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

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!

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
