10 Valentine’s Ideas for Women

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to mean a date night. Here are 10 ideas for ways to celebrate the season without a significant other.

Host a Galentine’s Party: Gather a group of girlfriends for a fun night

Plan a date – for yourself: Schedule a manicure, a massage, a facial – anything to pamper yourself. Then go to the mall, a coffeeshop or a bookstore and browse. Basically, a day just for you!

Buy Valentine’s pajamas: There’s something about a new pair of pajamas that just makes you feel good. Don’t miss the In My Sundays launch this weekend.

Make a new recipe: Try cooking something new in the kitchen. Only requirement, it has to have a red ingredient. You’ll nourish your body and soul with the slowness of cooking.

Buy yourself flowers: Yes, just like Miley said to do. You don’t need to wait for someone else to buy you flowers. Pick some up the next time you are at the grocery store. Also, did you know if you pick out flowers at Whole Foods, they will arrange them for you?

Take a creative class: The winter months mean lots of fun and creative Valentine’s themed classes. Search for some in your area and sign up! A few I love in Nashville include Handmade Studio, Sew Nash and Nashville Glasshaus.

Go to therapy: One of the best ways to love yourself is to work on yourself, so schedule a therapy appointment for this month.

Watch a chick flick: You know that movie you’ve seen 100 times and never get sick of? Watch that. And if you are lonely, invite a friend over to watch it with you.

Go out to lunch or dinner with friends: Life is busy and lonely. Reach out to a friend and schedule a lunch date.

Do something for someone else: It always feels better to give than to receive. Who can you surprise with flowers, a treat or even a thoughtful card.

I hope this inspires you to make Valentine’s Day your own!
