Single? This is how Valentine's Day becomes not hell but heaven
On Valentine's Day we celebrate love, but hey, who says you can't throw a party just like that one friend of yours who has been celebrating it with her husband for twenty years? Instead of losing yourself in the ‘why am I not in love?’ thoughts, you can just make this day all about self-love. The low point of emancipation is when you sit crying in a corner today because no one slipped a card under your door or set up a heart of tea lights in your bathroom. You are just going to take the wheel yourself and I'm going to help you. This is what you can do.
Buy a new lingerie set
What feels better than a brand new lingerie set? Whether you choose something subtle or something you've always wanted to wear – it's all about the feeling. The feeling of a new set makes you feel sexy and confident, and even you can feel that without a great love.
Charlet Tilbury makeover
In Amsterdam, The Hague, Eindhoven, Maastricht, Rotterdam, and Utrecht, you can book a Charlet Tilbury makeover at De Bijenkorf. You pay 75 euros and the best part is that you can choose this entire amount in makeup afterwards. Don't know what you want to choose? No worries, the Pillow Talk Lipstick and Champagne Glow Highlighter is all you need to shine!
Crumple up on the couch
Not in the mood for all those mushy couples at the cinema? Crumple up on the couch in your comfy clothes, grab a glass (or a bottle) of wine, and watch failed romance movies to feel a little better about your single life. Good movies include: Fuck de Liefde (1 and 2), Seriously Single, 500 Days of Summer, or The Other Woman.
Breakfast with champagne
What are you waiting for? This sounds like a dream for every woman, right? Book a hotel room for yourself and order sushi for bed. A little glamour, a little relaxation, and yes, breakfast in bed with champagne is of course part of it. Isn't that the perfect way to start the day, or am I saying something weird?
Dive into the kitchen
Make these mega cute love bruschettas to nibble on yourself. The recipe: cut a baguette into pieces and brush a mixture of oil, pepper, and salt on each piece of bread. This can go in the oven until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Then place a slice of tomato and a basil leaf on the bread. Now comes the best part: cut a heart out of a slice of mozzarella with a knife or a cookie cutter. Place this on top of the bread and voilà, the ultimate Italian Valentine's snack, uuuhh and I mean the bread, okay.
So all the single ladies, put your hands up. Oh yes, on Spotify there's the perfect Amayzine playlist for single ladies.
