1523

It’s February and love is in the air! We’re still a week shy from Valentine’s Day, but we’re bound to spot flowers being sold around the streets, Valentine’s decorations, social media posts and promos about where to spend the day. Meanwhile, If you’re single and ready or not to mingle, it’s just an ordinary day–and that’s okay! There’s no room to feel lonely and unhappy! If you’re figuring out how to go by this Valentine’s Day, here are a few suggestions.

Self love

Don’t worry if you don’t have someone to date on Vday; you always have yourself. If you’re feeling a little lonely, treat yourself to your favorite meal or focus on what you know will make yourself happy on that day(or any other day, really!). Remember that you don’t need someone to be truly happy on Valentine’s or any day because after all, self love is the most important type of love.

Girls Night Out

This one’s for the girls: It so happens that the 14th falls on a Wednesday! This calls for a weekday GNO with the beshies! You can hit up new restaurants around the metro, go for an unli wine spree, or on a dessert binge. The best relationships are those with your comfort and go to friends with the lovely company of delectable food.
