Valentine’s Day is often portrayed as a day for couples, filled with romantic dinners, decorated hotel rooms, and gifts exchanged between partners. However, being single on Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the day and get your dopamine hits, too. In fact, it serves as the perfect reminder to celebrate friendship and self-love.

Here are 5 Valentine’s Day activities for single women:

• Galentine’s Gathering
  
  These days, Galentine’s Day celebrations are wildly popular, for ladies who are single or cuffed. Gather your closest gal pals with some eats, drinks, games, and let the good times roll. Galentine’s is all about celebrating the love and support of your female friendships. And if you need inspo, you can find some of the cutest Galentine’s parties on TikTok.
  
• Self-Care Spa
  
  Treat yourself to a luxurious spa day by creating a spa-like atmosphere at home with scented candles, soothing music, yummy snacks, and whatever else you need to set the mood. Pamper yourself from head to toe. And if you’re not a DIY girlie, you can always book an actual spa day.
  
• Creative Workshop
  
  Tap in to your artistic side by attending a creative workshop in your area. Whether it’s painting, pottery, cooking, or crafting, there are plenty of options to explore based on your interests. Channeling your energy into a hands-on activity can be therapeutic.
  
• Outdoor Adventure
  
  Energize your body and mind with a fitness adventure tailored to your interests and fitness level. Whether you prefer yoga in the park, a workout class, or a scenic bike ride, there are endless possibilities for getting active and breaking a sweat. Challenge yourself with a new fitness routine or activity you’ve been wanting to try. Invite a friend to join you or set out on a solo excursion for some quality alone time in nature. Connecting with the natural world can be incredibly rejuvenating and inspiring, providing a refreshing perspective.
  
• Volunteer Service
  
  Research local organizations or charities that align with causes you’re passionate about. There are a ton of volunteering options year-round — animal welfare, environmental conservation, offer to lend a hand at a soup kitchen, organize donations for a shelter, participate in a beach cleanup. Giving back not only makes a positive impact on others but also provides you with a sense of fulfillment and purpose.
