of coffee or go ahead and order a glass of champagne. This is your day so
you can have anything on the menu.
Book a day at the spa
It doesn’t have to be a whole day, but you can book a
massage, manicure or pedicure. Let the hands of the experts work away all the
stress you may have. When you decide on colours for your manicure, choose a
colour you wouldn’t really go for. A
bright purple or full glitter. Do the same with your toes.
Enjoy a late lunch with some shopping
After you beauty treatments, go have some retail therapy,
followed by a late lunch. Wonder into your favorite boutiques and try on a few
pieces. If you see something you love buy it. Why not also buy yourself a
beautiful Pandora charm to celebrate your first Valentine’s Day alone. It is
something to be celebrated after all. Then enjoy a late lunch at a cafe. Again
go ahead and order your favorite meal. Order the wine and the caviar.
Go watch your favorite movie
While you are at the mall, why not catch a movie. I know it
will probably be full of lovely dovey couples but rather than catching a
romcom, why not rather watch a comedy. Because we are breaking all the diet
rules today, buy yourself the popcorn and the whispers.
Another way you could enjoy this is by getting all your
single girlfriends together and spend the time together. You could also spend
the whole day at a spa together. Why not check out Copperleaf Spa in Zwartkops,
the 12 Apostles Spa in Cape Town or The spa at the Oyster box in Durban North.
Remember spending time with yourself is great for the soul.
It teaches you to value your own company and it also teaches you to love
yourself. You don’t need a man to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Buy yourself
flowers and remember that you are beautiful and if a guy doesn’t see it, that’s
his problem!
Happy Valentine’s Day loves.
