Paint and sip

Grab a canvas, some paint, maybe a bottle of wine, and have a painting party with some friends or with your partner. It’s a fun way to spend the evening and afterwards, you’ll have a beautiful piece of art to hang in your home.

Pottery

If you’re feeling crafty, try your hand at pottery. Create unique pieces to decorate your home or give as gifts to friends and family.

Enjoy a rom-com

Binge-watch some of your favourite romantic comedies. From “When Harry Met Sally” to “The Notebook” to “500 Days of Summer”, these movies can give you a good laugh and make you feel good whether you’re watching solo or with a loved one.

Journal

Take time to reflect on your life and what you want by writing down your thoughts and feelings in a journal.

Being single on Valentine’s Day can be a great opportunity to focus on yourself and your happiness. Embrace your single status and enjoy the freedom and independence that comes with it.

Just relax

Lastly, remember to give yourself some rest. Take a nap, relax and recharge your batteries.

And don’t forget that the day after Valentine’s Day is when all the candy goes on sale. So, stock up on your favourite treats and enjoy!
