6 Ways Girls Can Practice Self-Care This V-Day, Because Self-Love Is The Greatest Love Of Them All

In This Article:

Whether you'll be spending your Valentine's Day alone or with a loved one(s), you can still provide yourself with your own love. This day is about love anyway so might as well love yourself a little extra too.

Mani pedi

Treat yo-self! Save up during the week and splurge on a mani-pedi for yourself. Nothing like feeling clean and freshly groomed after a long week of work, stress and school.

Hair mask or face mask

Yes, possibly the most basic of the self-care routine but there is something about doing these masks that make you feel like a different person. Feeling fresh and renewed, you can tackle your newest battle. You can even include a significant other or your valentine in this!

Candles

No matter what you do, light a candle, two or three. The atmosphere of a room with candle light and the smell of clean linen and lavender really make you feel like your life is together. So read a book, watch a movie or just close your eyes and meditate and listen to the crackling of your burning wicks.

Sip your favorite drink

Wine, tea, coffee or even water. Make it exactly how you want it and have a glass or two and enjoy the presence of yourself, or the ones around you. Don't forget, pinkies up!

Organize

Even though it includes work, take some time to organize. Your life (lol), your room, your closet, or even your purse it will definitely feel worth it in the long run when you have things put in order. If your bag is organized, it's one step closer to getting your metaphorical purse, aka life in order.

Dive into dessert

You can be a chocolate, vanilla or whatever flavor fan, just find something totally worth the calories and jump right in. It's a night of splurging so go all out and enjoy every bite of it. Even though it might be Valentine's Day where you feel obligated to share, remember you don't have to!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
