Who said spending Valentine’s day alone should be lonely? Solitude can be beautiful: finding happiness in yourself, keeping your calm by embracing the peace and quiet, and being able to express your true self without fear. That said, we have created a checklist for you to prepare for your “me time” on Valentine’s day because you need to love yourself first before anyone else. 😉 We also included a link to Shopee for each item so you can buy them and make sure you’re all set!

7. Body Care
People often talk about skincare referring to facial cleansers and moisturizers, but we still have plenty skin in our body that also needs tending. If you haven’t been giving yourself time lately, use this day to srub stress away! Use a soothing body wash to smoothen and soften all parts of your body and a nourishing lotion afterwards to lock in moisture.

Forget about everything and everyone else, just focus on yourself on Valentine’s Day. Have a nice long bath and really take your time to wash away your worries. Bath bombs can help you with that as it bursts with color, fragrance, and skin-conditioning ingredients to make your alone time worth while.

5. Perfume
Now that you’re completely moisturized, apply your favorite perfume. Most women feel confidently beautiful when wearing one and that’s exactly the kind of feeling that you need on your me-time. Do you know that feeling when a gorgeous lady walks by and you get a whiff of their perfume? This time, you are that gorgeous lady. Perfume actually lasts longer when applied on well-moisturized skin.

1. A glass of wine
…or your beverage of choice. Spending Valentine’s day independently is all about appreciating, accepting, and loving yourself. Knowing that you do not settle for anything less than what you truly deserve is something to celebrate about so cheers to that! The great thing about this is that you get to enjoy your favorite drink all to yourself. Plus points if you drink it in your favorite or even personalized glass. 😉

Some might say that it’s pointless to go through all these preparations when you’re by yourself with no one to appreciate you. However, feeling good about yourself without needing anyone else’s approval is the entire point of “loving yourself.” By being comfortable in your own company and treating yourself the way you want to be treated, your happiness and confidence will radiate the kind of beauty that can attract the right person for you. <3
