THE 9 THINGS YOU SHOULD DO RIGHT AFTER A BREAK-UP

Yes, a night out with the girls. Logical. But then you come home after such a night and before you know it, you're crying in your bed again, because everything around you reminds you of him. Time for a change, ladies. I must honestly admit that I didn't do any of these things during my last big break-up, but well, now I know why it took so long for me to finally get over him. So, time to move on from Mr. Not The One, and here's how you do it:

1. Make a new playlist

And listen to it only for the time being. How awful is it when you happen to have music playing somewhere and then that one song (or more) of yours comes on? Terror. And while you're at it, try to include as few heartbreak songs as possible, because otherwise, you'll still think of him. (Need music tips? Look me up on Spotify!)

2. Buy new bedding

Because you obviously don't want to be under the same duvet you always shared with him. And don't worry, it doesn't have to be that expensive. Lil has already gathered the cutest ones for you.  

3. Change your passwords

Just in case you shared them together, because hell no, you don't want him to have access to your private inboxes and such. And if you happen to have his, you know the rules: don't sneakily stalk him. That won't make you happy at all.

4. Buy new underwear

Met a new boy? You don't want to have sexy time with him in the underwear you always wore with your ex-boy, do you? That's what I mean. Throw that stuff away, time for new lingerie. By the way, do this even if there's no new boy in the picture. It'll do you good.

5. Switch your perfume

There are certain scents that will always remind you of him. His aftershave, for example. But it could also be that you start associating your own scent with him. Time for something new. Like this one, for example.

6. Change your Netflix binge list

Because all those series you always watched together, you really don't want to see anymore, right? Well, lucky you, because there's quite a bit of new good stuff waiting for you this month. 7. Mute his social media.

Suppose you're still on speaking terms, don't necessarily hate each other, then you don't have to remove him from everywhere. What you can do better is just make sure everything from him is on mute. On Facebook, that's easy; his activities won't show up on your timeline. Easy as pie. I actually don't know about Instagram. I've just always been lucky that my ex didn't do much on Insta, so he doesn't show up much on my timeline.

8. Change your eating habits.

And by eating habits, I mean that favorite takeout place you always went to together. Well, you're not going there anymore. Look for a new spot. It's secretly quite boring if you always go to the same place, right? Switch it up girl, broaden your taste palette.

9. Do a sex toy upgrade.

Well, unless you quickly have a rebound or become the queen of one-night Tinder dates, you might want to have something exciting at home for those nights when you're in the mood for some fun between the sheets. But don't do that with that pink friend you used to use with your ex to raise the excitement level. Enter: a new friend for the lonely nights.

Here are a few fun ones. – you're welcome. Yes, a night out with the girls. Logical. But then you come home after such a night and before you know it, you're crying in your bed again...
