JOMO, or the “joy of missing out”, isn’t a new concept… In fact, we’ve all had a bit of JOMO at one point or another.
The meaning of JOMO is really about embracing the idea of finding joy and contentment whilst opting out of or missing out on activities that are generally expected for us to attend!
When it comes to Valentine’s Day in particular, the fear of missing out has a tendency to take control and put pressure on the day, so at St Nic’s we’re exploring the ways in which we can embrace the JOMO!
Whether you’re trying to save a bit of money, don’t have the time, or just want to avoid the crowds; these guides are designed to inspire you to make the most of Valentine’s from the comfort of your own home, with no expectations from your peers.
After all, Valentine’s Day is all about showing your love for that special someone – why should you have to share it with the world too?!
Dinner for Two?
It doesn’t need to be Michelin Star standard, simply shop the kitchen essentials with Robert Dyas, then set the mood with Primark and Next.
Don’t trust your cooking skills? Make it easy and pick up a treat from The Attic Street Food kiosks on your way home from work and enjoy freshly made pizza from Antonino’s , traditional Caribbean jerk chicken from Burke Kitchen, or a taste of Korean street food from Goko.
Galentine’s!
Don’t forget that Valentine’s is for the gals too!
Share a day of selfcare and visit one of St Nic’s top beauty salons for a fresh set of nails, then take the time for a well needed gossip over a hot cup of coffee (with an extra sweet treat too, of course!)
