Putting yourself first this Valentine’s Day may be the most rewarding experience of your year. Check out these four ways to put yourself first this season!
Take yourself on a date
Going to a restaurant by yourself can be daunting, but being your own date can be super rewarding! Walk around your hometown, find a new place to get your nails done, or even get a massage. The possibilities are endless! We recommend finding a great place to grab brunch. Green Eggs has three locations in Philly and City Winery has a great Sunday Brunch!
Buy yourself flowers
Alexa, play “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus. No really! Brighten up your space with a small bouquet. Trader Joe’s has bunches that range in price $3.99 – $12.99. If you’re looking for a romantic bouquet, you can check out the Philadelphia Flower Market, Orchid Flower Shop, or Nature’s Gally Forest. This also doesn’t have to be Valentine’s Day specific, make buying yourself flowers a weekly practice!
Learn a new recipe
Whether you love to cook, or you’re more of a baker, one of the most valuable acts of self-love is learning to cook for yourself. If you’re just starting out, don’t be afraid to keep it simple! Start out with a few basic ingredients and get more complicated as you go. Delicious!
Have a fun day with friends
One of the best ways to put yourself first this Valentine’s Day is to celebrate Galentine’s Day instead! Start your Galentine’s Day with a yummy, bottomless brunch, then you can find your way to the South Street Headhouse District where you can find many thrift stores, including Philly Aids Thrift, Retrospect, or Heres2CoolStuff. Last, end your night with a glass of wine at any local restaurant!
Self-love IS self-care! So throw on some tunes and make the most out of this season!
