14 Ways to Show Yourself Some Love This Valentine’s Day

Whether you’re single or in a relationship, the big question of what to do on Valentine’s Day comes up every year. Though some couples may celebrate by trying Valentine’s Day sex positions or writing love letters to each other, you should use the holiday as an opportunity to feel loved and cared for (however that looks for you).

Maybe it’s an all-day movie marathon spent buried in a pile of pillows. Maybe it’s ordering yourself flowers. Or maybe your ideal solo Valentine’s Day means getting a manicure followed by a reservation for one at your favorite restaurant. Truly, the activities you can do alone on Valentine’s Day are endless.

Even though the commercial holiday heavily centers romantic love between couples, in reality, love comes in myriad other forms. Take the holiday of love as a day to show yourself some of that love you pour into everyone and everything else. You don’t need a date idea or even a firm reason to have a good time; you just need you and whatever makes you feel loved, happy, inspired, and excited.

If you’re confused as to what to do on the Feb. 14 holiday, here are 14 things to do alone on Valentine’s Day.
