Valentine’s Day Should Include Self Love 💗 How Do You Plan To Show Yourself Some Love This Valentines Day?

missdanielleyy · 2021-01-25T07:06:25+00:00

I know it's silly, but I've always wanted someone to buy me one of those stupid heart shaped boxes of chocolates! So I'm buying myself one! 💝

Ngwanuza · 2021-01-25T07:04:40+00:00

I'm booking myself a massage and treating myself to a bottle of perfume.

justwondering551 · 2021-01-25T07:48:47+00:00

I’m going to do my makeup full glam, buy myself my favorite dark chocolate truffles, and end the day with a nice face mask and bath! Will probably light candles too. I’m also planning to buy flowers for and make treats for my mom. Just things that make me feel amazing and pampered and remind the women in my life that they’re cherished and loved.

entpgirl415 · 2021-01-25T14:39:19+00:00

I’m joining in on the trend to buy myself a nice ring 😁

Hateorade_ · 2021-01-25T15:48:28+00:00

me and my best friends are going to an expensive ass Italian restaurant and dressing up cute LOLLL

LockLimePie · 2021-01-25T17:45:17+00:00

I am going to buy myself a white sapphire ring!

chasingastarl1ght · 2021-01-26T21:39:46+00:00

I spent all my life telling my previous partners as a former "cool girl" that I wanted nothing for Valentine's Day cause it was just a commercial holiday blah blah.

So my self love this year was telling my current SO that I wanted everything - the whole VD package. And that I wanted to plan absolutely none of it.

shelballama · 2021-01-25T14:09:47+00:00

Pre covid i once did a "Pal-entine's" Day where I invited a bunch of friends over and we did pulled pork tacos. That not being doable for 99% of the world right now, I'm recommending maybe getting some wine, picking up a new book you'd like to read, renting a movie, ordering takeout and buying some bath bubbles/bath salts/ candles for a long and luxurious bath :)

Okayyy👑

So a few days before I’m going to get my nails done, red with jewels. I feel like a badass with nails on.

The night before I’m going to get myself roses to wake up next to.

That day, I’m going to do my makeup and dance in the mirror to my favorite music.

I’m going to cook myself a meal, or maybe just buy my fav:)

I’m going to take a hot bath after work with a lush bath bomb and a salt soak.

P.s I’ve been wanting to buy myself a promise ring to continue to focus on investing in myself. I’m going to go shopping that week for it.

Apparently I have a gift card for a massage from my parents, and I’m gonna do that too.

Treat yourselves💓

asoww · 2021-01-25T09:48:20+00:00

I want to buy delicious food and chocolate And watch a romcom

cloudless-blanket · 2021-01-25T17:51:35+00:00

Buying flowers and chocolate for my BFF! I'm a giver, heart and soul, and I feel so much fulfillment in giving gifts. So I'm making sure from here forth I only give to those who are deserving 😎

And then for myself, I'm going to take a nice bath with some bath salts, burn some candles, pour myself a glass of wine, and probably set up my laptop on a stool (awaaaay from the water) so I can watch a movie as I soak. It will probably be Pride & Prejudice.

2021-01-25T12:11:35+00:00

flowers, some nice wine & takeout from my favorite restaurant.

daisy_0720 · 2021-01-26T10:32:33+00:00

I'm celebrating by getting new flooring in my house that weekend. A much better investment of my money than going 50-50 with some stingy dude.

Bitchbasic · 2021-01-25T09:51:03+00:00

doing a baking day with a friend 💞 over facetime because even though she’s been vaccinated, I haven’t been & she’s at risk to be a carrier with her job. probably gonna make a cute pink cake! linking up with another friend later in the day to do a cutesy pink photoshoot

petitpoupee · 2021-01-25T19:05:32+00:00

I’ll get myself a red velvet cake and will do an at home spa day. A hot bath with rose water and Himalayan sea salt. Can’t wait for it🌸

Mayonegg420 · 2021-01-26T20:47:16+00:00

Getting sushi, spa day at home, getting a mani/pedi, treating myself to a new perfume, and buying flowers/delivering treats to my best girlfriends in the neighborhood! Queen Latifah is one of my favorites so I think Imma have a marathon with all of her romcoms!

