Each month of the year has something amazing to offer, but February stands out like a cute little button.

You can call me a cliche for being attracted to the rare and unique, but I just love the idea of celebrating this twenty-eight-day month.

Also, Olivia Rodrigo might have done something for me the moment I heard her sing ‘And I fell for you like water falls from the February sky.’

(Ah, my heart, I can’t take it.)

It’s the month of romance, cozy moments, and changing seasons.

And for those who’ve had a disappointing start to the year, it’s also a perfect month to hit the reset button on life and start afresh.

In this post, we’ll look at the 14 best things to do in February to celebrate the uniqueness of this month.

Whether you love cozying up indoors with your partner or are a single soul who loves spending time in nature, there’s something in here for everyone.

Let’s dive right in!

14 Things To Do In February

1. Celebrate Valentine’s Day

If you’re in a relationship, February is the perfect month to spice up your love life.

Plan a weekend getaway with your partner, have a nice romantic evening on Valentine’s Day, and be sure to let your person know how much you love them.

If you’re single like me, you don’t have to sulk around and begrudge all the people who have someone to cuddle with.

Ask a loved one or a friend to be your Valentine. Could be another single friend, your mom, or even your pet!

Do nice things for them, even if it involves cheese stuff like greeting cards, chocolates, or teddy bears.

After all, it’s the season of love, and it’d do your soul good to and channel the love you have in your heart.

2. Spend Meaningful Time By Yourself

While loving others is an amazing thing to celebrate, you deserve to love yourself just the same.

This February, strengthen your relationship with yourself by spending meaningful time alone.

Splurge on yourself, go out on a solo date at a cafe or a scenic spot, and open yourself up to the power of you.

This is your time to teach yourself to enjoy being alone so that the coming year can be full of memories made in your own company.

To quote author Lelah Delia, “Keep taking time for yourself until you’re you again.”

3. Resasses Your New Year’s Resolutions

Did you know that the second Friday in January is known as the ‘Quitters Day’?

Most people who have made resolutions end up abandoning them by this day.

I think the reason this happens is because people put too much pressure on themselves to get their life together quickly, which is not realistic.

It’s okay if January hasn’t gone according to your plan. February, being just the second month of the year, is as good a time as the new year to set your goals again.

Decide whether you want to carry the same goals forward or set new ones.

You have the option to slow down or dive headfirst into your plans with renewed determination.

In case you feel like you’re better off without any resolutions, permit yourself to be free without any guilt.

There’s nothing wrong with going and growing with the flow.

4. Watch A Cozy TV Series

You’ll have the rest of the year to watch thrillers and heartbreaking dramas.

February is your time to celebrate coziness and comfort before spring comes dancing, and a feel-good TV series is the ultimate way to get into your Hygge spirit.

Pick a show that you know will give you fuzzy vibes, and watch it throughout the month during your free hours at home.

Here are some feel-good recommendations from my end:

Gilmore Girls (even though it’s a fall show, it’s got cozy written over all the episodes)
Anne With An E (watching it currently and I’m so obsessed)
Modern Love
The Great
How I Met Your Mother

5. Read Romance Novels

With Valentine’s Day as its centerpiece, February is the best month to explore romance literature.

Pick romance books from historical, contemporary, and fantasy genres, and set a realistic reading goal for February.

Set up a cozy reading nook with soft lighting and loads of fluffy pillows, and create an inviting atmosphere by lighting candles and making a warm beverage for yourself.

Here are some romance books for your February romance reading challenge:

I’ve Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella
The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary
From Blood And Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Silver Lining by Maggie Osborne
Pride And Prejudice by Jane Austen

6. Watch The Grammy Awards

For all the music lovers out there (which I think is pretty much everyone), the Grammys is the ultimate award show to watch out for in February.

Your favorite artists might be in the nominations, and it’d be fun to watch all the performances live.

You can even organize a watch party with your friends and family, and have a great night making predictions and appreciating the outfits of your favorite musicians.

The Grammys 2024 will be hosted on Sun, Feb 4, 2024, 8:00 PM – 11:30 PM. This year will mark the 66th celebration of the award show.

I’ll be rooting for Ms. Swift, as always. What about you?

7. Tune Into A Feel-Good Podcast

I love exploring soulful activities to slow down my mind and podcasts have quickly become my go-to zone for that.

February can be a lonely month if your loved ones aren’t around, or if you’re simply having trouble connecting with yourself.

Tuning into a podcast that has feel-good vibes can really help during such times.

You can hit play on it during your walks, before bed, or even while you’re doing your everyday chores.

