A Singleton’s Guide to the Day
- Make February 14th a “Girls Day”: treat your nearest and dearest female pals to a day of relaxation. Indulge yourself with a spa day of girly treats- manicures, pedicures, facials, you name it. This doesn’t have to be expensive and can be done in the comfort of your own room, meaning dressing gowns and pyjamas are the perfect dress code. Pamper yourselves, you deserve it!
- Enjoy that single Status: Being single is fabulous! Take advantage of the fact that you are single and ready to mingle and head to Arena to check out the available talent. Who knows what a cheeky kiss could lead too- next V-day you could be anything but single, the possibilities are endless.
- Revel in your Anti-Valentine’s Mood: Embrace your single status and go to a party that celebrates singletons. Think of the piñata scene in the film Valentine’s Day and you have hit the nail on the head with this one. Enjoy what the day has to offer- you are only young once so seize the day and night.
- Throw a Traditional Slumber Party with your Friends: crack open the ice cream, pop your popcorn and put on your favourite movie! You don’t have to be cramped in a restaurant surrounded by other couples, to enjoy a romantic evening-get the friends round and pig out!
- Celebrate other types of equally important love: Valentine’s Day shouldn’t just celebrate romantic love. Use the day to celebrate the love of family, friends or pets. Take a minute out of your day to make someone’s else’s just that little bit more special, in order to let them know you are thinking about them.
- Try to Be Positive: Being unattached on February 14 can be a good thing. After all the day is just about what you make it so in order to enjoy it, you just have to know how to celebrate it. Do exactly as you please- it is just another day after all!
February 14th is not just Valentine’s day- it is perhaps even more importantly “Single Awareness Day” An alternative holiday that celebrates those who are single and ready to mingle! Wear green (the opposite of the traditional V-day red) and celebrate your unattached status!
If all else fails and you are feeling decidedly depressed- we suggest you check out “How to survive Valentine’s Day alone.” It will be surely lift your spirits and help to make this your ultimate Valentine’s day.