I love this community. I was getting anxious about Valentines (because men have ruined it for me) and I’ve been seeing a guy and my therapist told me to “give him a chance to show up”. I’m sure he won’t. So this post is getting me VERY excited!!!!

souredskittles · 2021-01-26T01:22:27+00:00

1 carat solitaire diamond necklace to match my earrings :) Although I should buy it now before the one I want is out of stock by valentines

Madholley · 2021-01-25T20:10:24+00:00

Get up early, get in a badass workout, take a long walk, make a healthy lunch, do things that bring me joy (organize my space, clean, practice yoga, donate things I don’t need), and then a long hot bath with a good book and a facemask. No man could ever give me the joy I give myself in making healthy choices!! Think about what makes you the happiest and do that!!

Mind-Objective · 2021-01-25T19:56:17+00:00

Going to a ski resort with my two single friends :)

Gasperca · 2021-01-27T00:35:29+00:00

I hated VD as I would usually end up disappointed. Last one I spent fighting with LVX.

So this one (thanks for great ideas in the comments!) I am going to be spending alone and I am actually looking forward to it!

The 'promise ring' idea from one of you really struck, so I am going to buy myself one, to promise myself that this year I am focusing on me, my goals and my happiness.

I am scheduling a massage from one of the best studios in the city that has been praised for their covid measures and magical hands.

I am going to order in my favorite food - sushi and am going to treat myself to a fat blunt (might be frowned upon here but it is recreational as it helps with my anxiety, which I am afraid might be peaking around this day) and a good romcom.

exhalefierceness · 2021-01-26T21:19:36+00:00

Here’s a list of what I’m planning to do:

Curl my hair, do my make up & wear a cute dress, maybe go to a museum

2.Buy myself flowers + a heart pizza + wine

Go to the park, read some Harry Potter
Write myself a love letter (I used to write love letters to my ex every yearly anniversary)
Facial mask at night & watch a movie of my choice 😄❤️

looking-for-freedom1 · 2021-01-26T03:03:50+00:00

Is there any FDS activity for Valentines?

xocarino · 2021-01-27T04:22:13+00:00

I'm going to make myself a charcuterie board, buy a box of macarons, get my favourite bottle of rosé, buy some concentrates for my pax to smoke up, somehow find a bouquet of blue roses, and listen to a ton of sets from my favourite DJs. None of my partners ever showed up for me, so I'm excited to spoil myself rotten!

Mella_20 · 2021-01-25T21:37:58+00:00

Probably go somewhere nice with my sister 😇😇

_RustInPiece_ · 2021-01-26T17:34:03+00:00

I'm buying myself roses and a beautiful necklace 🌹✨💝

gasolinedrinks · 2021-01-27T22:04:27+00:00

It’s my bday on Valentine’s Day (30) , I spent so many years hoping a guy would get a clue and double pamper me, instead I always got the bare minimum lol. Such a rip off. Never again. I’m going to get a facial, a massage, and order from my favourite tapas and wine bar. If we are allowed to see friends (in alberta Canada, we cannot right now :( then my two girlfriends told me we will do a self love/boudoir photoshoot of me lol.

Lovely__loner · 2021-01-25T09:08:50+00:00

I've never had a Valentine and don't really pay attention to the day... everyday is self love day. ☺️

2021-01-26T16:44:19+00:00

Getting some nice takeout food for me and mom. Can't forget the flowers and a nice dessert 😋

relationship_reddit · 2021-01-26T18:52:24+00:00

I've really been wanting to get myself a ring, but I haven't found one I like yet. Maybe I'll get myself one.

FloozynWoozy · 2021-01-27T06:15:15+00:00

I’m going on a road trip to try and catch the desert blooms with my dog!

PM_ME_YOUR_KITTNZ · 2021-01-27T08:40:50+00:00

I will take the train to our family cabin, stock up on hot chocolate and cream, and snuggle up in front of the fireplace after skiing 😌

roseskb · 2021-01-27T20:08:24+00:00

I’m planning on taking myself out on a spa date and buying the Bottega Veneta padded cassette bag I’ve been wanting! Then smoke a big fat blunt and drink a glass of wine! ❤️

ariaa126 · 2021-01-28T01:44:13+00:00

I’m thinking of booking a massage and maybe visit the museum I’ve been wanting to go to for a while now. Basically spend some me time as I’ve been really busy with work lately.

Sanne592 · 2021-01-25T20:38:13+00:00

Last year my BFF who may even love me more than I love myself was my Valentine. I just send out a card to ask her to be my Valentine again this year. My self-love is spending Valentine with someone who really loves me, doing stuff we both enjoy. I’m gonna bake us a cake and we’re gonna sip some wine with that while we talk the night away. 🍷

shopliftthepooty · 2021-01-25T21:40:31+00:00

I ordered for a gourmet 5-course meal and dessert delivered from a local chef

nebsemi · 2021-01-26T20:33:49+00:00

I once bought myself a rose for Valentine's. Maybe this year I'll buy a bouquet.

