Clare Canavan, Reporter

 

  • Binge watch your favorite movie and make yourself your favorite dinner

There is no better way to spend your time then living through your favorite characters. A comedy can make your day 100 times better, while a drama can make you realize how blessed you are. Make yourself your favorite food or pick up takeout from your favorite restaurant for your night of binge watching netflix.

 

  • Have a spa day with other single friends

Pampering yourself on Valentine’s day is a perfect way to treat yourself. The Melt Spa in Hershey has one hour facials for $105, and any spa is a great place to bring your friends. If you do not feel like spending money, creating your own at home spa is a DIY anyone can do.
