Self-Care Ideas for Singles Awareness Day
Forget Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating Singles Awareness Day! Singles Awareness Day is a fun holiday celebrated on February 15th that brings alternatives to the typical couple-y activities of the day before. Who says you can’t have fun with your single girlfriends or guy friends (or by yourself)? This year, we’re bringing the focus back to you with self-care ideas for Singles Awareness Day you can enjoy solo or with friends.
Celebrating Singles Awareness Day in Style
You don’t need to be in a romantic relationship to lead a full life or be happy.
Being “single” only comes from the idea that being a “couple” is the normal state of affairs. Without that being the norm, being single is just called being a human. Some food for thought if being known as “single” isn’t something you enjoy.
There’s plenty of self-care activities you can do to pamper and celebrate yourself, by yourself, like the amazing person you are. To celebrate Singles Awareness Day in style this year, check out these ideas:
- Have a movie night
- Send yourself flowers
- Order takeout or delivery
- Cook your favorite meal
- Spread the love with friends
- Practice gratitude
- Make a self-care spa day
- Do a girl’s/guy’s night out (or bring both!)
- Enjoy a beautiful sunset
Movie Night Ideas for Singles Awareness Day
Sometimes the best way to relax and practice self-care rituals is just kicking back to watch a good movie. This Singles Awareness Day, plan a movie night with friends or by yourself. Pick out one or two of your favorite movies and enjoy. Don’t think just because it's Singles Awareness Day that you can’t watch your favorite rom-com, either. You do you—it’s your day. 😉
Send Yourself Flowers
Okay, okay, we know that sending yourself flowers might sound a little sad–but why? You can make Singles Awareness Day be anything you want it to be. Love some flowers? Have them delivered! Embrace the empowerment that your self-care ritual brings you and rock those blooms.
Order Takeout or Delivery
Have a favorite restaurant? Sounds like the perfect dinner for Singles Awareness Day to us. Order takeout or delivery and let dinner come to you. Whether you enjoy it solo or invite some friends over to share, this is a day to make it all about what makes you happy. Sushi (or pizza!?) and a movie marathon? Sign us up. 📝

Spread the Love With Friends
Think Singles Awareness Day can’t be a time to share the love? Think again. Just because you’re single doesn’t mean you can’t show your love and appreciation to those who mean the most to you. If you’re getting friends together for dinner and a movie night, why not kick the evening off with everyone sharing what they love about each other?
Not only is this an awesome way to show appreciation, but it makes you feel good giving and receiving love.
Practice Gratitude
Finding ways to practice gratitude is another self-care activity for Singles Awareness Day to put you in the right spirit. Don’t focus on things you may not currently have or things you may want. Instead, focus on practicing gratitude for the wonderful things in your life that make you exactly who you are.
You can write these in a daily guided journal with prompts to help you craft your thoughts, or go freestyle with a gratitude journal sesh.
Tip: Practicing gratitude can be a great self-care ritual to do all year round, not just on Singles Awareness Day. Give it a shot and see how it could positively impact your daily life!