It feels great to listen to someone talk about things that you can relate to and feel understood by them.

These are my current favorite podcasts that are will float well in February:

‘Growing With The Flow’ by Nayna Florence — For a calming ambiance
‘On My Mind’ by Ava Jules — For a fun time
‘Not Your Typical’ by Katelyn Nolan — For your health and wellness hours

8. Start A New Morning Routine

Whether you’re an organized person or someone who likes to take things as they come, a morning routine is something you’ll love having in your life.

I like to stick to a morning routine as long as it fits my needs before moving on to a new one.

It keeps me from getting bored of the same rituals and makes my routine life more interesting.

Start a new morning routine in February, with habits that serve your physical and mental health.

Keeping the mood of the month in mind, it’s best to pick activities that are soft on your mind and body.

Here are some morning rituals you can pick from:

Have a glass of warm water after waking up
Wash your face and tidy up
Make your bed
Set your top three priorities for the day
Read a cozy book
Journal your thoughts
Go out for a short walk in nature
Do a stretching routine
Make yourself a healthy breakfast

9. Write A Letter

If there’s ever a month to write letters and go back to the time of yore, it’d be February.

It’s a fun activity that will help you romanticize this already romantic month and strengthen your bond with whoever you choose to write to.

You can write a letter to your best friend, your parents, or a sibling. You can even write an unsent letter to someone from your past who you wish to let go of, and later burn it or bury it in the earth.

As an act of self-love, you could even write to yourself or to the future or the past you.

It’s a pretty cute idea, isn’t it? Make it lovelier by buying letter-writing stationary with colorful papers and glittery gel pens.

10. Take A Glow Up Challenge

While the first month is gone, the new year is still setting in.

You have a chance to give yourself wellness a boost and build some great habits by taking on a glow-up challenge.

These challenges usually give you a new task every day that you have to tick off.

It might be something like going for a walk, taking a long bath, eating a fruit, or trying a new healthy recipe.

You can try this simple 7-day glow-up challenge or create one yourself.

Log your journey in a notebook so that you can track your tasks and reflect on the challenge later.

11. Have A Dedicated Self-Care Day

As good as it is to indulge in a self-care ritual at the end of a long day, a full day dedicated to self-care is a different feeling altogether.

It’s like celebrating your love for your mind and soul.

Pamper yourself through a series of self-care activities like taking a warm bath, putting on a hydrating face mask, dressing up nicely, and reading in a cozy ambiance.

Paint your nails, write in your journal, connect with a hobby, and do things that make you bloom both on the inside and the outside.

Your happiness meter will spike up afterwards, and you’d want to have a self-care care every month going forward.

12. Celebrate The Lunar Year

This festive occasion, rooted in various Asian cultures, marks the beginning of the lunar calendar and is a time for renewal, reflection, and family gatherings.

It involves unique customs like lion dances, fireworks, and exchanging red envelopes symbolizing good luck.

To join in the festivities, you can attend local events, parades, or community celebrations, where the atmosphere is filled with joy and unity.

You can even make some home decor crafts at home that signify the festival and cook a dish related to this occasion.

Whether you’re of Asian descent or simply interested in experiencing diverse cultural celebrations, partaking in the Lunar New Year is a great way to deepen your connection with the world and also give yourself a fresh start.

13. Try Some Winter Sports

February might just be your last chance to try out some outdoor winter adventures before the winter draws to a close.

This month often provides optimal snow conditions for activities like skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating.

If there’s no snow in your area, you can go on a hike with your family or book tickets for indoor ice skating rinks.

Considering that winter is a lazy time, taking part in sports is a cool way to get some physical activity in.

You’ll also get to appreciate the beauty of snow-covered landscapes and the crisp air.

14. Start Spring Cleaning And Organizing

This one’s for the last few days of February. With spring just around the corner, you can start your seasonal cleaning and organizing routine.

Begin by creating a checklist of areas that need attention, from cluttered closets to neglected corners of the house.

Tackle one room or specific task at a time to avoid getting overwhelmed. Declutter, donate, or discarding items that you no longer need.

Initiate a deep cleaning routine by dusting, vacuuming, and wiping down surfaces. As you organize, invest in storage solutions such as bins, baskets, and shelving to maximize space and maintain order.

Utilize the changing season to rotate clothing and linens, storing your winter items and welcoming lighter fabrics.

With spring cleaning on, you can transition from a cozy February to a colorful March, and make sure all your things are in order for the new season.

Embrace The February Vibes With These Activities

This February checklist will help you prioritize all the areas of your life while maintaining the coziness of the month.
