So, you found yourself flying solo on Valentine’s Day because you are single and thought the day was only meant for people who are in romantic relationships. Newsflash! I’m here to tell you that it is totally fine and normal to have a great time alone on February 14. Here are six fabulous ways you can still have an amazing time all by yourself since we are still in the Valentine’s spirit.
1. Treat Yourself to a Spa Day
Whip out your UBA debit card, book a luxurious spa session this weekend with Oriki and pamper yourself like royalty. Indulge in a facial, a massage, or simply soak in a bubble bath surrounded by scented candles and soothing music. There’s nothing like a little self-care to make you feel like the queen or king that you are. Check out UBA’s Valentine’s offerings to see how you can enjoy amazing discounts this season.
2. Have a Movie Marathon
Grab your favourite snacks, cosy up on the couch, and queue up a lineup of your all-time favourite movies or binge-watch on REDTV, seasons 1 and 2 of the hilarious rom-com, When Are We Getting Married? Whether you’re into rom-coms, action flicks, or documentaries, the power to choose what to watch is entirely in your hands.
3. Dine Out Solo
If you don’t mind the stares of the coupled-up people this weekend, then treat yourself to a delicious meal at your favourite restaurant alone. Embrace the opportunity to savour every bite without having to share or compromise on the menu. Leave a little room for that dessert you’ve been eyeing and enjoy every last spoonful guilt-free.
4. Get Creative
Channel your inner Michelangelo and spend this weekend, engaging in creative activities. Whether you enjoy painting, writing, crafting, or playing music, this Valentine’s weekend is the perfect time to let your creativity flow. Express yourself without inhibition and bask in the freedom of self-expression.
5. Take Yourself on an Adventure
Embark on a solo adventure to a park, beach or new city to discover new sights and sounds. Take all the necessary safety precautions as a solo fun seeker and have yourself a fantastic time this Valentine’s season.
6. Host a Singles’ Soiree
Gather your single friends for a fun-filled evening of laughter, games, and camaraderie. Organise a karaoke competition or host a movie night complete with popcorn and themed cocktails. Plan a potluck dinner, where everyone gets to bring some food and drink. That way, there’ll be enough to eat and drink and it will ease the financial burden of catering for everyone by yourself. Celebrate the beauty of friendship this season.
So there you have it—six fabulous ways to enjoy Valentine’s on your own. Embrace your independence, revel in self-love, and make this season one to remember.
