Valentine’s Day is a day of love that some may look forward to, while others may dread it with a passion. This year, don’t put yourself into the second category, and instead participate in the day with some self-love! Make the day as enjoyable as possible with these suggestions on what to buy for the special person in your life (yourself)!

Buy bath bombs and masks for the ultimate relaxation day.
This year, treat your face and body with some love by giving it the ultimate reward: face masks and bath bombs! Stop by your local skincare store to buy masks, in varieties such as sheet masks, face scrubs, or peel-off masks. While masks that require you to peel or wash them off deeply purify and clean, sheet masks help deliver necessary nutrients and result in fresh-dewy skin. Either way, your face will turn out considerably cleaner and rejuvenated! Bath bombs, on the other hand, will leave your skin smelling sweet and feeling like a baby’s bum. Simply dunk one into a filled bathtub, and watch it melt into a colorful masterpiece. Slip into the bathtub and feel your stress melt away as well. After treating your face and body, you’ll definitely be in love with the results!

Go try out a new food place.
Use this day as an excuse to do the activities that are close to your heart and truly matter: eating yummy food. Try to expand your horizons and try new food, such as sashimi, mexican food, or even a new food chain. One restaurant that is recommendable is Shake Shack, also known as the East Coast’s version of In N’ Out. This food chain is gaining rapid popularity on the West Coast as well, with its delicious burgers and crinkle-cut fries. It also offers other menu items, such as hot dogs, custards, and unique sandwiches. With burgers that melt in your mouth and other unique options, this popular food chain is bound to make your heart happy as well.

Go on a shopping spree for yourself, by yourself.
Whether it be online or in store, let yourself free this holiday and buy whatever your heart desires. Give yourself a little love and finally buy that dress you’ve been eyeing for the past 3 months. Don’t forget to go online shopping for cute little things, such as enamel pins or cups.

Treat yourself with ice cream cake and cupcakes.
In order to truly utilize the day to its full potential, some of your money has to be spent on some form of dessert. Make your tastebuds giddy with joy by treating them with some ice cream cake! Ice cream cake is wonderful mixture of two delicious desserts, ice cream and cake, and Valentine’s Day wouldn’t be complete without this delicious creation.

Although Valentine’s Day may be typically advertised as a day meant for lovers, that doesn’t restrict it to other interpretations as well. It could be a day for you and your pet, a gals’ day, or even a day to spend with your family. All that matters is that you celebrate this holiday with the ones you love and hold close to your heart, and that definitely includes yourself!
