Be your own valentine

GERRY CUPIDO

YOU don’t have to be in a relationship to enjoy Valentine’s Day because the only relationship that really matters is the one you have with yourself.

Love for self is the most important love of all. While there are many women who are blissfully happy in relationships or desperately want to be in one, there are those who are quite happy to be single.

Whether you are still waiting for Mr Right or have made a conscious decision to be single, take the time to celebrate the day. Pop a bottle of champagne or make yourself a gin and tonic with all the trimmings and take a moment to enjoy your relationship status.

While you are sipping on your bubbly, here is how to pamper your beautiful self in ways only a single woman can.

RUN A HOT BUBBLE BATH AND SOAK IN IT FOR AS LONG AS YOU WANT

Those in any kind of situationship, especially when there are children involved, will tell you that in itself is a luxury. To relax in the tub without any interruption is pure bliss.

SLIP INTO SOME SEXY LINGERIE AND INDULGE IN A BOWL OF STRAWBERRIES AND MELTED CHOCOLATE – OR ANY OF YOUR FAVOURITE TREATS REALLY

Now you might be thinking that this is more of a couples thing to do, but hear me out. Guys love lingerie but they generally can’t wait to get you out of it, and let’s be honest, ladies, we feel fabulous in it so we want to keep it on as long as we can.

Enjoy your body and how it looks and feels in the expensive lingerie you have given yourself.

TAKE YOURSELF TO THE MOVIES

Many people find it strange to go to the movies alone, yet there are so many benefits in doing so.

You can watch those tear-jerker films guys would rather avoid, and you don’t have to share your popcorn
