Valentine’s Day can be a pretty depressing and over commercialized holiday. Sitting around eating ice-cream and crying about being single doesn’t sound like a fun way to spend this Valentine’s Day. Even if you are taken, try one of these new and unconventional ways to celebrate this day of love.
1. Celebrate your friends.
Throw a coed Valentine’s Day party or a GNO (Girls Night Out). Just because you have a different kind of love with your besties than you might with a non-platonic love, doesn’t mean it can’t also be celebrated.
2. Invest in yourself.
Hit up the beauty counters and try a new product. This could be anything — an iconic red lipstick that screams kiss me now, a shimmery powder that gives you a glow that no Instagram filter could or falsies (and no, I’m talking about lashes!). For guys, this could be a new shaving kit or a tie. Celebrating love means loving yourself and feeling attractive. This feeling must come from within, but adding something to your exterior can give you a supplemental boost, which can go a long way.
3. Get creative for a cause.
Help make Valentine’s Day cards or a playlist for a local hospital or charitable organization. Do it with your significant other, family or friends. You may also consider sending greeting cards through companies that give to nonprofit organizations. Some people need a little more love than others (and your contributions can help make a difference in their lives). Get discounted gift cards to purchase your crafts for additional savings.
