The starry-eyed masses may be out snatching up roses, chocolate and sentimental cards before making rezzies at a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner spot. (The lovey day is this Saturday, FYI.)

But you–the unaffected single, the consciously uncoupled, the devil-may-care guy or gal who doesn’t need a special holiday to help you spread love and joy–you are too cool.

Instead, I say: Treat yourself.

There are spas to visit and sales to peruse, mini champagne bottles from which to sip and delicate bracelets–with monogrammed charms!–to slip on your wrist. Ah, the many ways to declare our love for ourselves this Valentine’s Day.

This adorable, homey spa in Bellevue popped up on the beauty scene last fall and if you live in Seattle, it’s worth the quick trek. Book the Cupid’s Ahh-row for an indulgent relaxation sesh that includes your choice of a 60-minute Ultimoot facial or massage (Recoop’s signature services) plus a 30-minute manicure with hand massage and paraffin treatment. 

Debbie Harry Bracelet from Stella & Bow

My custom wrist candy with my initials
I stumbled across this sweet and simple 14K gold-filled bracelet from Los Angeles-based jewelry company Stella & Bow and I fell in love. Personalize it with your initials or word of choice (up to six characters) in all-white or colored beads.

Topshop’s Brit Pop-In Collection

One of the adorable offerings at the Topshop & Topman Brit Pop-In

Expect an exclusive men’s and women’s ready-to-wear and accesories collection brimming with menswear-inspired pieces, groovy graphic tees, flared jeans and jersey dresses crafted in classic British tailoring and sportswear styles. Shop it through March 15.

Mini Bottles of Bubbly from Chandon
Stash a few of these sparkling pink beauties in the fridge for straight-out-of-the-bottle, movie-watching refreshments. Or use it to mix up a bubbly cocktail–like the French 75–instead.

Skin Win at Elaia Spa

Elaia’s relaxation room
The sleek day spa on the second floor of the Hyatt at Olive 8 has recently stocked its shelves with anti-aging products from Issaquah-based skincare company HydroPeptide. The glow-inducing potions are also used within the spa’s services, such as the 60-minute signature facial, in which you can opt for one of four targeted solutions: deep cleansing, age-defying, acne-clarifying or calming. Book it and set aside ample time post-treatment to inulge in Elaia’s steam room, lap pool, jacuzzi, sauna and relaxation lounge.
