Pamper yourself on Valentine’s Day

Whether you’re single, have just started dating, or have been in a relationship for years, here are a few ideas to pamper yourself on Valentine’s Day.

A spa session

Nothing beats a good facial. It’s a truly relaxing experience and its results are fresh-looking, dewy skin. Some of the best facials are offered at the Sarah Chapman boutique with her Skinesis philosophy, though this can be fairly costly. However, if you’re working to a budget, there are some great facials available at very affordable prices. Check out Soho Skin for its skin superhydrate facial.

Something special to wear. . . in the gym

The bottom line is that new gym kit makes you feel a million dollars! This is especially true when you find the perfect fit leggings and a super crop that keeps your assets in check. There are lots of great ‘athleisure’ brands launching in the UK, but some of the best include L’urv activewear, Spiritual Gangster and HPE. Most modern gym attire is functional and fashionable, so looks equally good worn for a session at the gym or with the girls for brunch. That’s a totally justified investment then!

A PT package

This is the ultimate commitment to yourself to be healthy and active, and you should feel good about taking this step to becoming the best possible version of you. Lomax offers some great PT class options with excellent trainers who will build a session specifically for you. Also, Six3Nine offers bespoke PT training sessions in its exquisite gym with quality trainers. They are also running group classes to help women learn to properly lift weights – a great opportunity if you want to perfect your technique and meet some like-minded new friends.

Learn to make sushi

The great thing about food classes is that you can do them with friends and laugh together at the hilarity of your awful skills in the kitchen! It might not be something you’ve considered before, but sushi-making classes are the ultimate way to learn how to make super healthy and delicious food. More to the point, when you pull out this skill for a dinner party EVERYONE will be impressed. It’s also quite artistic, so make sure you bring a little bit of flare! There are lots of options for classes but some of the best are offered by YourSushi.

DIY night at home

Valentine’s Day can be quite full-on if you decide to go out, so this year why not stay home with a good bottle of wine, some healthy eats and that movie you’ve been wanting to watch for AGES but just haven’t got around to? Movie night is totally underrated, but it’s a great opportunity to get some friends over, debut your super soft loungewear and make excessive amounts of popcorn. The best part is that you’ll wake in the morning feeling fresh and very ready for your next gym session.
