Celebrate Valentines Day Single

Hello!

Today is Valentine's Day and everywhere you look, you will see couples exchanging gifts and going on romantic dates, you will see photos on social media of celebrities showing off their elaborate gestures and gifts for their partners, advertisements on TV and hear love song dedications on the radio. There may even be marriage proposals, who knows! If you are single, you may be feeling annoyed or sad or you may think Valentine's day is Pointless and a waste of money. No matter what, I'm sure you will all feel the love in some way. Just because you don't have someone special to share the day with, doesn't mean you can't have a special day.



In this post, I  will share a list of things you can do when you're single on Valentine's Day.

1. Have a day out and do something you enjoy. Explore the city, go to the beach or see a movie.

2. Do something you don't normally do. Visit a museum, art gallery, aquarium or zoo. Maybe you  could even have a new experience, like doing the Harbour Bridge climb?

3. Dine out. You may feel awkward sitting in a restaurant by yourself but there is nothing wrong with it, so many people do it. You can order delicious food and dessert and eat as much or as little as you want.



4. Go shopping and buy yourself something nice. It could be something you have been wanting for a long time or just something small that you like. Whatever it is, you deserve to treat yourself.

5. Pamper yourself. Get a manicure and/or pedicure, your hair done or a massage. You can pamper yourself at home too. Paint your nails, put a face mask on or have a bath with a bath bomb and candles lit.

6. Do a secret-Santa like Valentine's Day exchange with your friends. Put everyone's name into a hat and have flowers delivered, buy each other gifts or treat them to a meal.



7. Have a romantic movie marathon  or watch all the movies starring your celebrity crush.

8. Read a romantic novel or go on Wattpad and read love stories and fan fictions.

9. Plan a craft afternoon. Set out paper, card stock, paint, coloured pens and stickers and make Valentine's Day cards.

10. Host a singles-only dinner party. Invite all your single friends over and toast to your independence.

11. Bake a chocolate cake.

12. Take the day out to unplug. If you don't want to see all the loved-up couples on social media, Temporarily deactivate your accounts or just turn off your phone. Do something else instead.

13. Drink champagne, or if you're under-age, your favourite beverage and eat strawberries with cream or dipped in chocolate.

14. Send nice messages to your friends and family. Tell them you love and appreciate them.


Who said Valentine's day is only for couples? You can celebrate your friendships and your families. Show your loved ones how much they mean to you and that you appreciate them. Tell them you love them, today and always!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...

The Prove It Game

The public opinions on Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are divided. Some love her and most seem to hate her. I admire her in some ways. I just watched an interview she did with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima and something she said resonated with me.  Image from Jamie Kern Lima YouTube.  Here it is: "We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. You have to prove that you're enough, you have to prove that you're pretty enough, you have to prove that you're smart enough, you have to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend, and I am just so done with the prove it game. When you get to the place where you feel like I don't have to prove anything to you anymore. I don't have to prove that I'm a good person, I don't have to prove that I'm a good wife or mum or friend, I don't have to prove that I work hard. It can be really freeing when you stop playing the prove it game." - Meghan Markle. I completely agree with...

Social Media Ban

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that the Australian Government will enact laws to ban children under 16 years of age from social media and here I am sharing my thoughts on this.  Image from The Chapel Hairdressers - Horsham Facebook page  There are many benefits of social media. We can share photos and videos with our families and friends to keep them updated on our lives, instantly communicate with them, have a record of special memories, businesses can promote their products and services, connect with people professionally and do so much more. So many people are working on social media full time as influencers, working with brands and creating content online  and some have even married people they met online.  Social media can also be used as a weapon.   Preteens and teenagers go through puberty, stress about getting good grades at school, do their best to live up to their parents expectations, have many things they are worried about and just wan...
