How To Show Yourself Some Love This Valentine’s Day!

While Valentines is supposed to be all about 

flowers, chocolates and cards

 that show how much someone cares, for those of us who are single – or this year, unable to see their loved one - it can be a pretty miserable day. 

If this is you, don’t fret. There’s no reason to be down at all. Because there are 

plenty of ways to 

feel the 

love

 this February 14th. From taking some quiet time to yourself to catching up with the girls, here are our 

top tips on showing yourself some self-love this Valentine

s

.

1. Pamper Yourself

 

At Glossy HQ, our 

ultimate form of 

self-love

 is by far an at home pamper

. Grab yourself a face mask, a manicure kit, your favourite nail polish, and whatever other beauty buys you love and get comfy. Put on your favourite film (romcom or not!), 

sit back

,

 relax

 and pamper

. You deserve it! 

2. Get A Sweat On

 

Want to perk up your mood? Do a workout. Might seem like an odd suggestion for Valentine’s, but 

increasing your heart rate

 is a fool proof way of 

releasing

 endorphins and giving yourself a dopamine boost. 

And make it fun – don't force yourself to do a workout you won’t enjoy. Whether it’s fast paced HIIT, a dance around your living room with Zumba or a more relaxing yoga session, 

n

o one has ever felt worse 

after getting a sweat on

!

 

3. Catch Up

With

 

The

 Girls

 

Don’t feel alone solely because your social media feeds are packed full of people sharing their love with their other halves. 

Organise a 

catch up

 call with your bezzies or maybe even your family

, and have a good old gossip. We know there are so many other people in your life who you love, so show them how much you care! 

4. Remind Yourself What You’re Grateful For

 

It’s easy – especially when things are hard – to focus on the things you don’t have. But we’re sure 

you have loads of things that are wonderful in your life.

 Maybe you’ve got the best girls in you squad, your 

career is going from strength to strength, or simply you’ve got some wonderful little things to look forward to in the coming months. Remind yourself of the things

you’re grateful for

 on a regular basis and we guarantee things won’t ever feel too bad. 

5. Buy Yourself A

Valentine’s 

Gift

 

Whether it’s a bunch of blooms for your living room table or some chocolates to indulge on in the evening (or maybe even subscribing yourself to GLOSSYBOX!), 

don’t wait around for someone else to gift you something that’ll make you smile

. Do it yourself! Being solo doesn’t mean you should go without!

I'm someone who loves getting glammed up, but I feel like I never have enough time. Frequently running between work, the gym and seeing friends means my makeup routine is quick and often touched up on the go. Therefore, beauty products that serve as multi-purpose are perfect for me - a blush that works for cheeks and lips is a must in my makeup bag!
