It's valentine's day, the day single's dread and the day couples get all cosy. But regardless of what you're up to today, it's super important to take care of yourself!
My lovely partner is currently on a plane over the Atlantic ocean, chasing his New York dream, while I'm stuck in my little flat in the south coast of the UK. I'm so jealous right now and I could mope around about it, or take the next few days to TREAT MYSELF. (By treating I don't mean buying things because right now I'm broke..)
So what glorious things am I up to today?
Well my housemate has gone to visit her parents for a week, my boyf is in NY, and that leaves me with a lot of time, and a lot of flat. Which I'm kind of happy about. It means I can use the next week to be productive and active, enjoy spending time by myself and finally finish the overwhelming amount of books that I haven't started yet.
Taking a shower (and singing in it)
Yep, I did this about 15 minutes ago. There's some amazing playlists on Spotify, one of my favourite's being the 'singing in the shower' playlist. It's amazing, you're in a hot shower, you're clean and fresh.. and no-one can judge you while you create your own naked show. Music always improves my mood and gets me feeling productive and happy and get me into the right mindset.
Treating yourself to good food.
So as I'll be eating alone tonight, I've put my ingredients in my slow cooker, which is now bubbling away for the next 6 hours or so. A lovely vegan chilli, which I'll probably pair up with rice and curl up and eat on the sofa later. Although it doesn't sound exciting, I'm really looking forward to it.
Cleaning your living space
For me it's always exciting when my flatmate leaves, because it means I can sort of relax and I really enjoy cleaning. I'm a little OCD when it comes to this, so knowing I've cleaned and can relax in my own home makes me feel so happy and nice. Living or working in a messy environment can make you feel rubbish. Also it's a Sunday, so that mean's it will be nice and clean for the rest of the week!
Reading a book
Being alone means that I can finally concentrate on getting some books read. I'm constantly buying books that I want to read and somehow lose time. Today and the next few days I'm really going to focus on just setting aside time to relax and lose myself in a good storyline. If you want to know what I'm reading at the moment, my goodreads is in my sidebar!
Watching a chick-flick
By chick flick, I don't mean the titanic. Some of my favourite classics that I'll probably watch this evening is Bridesmaids, Legally Blonde or if I'm feeling a little adventurous a silly little documentry on Netflix.
Completing a Hobby
I'm also going to really focus on my blog today and this week after my long break. But if I wasn't I would complete my scrapbooking or something that I was working on at the time. Or maybe just having a cup of tea..
Enjoy your Valentine's!
