1. Make it a movie night – Watch a chick flick movie with your friends or have a movie marathon in the comfort of your home.
2. Spoil yourself – Get yourself that red lipstick or shoes you have been dying for.
3. Catch up on series – Grab a bottle of your favourite wine, stay indoors and catch up on the series you did not have time to watch.
4. Relax at a spa – Go to a beauty spa and get pampered. You deserve it!
5. Take a break from social media – Forget about social media, just for a day. Seeing photos of couples having a blast will depress you, especially your ex’s.
6. Enjoy a cheat treat – Forget about dieting; get that ice cream, slab of chocolate, pizza or frozen yoghurt.
7. Spread the love from above – Do something nice for someone else and just spread love. You will feel good afterwards.
8. Family matters – Cook a nice meal for your family. Or, even better, have a braai or go for a picnic with your girls.
9. Give yourself some love – Do anything that makes you happy and content.
