Ways to Spend Valentine's Day When You're Single ❤

All the single ladies, all the single ladies.. now put your hands up! Personally I've never had this problem, but Valentine's Day can be a very lousy day for some people when they're single. Yes, it's a very commercialized holiday. But I feel like people tend to forget that this day isn't just about having a significant other to show love to, but also family and friends you hold dear to your heart! But just in case, you think you're going to be miserable, I've come up with ten ways to make this year's Valentine's day a more special one. Have fun reading :)

1. A Solo Netflix and Chill

If you're a homebody like me, I'm sure there's nothing you enjoy more than your own company in the comfort of your home. And being single on Valentine's Day shouldn't feel any different. So climb in bed or curl up on your comfy coach, have a big bowl of buttered popcorn besides you at all times and let the binge watching of your favorite old shows begin! 

2. DIY Home Spa

When you feel like taking a little break from all that netflixing, treat yourself to a relaxing home-spa session! Your mind and body will love you for it. What you'll need: some scented candles, zen music, colorful bath bombs, body scrub, face & hair mask.. and a bottle of champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries, if you're feeling fancy. 

3. Pinterest Dinner Party

In case you rather not spend Valentine's Day alone, gather all your single gals together and host the most Pinterest-looking dinner party ever! Get some delicious looking recipes online and show everyone you're a kitchen princess in disguise. Deck the place out with cute dining linens, cutlery, plates and some pretty little flowers as the center piece. Get all of your friends to split the costs, or even more fun: DIY everything! Finish the dining area off with a few girly pillows, heart balloons and some sparkle! Don't forget to take lots of pictures!

Bloggers Favorite: Fliqlo Flip Clock Screensaver ❤

Maybe you've seen these, maybe you haven't.. but they're everywhere now. I'm talking about what seems to be bloggers' favorite new screensaver that'll make any office space go from basic to Pinterest worthy. Fliqlo - the famous flip clock screensaver, has been around for years now. But only recently did I decide it was time to hop on the bandwagon.

I just love the look of a minimalist office space and the fliqlo clock fits right in there. And the good news is anyone can get it (for free), whether you have a Mac or Windows desktop/laptop or have an iOS device. They make for great Instagram pictures, that's for sure. And are super convenient obviously!

What do you think of these screensavers?

Trendy Interior Tip: Marquee Lights from HEMA.nl ❤

Lately most of my pins have been interior related. I just love learning about the new trends in home decor land and finding inspiration for my own (future) apartment. One trend that I've come across a lot lately are the letter lights, or as I've seen them being called: Marquee Lights. They're the perfect decor piece for in your office space or bedroom. According to Pinterest, marquee lights are a fitting DIY project. But in case you're not really the crafty type, you can probably also get them in stores near you.

You're especially in luck if you're a Dutchie, because I found these trendy lights on the website of HEMA yesterday. Maybe I'm super late and this is old news. But I just had to share it with all of you. I couldn't find majority of the letters in the alphabet, so I'm not sure if they sold out, or if HEMA never had them. But I'd still check out the selection, these lights also make a great gift for a special someone. Find all the available HEMA letter lights [here].

Dream Interior: Decorative Ladder ❤

Life after college can be stressful. But one thing that I'm really looking forward to is finding my dream apartment. Or at least, decorating it like a dream! I'm not quite sure yet how I want it to look, but luckily I do know what I like. But that's also a part of the problem: I like way too much. I really like the idea of an industrial interior, but I'm also into the "Parisian" style design. Also, I like decorative pieces that are somewhat more unique and particular. So, it's definitely going to be a challenge to bring it all together nicely. 

Per usual, Pinterest has been a great way for me to get inspired and discover new interior design ideas I might want to consider. In these new interior series on the blog, I'll share them with you in hopes to pass on the inspiration. Today, I'm showing you how simple wooden ladders can spice up any space in your home. Definitely will be looking for one later myself!
