Gelukkige Singles Dag

Hey you, lovely group of ladies. Have you always had such a terrible dislike for silly holidays like Valentine's Day where you are always confronted with the fact that you are completely single and ready to mingle? Good news: there is an official holiday for us and it’s already tomorrow: Singles Day. 24 hours to treat yourself festively, because tomorrow it’s all about you, 100%.

Our friends at Bol.com thought that there was one crucial day missing when it comes to holidays and under the motto ‘I love me’ they have put Singles Day on the map for tomorrow, where everything revolves around you. And actually, it’s not just for all the singles among us, you can have a partner too. What it’s about is that you celebrate yourself and what better way to do that than by shopping, right?

Unapologetically buying everything for yourself and you can do that best at Bol.com, because tomorrow they have thousands of discounts on everything: from makeup to jewelry and from books to electronic gadgets. Not bad, right?

And speaking of Singles Day, Parship has also done some research into the benefits of being single. Their findings? No less than half of the Dutch people think it’s perfectly fine to be single and don’t necessarily feel the need for a relationship. It makes you independent. You determine your own daily rhythm, you can watch all the series and movies you want, and when it comes to living, you make the decisions regarding the decor.

So did you always think that the eleventh of the eleventh was just a pre-carnival holiday for the Brabo’s?: think again. Tomorrow is all about you. Happy shopping.

Oh yes, and by the way, did you know that last Tuesday was Nachos Day? Yes, that exists too and if you missed it: no problem. Just celebrate it again this weekend with this recipe from Simone.
