10 ways to treat yourself this Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is almost here and while many people dread this day, don’t let being single stop you from celebrating.

The 14th of February is a great excuse to pamper yourself, so why not take this opportunity to spend some time and money on you!

Here are some ideas on how make the most out of the day:

• Take yourself on a date - whether it be to the movies, to dinner or to the beach, why not do something different and enjoy your own company for a while.
• If you don’t want to be alone, you could plan a night out with your single friends. You could even buy each other flowers or presents. 
• Buy some new skincare products and give yourself a spa day. Check out the range at Sephora, Big W or Kmart. 
• Take yourself shopping - you don’t need someone else to buy you gifts. If you have some extra cash, why not go shopping and treat yourself? You may even stumble upon some Valentine’s Day sales!
• Have a night in and order some takeaway and watch your favourite movie. 
• Go get a massage - indulge and book yourself in for a relaxing massage.
• Get your nails done - treat yourself to a manicure or even do them yourself. 
• Bake something - test your culinary skills by trying to bake something new that you can enjoy later. 
• Plan a solo trip you want to go on so you have something to look forward to!
• Get an early night and catch up on much needed rest!
