Do not, by any stretch of imagination, feel sorry for yourself that you’re single this Valentine’s Day. Firstly, most loved-up couples after a few years together can’t be arsed with V-Day. Secondly, being single is liberating AF compared to a relationship that destroys you. Trust me. Thirdly, you do not need any dude or any reason to spoil yourself.
Got that? Great. Now you’re feeling less shit, let’s dive right in to the treats I think you will want, need and make you feel awesome after.
Style change at Chez Vous: Hideaway. $199 and onwards
I adore this hair salon, so much so I’ve gone on and on about it in a previous blog post. I always leave feeling 100x more epic, so it makes sense I deliver this as the first treat. Whether it is a simple trim and conditioning treatment or an entire style and colour change, getting your hair pampered and professionally taken care of is a fab way to spend your single time. New year and new you, am I right?
Bloom Room Bouquet – Half Dozen Roses, Please $98
Featuring 6 red Kenyan roses arranged beautifully with white eustomas and foliage, this gorgeous brown paper-wrapped bouquet is a classic design that you deserve to buy – all for yourself. I ADORE florals and learnt many years ago never to expect any guy to bother buying flowers for me, just to make me smile. So I buy them for myself, and make myself smile instead. Savvi?
VIKTOR & ROLF Flowerbomb EDP Spray, S$125
This is my favourite scent, hands down, forever. I always feel great after discovering a new fragrance, something so magical about a smell that sets your soul alight. I always feel sexy and sophisticated with a few sprays of this perfume.
SELF-PORTRAIT Pleated lace midi dress from Farfetch, S$651
If I didn’t have deep green hair, this dress would be on its way to me right now. The colour is flattering for most skintones, whilst the cinched waist and bardot sleeves and sweetheart neckline enhance feminine curves. Prepare for your next big date by investing in killer outfits now.
BALENCIAGA Casino printed leather keychain from Net-a-Porter, US$161
You don’t need to wear your heart on your sleeve, instead add it in the form of a designer keychain to your favourite handbag.
Vibease: The Jewel Collection, US$49 each
Give the gift of pleasure to yourself with the Vibease Jewel Collection. Given that Vibease are a company that specialise in remote control vibrators, you know you’re in good hands here. The latest collection launched in perfect timing for your V this V-Day includes Ruby, Emerald and Onyx – three unique and ergonomic shapes, sensually rendered in the smoothest body-safe silicone to complement all body types and erotic pursuits.
“Vibease Jewel Collection is especially great for beginners, as well as those who feel a little intimated by technology and sex tech toys,” says Dema Tio, co-founder of Vibease.
Ruby – sensually contoured to tease and entice, Ruby’s slim and pliable double-tongued tip promises to embrace your clitoris in between its soft folds with powerful vibrations for the perfect pinpoint pleasure you never knew you needed.
Emerald – With its soft curves, intense vibrations and playful vibrating rabbit ears, Emerald promises to stimulate your senses all over your body, turning gentle movements into pure erotic ecstasy.
Onyx – Uniquely sculpted into a ring shape, Onyx assures strong clitoral vibrations for her and a firm erection for him, making it a deliciously sensual experience for couples.
They ship worldwide too, FYI. Thank me later.
Heart Eye Mask, La Senza S$21.28
The awesome aspect of being single is that you get to have as much uninterrupted beauty sleep as you so desire. Nobody to roll over onto, to get up for a pee in the middle of the night or an early morning alarm that you don’t need. Ensure your sleep is the best it can be with this heart satin body cute eye mask from La Senza.
PAT MCGRATH LABS LuxeTrance Lipstick, Sephora $59
As if we need any real reason to treat ourselves to more cosmetics? Particularly a lavish shade of red lipstick. Red lippy makes me feel empowered, sexy, strong and stylish. I chose this number because I adore the packaging (yes I am that easy to please, so what?).
