Whether you’re single or loved up this valentine’s, we all need to remember to practice self love. Many people end up on their couches just waiting for the day to pass and while we understand where that may come from, this year we encourage you to be proactive with your happiness because you deserve it! If you’re single this year, we recommend flipping your perception of valentines as a “couple’s holiday” and remembering that the true spirit of this day is celebrating love in any form.
Have Your Own Spa Night
Release any stress you’re holding onto by hosting your very own spa night. Put on a soft robe and feel yourself sink into self care for the night. The options of activities for a spa night are endless – our top recommendation is to run yourself a hot bath. Pickup a CBD bath bomb to give yourself an extra sense of relaxation and take away any soreness or stress you’ve been experiencing. We’ve listed some of our other favourite tips to elevate your bath and make you feel like you’re truly at a spa.
- Place candles along your bathtub for a warm, intimate glow.
- Add a few flower petals or whole flowers to the water.
- Bring a speaker in the bathroom to listen to spa music or maybe even a podcast you like.
Get Those Endorphins Pumping
If you’re feeling quite ‘bleh’ this Valentine’s Day, we recommend releasing some endorphins by doing any form of exercise. This could be as small as taking your dog to the local park, doing a short workout video at home or asking a friend to go on a stroll with you – any effort counts. When you exercise, your body releases chemicals called endorphins which interact with the receptors of your brain to reduce pain, stress, and trigger a positive feeling throughout the body. Not only can these chemicals boost your mood but exercising can also make you feel good about doing something healthy for yourself. To best prepare for your workout, we recommended a CBD stick that can help prevent any soreness before it even starts.
Chef It Up For Yourself
Why not use this holiday as a chance to brush up on your cooking skills? One of the classic activities to do on valentine’s is go out for a fancy dinner or cook a meal at home with your partner. This year, invest in yourself by planning a dinner for 1! If you’ve never had the chance to do something like this, now you can take the time to plan your own menu with whatever your heart desires. Granted that you enjoy the taste of cannabis infused foods, this would be the perfect time to truly play around with them. Try picking up a THC tincture to experiment with – these can be put in pretty much any food or drink you’d like and make the process a little easier than attempting to infuse your own cannabutter, for example.
Valentine’s day, while inspiring and fun for some, can leave others feeling lonely and sad. The holiday is truly about celebrating all kinds of love but the media tends to focus solely on the romantics. This year take a moment to think about what this day means to you and start celebrating in any way that makes you feel loved.
