Every year so far, you’ve gotten your friends and family together to celebrate your birthday.  Well perhaps it’s time for a change. Perhaps it’s time to go solo this year, and do something really special for yourself.  Because truth be told, it’s your day and the most important thing is your happiness.

Soak up every second of your special day by yourself and do all of the things that you absolutely love without worrying about anyone else’s schedule. A new year means a new chapter in your life and you should enter it with as much clarity and positivity as possible.

How about treating yourself to a fancy spa day? It’s the perfect way to disconnect from all the many distractions of your daily life and totally unwind. Give yourself the royal treatment and let relaxation take you to places you’ve never been before.

If that’s not your style, how about a solo road trip to someplace that’s been on your bucket list for awhile? Let your wanderlust lead you in the right direction. Unwind and discover some new places on your special day.

What about welcoming a new furry friend into your life? Of course you must first consider everything this responsibility entails, but what better way to bring the most adorable creature into your life than on your birthday?

And of course every celebration must include food, which is why you should book a table for one at a restaurant you’ve been dying to try.  Or if you’re into music, get yourself a ticket to see your favorite band.  Shove your way to front row and tell yourself they are performing just for you, birthday girl.
