Single and Ready to Mingle: Calyxta Celebrates 11:11

Why all the fuss about being single? While enjoying life solo or with a partner is ultimately up to each our own personal preferences, on November 11 in particular (11th of the 11th month!), we are celebrating single-dom—and the P11.00 shipping fee when you shop on Calyxta.com!

How to love being single? Let us count the ways.

1. Reward yourself.

…or perhaps a family member, or a close friend who deserves it, too. Take your mom to a fine dining restaurant outside the city and spend all day catching up. Buy her a complete set of Calyxta-approved beauty hauls!

Or if you prefer gifting yourself, indulge in online shopping from the comforts of your bedroom and shop until your credit limit drops. (P.S. I’ll save you the trouble of thinking of what to buy—this Viajecito bag is worth all the beach trips you’ll be going to with your girl friends)

2. Indulge in the extra time you have!

You can choose to sit back, relax, and unwind, or go forth and find a new hobby or activity to take up! As for me, I truly suggest choosing whichever one it is that will benefit your mind and soul. You can run every morning for happiness by way of endorphins, or you can light up one of Happy Island’s scented candles and stay at home, write down goals, or journal about your life so far!

3. Get to know yourself better.

If I were single, I’d definitely take the time to try new things, indulge in my emotions and feelings, and get to know myself through others! A fun way to actually do that is through scents. I propose indulging in a few bottles and wearing a scent from Soleil et Lune according to your day’s mood (again, take advantage of the P11.00 shipping!). It’s like feeling a different version of yourself each day!

4. List down the top three areas in your life you’d want to invest your energy on.

There are a zillion things in this world that could matter to you. Take this time to prioritize and decide to spend it on what truly matters—at least for now. You can spend quality time with your fur baby (after all, he or she gives you peace of mind at the end of stressful work days!), you can invest in all the Real Techniques beauty tools you’ve always wanted to splurge on (because beauty is like a creativity outlet of sorts), or you can finally take control of your diet cook for yourself.