Ashitaga · 2021-01-26T23:49:00+00:00

Maybe I'll light some scented candles and have myself a nice dinner with homemade chocolates!

ShieldMaidenLagertha · 2021-01-28T01:50:09+00:00

I think I’m going to make myself some lobster bisque and a steak. Maybe get some nice wine and chocolate. Maybe some bath products and a piece of jewelry?

MissKinkykittykat · 2021-01-28T18:39:11+00:00

My colleague had beautiful flower bouquets delivered to our office every valentines. Honestly, it filled me with pangs of sadness and jealously.

We became good friends and she explained they weren't purchased by anyone else. She was happily single and liked to treat herself.

I've taken up getting flowers delivered twice a month. I'll get something extra special this valentines. I have my eyes on an €80 bouquet with 45 stems.

Buying for women at valentines is ridiculously easy. Men still manage to fail. Mine always have.

cheaphubcaps · 2021-01-25T15:26:50+00:00

I've been trying to choose a new perfume and have been going on eBay buying small sets of super high-end samples to try. I highly recommend as it's inexpensive and fun to do. I am learning what I like and expanding my experience a little there. I am saving a few for Valentine's Day as a treat. Know yourself!

Eazy_s-Sister · 2021-01-26T14:46:46+00:00

Getting a new cellphone and sending myself flowers. After reading others' lists I am going to try and book a massage also.

pasta-daddy · 2021-01-26T20:40:52+00:00

YES!!! bubble baths and bottles of martenellis (i don’t drink) and maybe a box of chocolates!!! massage parlors are opening in my area soon so maybe...

Razza_ma_tazza · 2021-01-27T02:25:48+00:00

Friend and I are drinking wine and enjoying a night in to ourselves!

vincevano · 2021-01-27T13:51:09+00:00

I’m actually a Valentine’s Day baby so I try to give myself some extra love during this time of year! 😊 Covid restrictions are still really bad where I live, so I’m planning to celebrate solo by buying myself a cake, doing an at home mani, and just having a spa day at home! I couldn’t resist and I bought myself a stuffed animal, some new skincare, and a box of chocolate already too. Happy Valentine’s Day ladies!! 💓

ChocolateBiscuit96 · 2021-01-27T21:57:03+00:00

Im buying a few more diamond rings from zales and I’ll probably get my nails done.

soundslikeautumn · 2021-01-28T20:34:19+00:00

I have always agreed with this! Self love is extraordinarily important and Valentine's Day is the perfect time to practice it! I'm planning on quiting smoking on Valentine's Day. I hope that counts.

applemartin · 2021-01-28T00:20:55+00:00

Ride my stunning horse (who back in his competing days was worth like $200k+).

Eat fancy Japanese food and French desserts.

Hike and gossip with quarantine bubble girlfriends.

candyfox84 · 2021-01-27T18:29:43+00:00

I love this! I am a huge fan of candle lit baths, so I take them regularly. But I might throw in some bath salts for Valentine's day.

her-vagesty · 2021-01-27T21:07:54+00:00

If anyone has recommendations for UK based quality jewelry I'd love to hear. I like delicate, gold or rose gold, sparkly (preferably diamond but my budget might be more cz lol)

DarthSpinster · 2021-01-28T16:55:02+00:00

I was going to take myself out for an expensive dinner but I recently switched gears to put any disposable income towards the last of my student loan so I will probably get Chipotle and cuddle up on my couch with a good movie.

academinx · 2021-01-28T17:30:48+00:00

A local group does a “galentine’s” event, but this year it involves a rose, love note and a fancy cocktail delivered to your door. It’s marketed as something to order for your girlfriends, but I got it for myself lol

BlackWidow960 · 2021-01-28T17:31:45+00:00

Going to buy myself some Sees Candy, order some good food, grab some bubbly wine and do some shopping for myself (probably buy myself some makeup, a good book, or outfit) and then relax at home with a good movie ☺️💅🏽

orangeboobert · 2021-02-16T00:24:02+00:00

I bought myself this heart necklace w pressed flowers bc I don’t like real flowers bc they die and it makes me sad to throw them out. W the necklace, I asked myself, if I was my lover what would I give me for vday?

I also lit a candle, did some yoga’s day meditation then journaled at midnight.
