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!

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
