ONE? What to do on Valentine’s Day if you’re single
We hate to break it you, but Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday this year. So, if you’re single and thought you could ignore the holiday altogether ... you’re mistaken! But don’t despair, because we’ve rounded up the best V-Day experiences for all you singletons.
Polish it up If you’re feeling a little blue because you’ll be alone this V-Day, make sure you book yourself in for a pamper session at Revive Wellness Spa. It’s the ideal place to steal away to when you want some time to yourself and the spa is so vast (offering pretty much every beauty treatment you could think of) that you can literally treat yourself from head to toe. Their hot stone massage is an indulgence you just have to experience, and any treatment booked gives you full access to the spa’s facilities which include a heated hydro-pool and luxurious outdoor daybeds. The nail bar is another must because, let’s be honest, nothing is guaranteed to lift your mood like a fresh coat of polish.

Get schooled Let your artistic side out at the Lilian Gray Art School at their Singles Only Valentines Paint Night. Painting is a great way to express yourself and vent your emotions in a healthy way and who knows, you might even make a few new single friends. The event is suitable for even the newest of newcomers to art and the cover price of R550 includes all of the materials needed ... not to mention that there will also be delicious platters and wine on offer.
Getting a tarot card reading may not be your standard weekend activity, but that’s exactly why you should try it and even more so if your ex would have shrugged it off as esoteric nonsense. Throw in a high tea and you’ve got yourself one unforgettable weekend in the making. Grab your tickets to Pure Magic Events’ High Tea and Tarot In The Garden – this event will not only have a scrumptious spread of afternoon tea delights like macarons, ribbon sandwiches and champagne, but each table will also have their very own psychic on hand. Whether you want to pose some big questions like whether or not you’ll always be #foreveralone, find out if a big promotion is on the cards for you or just want to have a bit of fun, this event is sure to be a blast!

Take a break The best treatment for a breakup? A break at one of the best hotels in Jozi, of course.

Oh, and did we mention that the classic rooms all have gorgeous tubs, meaning you treat yourself to a long, uninterrupted soak? We’re telling you ... this might be your most memorable V-Day yet! 61 North Street, Melrose North K www.thepeech.co.za E @thepeechhotel D @thepeechhotel Q @thepeechhotel
