7 Ways To Spend The Day Self Pampering On Valentine’s Day…

7 Ways to Self Pamper

Valentine’s Day is less than a week away and not everyone will be celebrating this day with a significant other. But don’t fret, I’ve listed a few ideas on how to spend the day (or any other day) self-pampering yourself.

  1. Spend the day at a spa
    Treat yourself to a well deserved facial, massage, and a mani and Pedi.
  2. Book a room at a hotel
    Let someone else do all the work for the day. Order room service, take a bubble bath and binge-watch your favorite tv shows or movies.
  3. Indulge in your favorite meal/dessert
    Spend the day enjoying your favorite meal at a fancy restaurant.
  4. Get dressed up and go to brunch
    Put on your cutest outfit and start your day off with a nice meal.
  5. Buy yourself flowers
    Buy your favorite flowers, put them in a cute vase, and set them in your favorite spot somewhere in your home. 
  6. Go to the makeup counter and get a mini makeover
    Visit one of your favorite department stores and make a stop at the many makeup counters. Try on some of the season’s hottest colors and get a new look. Don’t forget to take a ton of selfies.
  7. Throw a cocktail party
    Invite over a few of your friends that don’t have plans and enjoy some adult beverages, appetizers, and desserts.

Whether you’re single or not, self-pampering can help relieve stress and provide much-needed relaxation.

    Such great ideas for self pampering. Although it wasn’t Vday, I did spend the day at the spa last weekend, and my hubby and I have other plans this weekend.

    I can appreciate everything listed and I’m married with kids. I know a night in a hotel room alone would be the best valentines day gift ever. 🙂

    These are all excellent ideas. Especially the hotel room for when you just want to get away. The experience makes it feel like you’re on a vacation!!!

    I had really great intentions on doing a lot of these things. LOL Good thing is I have a few work trips coming up that I will be able to sneak in some self-pamering time.

    I wish I could’ve spent Valentine’s Day doing any of these things! However, you said something really important at the end of your post that really resonated with me “self pampering can relieve stress and help with relaxation.” I have to remind myself to just relax!

    These are great tips! I love the idea of mini-make over. It’s the perfect time freshen up and experiment with a new look for Spring. I just may take this suggestion even though Valentine’s Day has passed. I must have done something this week worthy of a little pampering. lol

    I love the idea of getting a mini makeover! It’s the perfect time to experiment with a new look for spring anyway and always super fun to play in new make up.

Unpopular fashion opinion: Not every fashion trend looks good on everybody.

I’ve learned that chasing every trend doesn’t build great style knowing what works for your body, lifestyle, and personal style does.

The best outfits aren’t always the trendiest. They’re the ones that make you feel confident.

Agree or disagree? What’s one fashion trend you just couldn’t get behind?

I told myself I wasn’t buying another pair of sunglasses.

Then I tried them on.

At what point does it become a collection and not a shopping problem?

Unpopular fashion opinion: Looking expensive has nothing to do with how much you spent.

Some of the best outfits I’ve ever worn weren’t the most expensive…they just fit well, felt good, and were styled with intention.

A designer label won’t fix bad styling, but confidence can elevate almost anything.

Agree or disagree? 

What’s your unpopular fashion opinion?

Original price: $170

My price: $59.97

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but that’s not spending money… that’s being financially responsible. 

Girl math or smart shopping? Be honest. 😂

What up doe? Fashion besties, can we talk about how hard it is to meet new people as an adult?

Between work, responsibilities, and everything else life throws our way, making new friends isn’t always easy. That’s why I love events like this. There’s something so refreshing about stepping outside your comfort zone, meeting new people, and making real life connections.

I came for the content, the donuts, and the good vibes…but I left with some great conversations and new connections.

Noowwwww…let’s talk about the food!! The donuts were good, and I especially loved the Strawberry Shortcake Layered Custard. But the real star of my evening? The Crispy Ramen Original Rice Hotdog lightly sprinkled with sugar. I’m officially hooked and already planning my next visit.

A big thank you to @DetroitFinds313 and @mochinut_berkely for hosting such a fun and welcoming event. 

Now tell me, fashion besties, do you find it easy or hard to make new friends as an adult?

Anybody else love a three-piece set because it takes all the thinking out of getting dressed? Just add shoes and go. That’s my type of getting ready. 

 @Fabletics always has the cutest workout sets 💙💙💙

Someone told my 5’1 self I’m not petite because I’m not skinny.

Respectfully, petite means short, not skinny. If I’m not petite, then why has every pair of pants I’ve ever owned been too long unless I specifically buy short or petite sizes? 

Petite girls, back me up in the comments

Petite is a height category, not a body type. My 5’1” self didn’t stop being petite just because I’m not a size 2.

Fashion besties, can we normalize getting overdressed? 

I didn’t buy these clothes just to save them for a special occasion. Life is the occasion.

If I want to wear the cute dress, the statement coat, or the heels just to grab coffee, I’m doing it. The older I get, the more I realize style is meant to be enjoyed, not saved.

Tell me I’m not the only one. What’s the most “extra” place you’ve worn a cute outfit?

POV: I’ve always been too anxious to go sit in a restaurant by myself, but I decided to add it to my bucket list and finally do it.
So today, I took myself out on a solo date, ordered what I wanted, enjoyed my meal, and honestly? I wish I would’ve done this sooner.
The whole time I was thinking, “Why was I so scared of this?”
Be honest, fashion besties... have you ever taken yourself out to eat alone, or is it still on your bucket list? #fashionstyledetroit
