Guide To Self Love

Self-love doesn’t have to be boring. It may be easy to pour yourself a glass or two of wine and binge your favourite show but sometimes it’s great to try something new. Here are our ideas for great solo dates that will help you figure out what to do during your “me” time.

If you love music: Go For Acoustic Wednesdays at Ankole Grill

There’s nothing like live music and great food. Ankole has all these which makes it the perfect spot for your solo date night. You can make it a special night and show up in your Sunday best or keep it casual and show up in something comfortable just in case dancing in your chair isn’t enough. Either way between the spicy food, sultry music and soothing ambience, you’ll be guaranteed a something night out.

If you’re looking for a laugh: Attend A Heartstrings Entertainment Play

You won’t have to worry about needing someone to talk to or wondering how many times you can fake laugh before your date realises they aren’t funny. The plays Heartstrings put on will not only leave you belly laughing but will help you discover a whole new way to spend an afternoon or evening enjoying your own company. Find out their 2020 schedule on their Facebook page @Heartstrings.Enterainment.

If you want to learn a new skill: Attend the Beginner Knitting Class with Provisions Kenya

Knitting isn’t something old people do. It’s a great skill that keeps your fingers busy and allows you to get creative. The best part is the class is small and you’re all beginners so you’ll be in great company. It’s an interesting way to spend 1.5 hours on a weekend and maybe you’ll finally learn how to make all those woven decor items you keep saving on Pinterest. Classes are Kshs. 2,500. Find the dates on @provisionskenya.

If you want to treat yourself: Let The Spa Come To You With Lynk

The best part about spas is being pampered. The worst part is sitting in traffic trying to keep the same calm and relaxed vibe you paid a hefty sum for. Well, you can skip the stress and traffic by having the spa come to you courtesy of Lynk Kenya. Log into their website, select the treatment you want and wait for the pampering to come to you. Find your package on lynk.co.ke.

If you want to stay in: Book A Staycation

We’ve mentioned this before but that’s because it’s a great way to get away from everything. You can stay indoors and still manage to make a date out of it. It may be a bit hard to set up your place for a night in but it’s easier to throw rose petals everywhere, eat in bed and sleep in if you don’t have to worry about cleaning up. We recommend cosy Airbnbs in Champagne Ridge and Karen like The Container House.
