Happy Valentine’s Day… To Me
By Fitsmi February 11


Flying solo this Valentine’s Day? Feeling your gag reflex kick in when your best friend gushes about the romantic date she and her sweetie have planned?

We get it. Sometimes love can be a little nauseating (especially when it comes to those super-sappy V-Day jewelry commercials).

Here’s a thought: You don’t have to spend this Sunday in grouch mode. Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity to show yourself a little love–because everyone deserves a little affection and TLC.

Here are some ways you can pamper yourself on the most romantic holiday of the year:

1. Take a bubble bath. Light some candles, play some soothing tunes and feel your worries melt away.

2. Eat chocolate. FitSugar has a great slideshow of low-calorie chocolate treats and tips for eating chocolate without going overboard.

3. Splurge on that pair of shoes you’ve had your eye on. Admit it, shopping for yourself beats shopping for a significant other.

4. Give yourself a DIY facial or hair treatment. Glamology has details on making your own hydrating face mask and hot oil hair treatment with stuff you can find in your kitchen.

5. Unwind with a little meditation. It’s easy. Just get close your eyes, relax your body and mind, and focus on what an awesome person you are. Replay moments in your mind when you felt proud or beautiful.

What’s your favorite way to pamper yourself?
