February is the month of love and Valentine’s Day is around the corner.

For all the love birds out there this is the time when everybody turns into soppy romantics.

Flower sales go through the roof and heart-shaped chocolates fly off the shelves.

But what about the single folk out there?

Valentine’s Day often leaves those individuals feeling left out and lonely.

Just because you’re single doesn’t mean that you can’t celebrate love.

They say you have to love yourself before you can truly love another person.

What better time to show yourself some love than during this time?

Here are wonderful ways to celebrate Valentine's Day as a single person and embrace the beauty of self-love.

Pamper yourself

Valentine's Day is the perfect occasion to indulge in some much-needed self-care.

Treat yourself to a spa day, take a long relaxing bath or book a massage.

Embrace the idea of loving yourself and taking time to appreciate your own well-being.

Treat yourself to a special date

Who says you can’t enjoy going out on a ‘date’ by yourself?

Take yourself out for a special meal at your favourite restaurant, visit a museum, or go to a movie you've been eager to watch.

Plan a solo getaway

If you're up for an adventure, plan a weekend getaway or a solo trip.
