I’M WEARING; DRESS: ASOS SHOES: ZARA BAG: MANGO RING: PANDORA
As
much of many of us (single or not) may try our hardest to, there’s just no
getting away from the commercial cliché, which is Valentine’s Day. I’ve never
really been in a relationship and so I’ve always been single on Valentine’s
Day, so I’ve definitely mastered the art of being single on the day, which is heavily
focused on couples. So, if like me, and many others, you’re finding yourself
single on what is actually, just another day, I thought I’d share how I’m
most likely going to be spending the day.
| SPEND IT WITH YOUR GALS OR GUYS
If
there’s a group of your friends who are single, just spend it with each other
and have a great time going out for a meal, going clubbing or just staying in
and enjoying each other’s company whilst watching a film or some trashy TV
programmes I don’t get a chance to do it often, but when I do, I love spending
time with my friends, even if it’s talking about complete and utter nonsense. This
time last year, I worked all day and then went to the cinema with a friend to
see Fifty Shades, because why on earth not?!
| TREAT YOURSELF
Like
I said, Valentine’s Day is just another opportunity for brands to sell you a shed
load of chocolates and huge teddy bears that you quite frankly, don’t want, need
nor have space for. That being said, some people are a little more extravagant
with their gift and I personally love to use Valentine’s Day as an excuse to
treat myself. Last year, I bought myself a something small from Louis Vuitton
and the year before I bought myself a couple of rings from Pandora. In my mind
I justify it by saying that I don’t have anyone else to buy something for, and
there’s no one to get me anything (obviously Valentine’s Day and love isn’t
about gifts, but hang on here) so I just get myself something.
| FOCUS ON
SELF CARE
This
is probably the most important thing that should be practiced whether you’re in
a relationship or not and 24/7, all 365 days of the year. Self-care can come in
so many different forms and is subjective to the individual. This may be having
a nice hot bath with a Lush bath bomb, sitting in bed and reading a book,
meditating, whatever floats your boat. I tend to love an evening full to the
brim of pamper prep. This is everything from washing my hair, doing my nails,
doing a face mask and having a lovely hot bath whilst watching a bit of
Netflix.
How
are you spending Valentine’s Day?
