1. Treat yo' self
Does this not look super decadent and wonderful? It's also meant for one, so how can you go wrong! Indulge your sweet tooth without having to leave the house. Check out the recipe at Completely Delicious.
2. Mix up a Drink
I am a fan of having a drink on the weekend & since Valentine's Day falls on a Saturday this year, a drink (or three) is fair game! Here we have a simple, yummy drink dubbed an Anti-Valentine's drink - Valentine's Day on the Rocks.
1.5 oz. Cherry Vodka
4 oz. Ginger Ale
Splash of Grenadine
Cherry to top (optional)
If vodka isn't your style, there's always wine. My personal favourite white is Casasole, an Italian Orvieto ($14.99 CAD).
3. Have a soak
Grab yourself a fun bath item or two and jump right in! I personally LOVE Lush bath products and they have some great Valentine's offerings like the Lonely Heart (pictured above). If Lush isn't an option, every drugstore has a great selection of bath bombs, bubble baths & essential oils - for whatever your taste may be!
4. A Gift? Why Not!
Gifts are not always for others, they can be given to yourself! Some fun ideas might be a new face mask, if you're into beauty things, a new outfit for a fashionista or a new read for a book lover! & if you're feeling especially like treating yourself, why not all three? A book or a mask will go well with a cozy night in with yourself, and so will an outfit if it's a new Pj set!
No matter whether you choose some of my ideas or if you have ideas of your own, it's fun to spend a night alone once in a while and really learn how to enjoy your own company. If being alone really isn't going to fly this year, round up some girl friends and go check out the new 50 Shades of Gray movie...that's sure to be entertaining, or awkward.
What will you be doing this Valentine's Day? Let me know!
Cheers,
