Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day! Honestly, I’ve never been that big into this holiday – no matter if I’m single or not. The introvert in me doesn’t like attention, which comes with being in a relationship on Valentine’s Day. However, as a person who identifies “gift giving” as my top love language, V-Day can have it’s high points. lol Still, over the years, I’ve found that the best way for me to enjoy the day of love is to focus on doing things that I love. Most Valentine’s Day ideas that you can do for you fall under self-care, which works for me.
So, keep reading to see my list of things that I’ve done for myself on Valentine’s Day. Remember, these are things you can do regardless of your relationship status and can be done all year.

Many years ago, an older lady gave a piece of advice regarding Valentine’s Day. She told me to buy myself something every Valentine’s Day – rather I’m single or not. Now, it’s rarely anything super extravagant, but I have spoiled myself a couple of times. Although I’m one of those people that could care less about Valentine’s Day, I still try to do something special for me. I think of it as self-care, plus it helps remove the feeling of expecting someone to give you an amazing gift. It’s okay to look for gifts to give yourself.
I mean, you can still want it, but what if you give yourself something first? *shrugs* Anyway, keep reading to see 5 gifts to give yourself for Valentine’s Day. However, these are also amazing gifts to receive. So, feel free to send this post to drop a few hints to someone special.

As someone who grew up very shy and insecure, the road to self-love was a bumpy trip. The road to not only loving myself, but appreciating what I offer to the world and people was strengthen by learning how to date yourself. Once I did that, I couldn’t NOT love myself. Afterwards, that led me to having some pretty good relationships and knowing when to let bad relationships end. When you love yourself, you learn to nurture the things you need and easily remove the things you don’t. It’s a crazy good feeling and characteristic to have in life.
I first heard about the concept of “dating yourself” years ago on an episode of ‘Living Single’ when Regine and Max both had a hard time finding a significant other. So, they each attended a seminar where the “self-help” guru encouraged them to “date themselves” Now, preteen me thought it was stupid, but grown AF me after enduring crappy “situationship” decided to give it a try. After a few awkward solo drinks at a bar and solo Saturday breakfast dates, I totally got it. After that, I started looking for others ways to woo myself that were easy and could be done on the whim.
If you are looking for sweet ways to treat and/or date yourself on a daily basis, then keep reading.
