10 of the best things about being free and single

by

Relationships are great and all, but every girl needs to experience the sheer freedom of being single, too.

Taking to the couch for five hours to binge-watch the Kardashians? Work away. Staying out all night just cos? Yup, you can do that too, no questions asked.

When we say being single is the best, we're not talking about the kind of single where you've just had your heart broken and haven't been out of bed in three days. That's no fun. But every so often we get to a stage in our lives where we are 100% happy with being independent, free of ties and totally, blissfully, on our own.

Here are just a few things that make the solo life so fabulous…

1. You're free to hog the duvet AND sprawl yourself across the bed
So much spaaaace.

 

2. Plus, getting up in the mornings is way easier
No warm body to cuddle up to as soon as your alarm goes off, at least. Sadly we can't guarantee you won't fall back asleep anyway.

 

3. You can take as long as you like to get ready
If today's the day you spend an hour in the shower exfoliating, shaving and doing a deep conditioning treatment, so be it. 

 

4. The TV is your kingdom
No more will you have to watch Champions League when you know there's a perfectly good marathon of Project Runway season four starting RIGHT now.

 

5. Going out for the night offers a world of possibility
So much flirting to do, so little time.

 

6. Your shaving/waxing schedule is your business and no-one else's
Can't afford a bikini wax until next payday? No biggie.

 

7. It's amazing how creative you can get with dinner for one
A hearty dinner of half an avocado, some chickpeas and a bag of Doritos. WIN.

 

8. You can sneer at annoying couples with no guilt
None of this "wait, are WE that annoying?"

 

9. You get to experience that epic "I AM A GODDESS" feeling when you pull the hottest guy in the bar
Back off, ladies.

 

10. Staying out til 7am and waking up on your bestie's couch is NBD
Your time is your own!
