8 Ways to celebrate Palentine’s Day

Whether you dread the looming day of love, are strongly anti-Valentine’s or would just rather spend it with your pals, then here are eight ways you can turn Valentine’s into Palentine’s Day…

Have a movie marathon

We all love to snuggle up on the sofa and binge-watch our favourites series or movies, so grab your cosies, your best mates and your favourite treats, and settle in for a movie marathon.

Relive your childhood

Who doesn’t love a board game? Have a rummage through your cupboards and pull out those old classics, or head to a charity shop and see what goodies you can find – then it’s time to let out your competitive side!

Volunteer

Why not donate your time to volunteer in your local area? You could get involved in a clean-up or even start your own. Doing it with your mates will be great fun and it’ll make you feel good.

Get baking

Dig out your favourite recipe or find something new to try, then get creative with your pals when decorating your treats. The only decision left is: sweet or savoury?

DIY spa day

Spas can be expensive and it’s likely that they’ll be booked up for couples on V-Day, so save some cash, ditch the crowds, and grab your dressing gown and some face masks for some chill time.

Practise some yoga

Dig out your Lycra and strengthen your core and mental wellbeing with a bit of yoga!

Get outdoors

Being out in the fresh air can do you loads of good, so why not head out on a picturesque walk with your pals (and your instax, of course)? If you’ve got a pooch, take them along, too!

Strike a pose

Set up your own photoshoot and snap some snazzy instant prints of you and your mates in different outfits. You can shoot simply shoot against a wall in your house, somewhere in your garden or go out in search of cool backgrounds!
