Because Main Character Energy Doesn’t Require a Plus One

Look. Not every Sunday needs to be brunchin’ with the girls, suffering through small talk with a hinge date, or pretending you’re not irritated by the sound of your situationship chewing. Sometimes the vibe is just me, myself, and iced matcha.

And honestly? That’s the most elite vibe of all.

Spring is springin’. The birds are chirping. The pollen is pollinating (rude, but whatever). The sun hits different. And your solo Sunday? It deserves to be just as soft, sensual, healing, chaotic, and iconic as you are. So let me show you how to romanticize the hell out of your spring Sunday Tyana style.

Set the Aesthetic Tone (Yes, Even If You’re Just Going to the Corner Store)

Start with the outfit. Yes, even if you’re not going anywhere but your living room. Matching loungewear? Iconic. Oversized button-up and bike shorts? That’s poetry. Bonus points if you spritz perfume before your skincare hits your face because we’re not waiting for a date to smell good. The vibe is “I might have a love affair with my own reflection today.”

T’yanna Tip: Put on earrings. Even if you’re in a robe. Earrings = energy shift.

And yes, play a “Romanticizing My Life” playlist. I’m talking Sade, Cleo Sol, Solange, a little early 2000s R&B, maybe even a sprinkle of jazz if you’re feeling grown and mysterious.

Make a Breakfast That Looks Like You Have a Food Blog (But Keep It Real)

You know what slaps on a solo Sunday? A romantic breakfast not just a sad bowl of cereal or two leftover bites of Saturday night’s pizza (although no shade, I’ve been there).

Think:

• Avocado toast with too much chili oil
• An iced coffee that’s more aesthetic than practical
• Fruit in a fancy bowl that makes you feel like you live in a Nancy Meyers film

T’yanna Tip: Eat outside if you can. Even if it’s just your fire escape. Or open the window and pretend. You deserve main character wind.

Fun spring fact: Your serotonin literally boosts when you eat in the sunlight. So yes, that strawberry hits different under the sun.

Do a Soft-Life Activity (No Productivity Allowed)

This is NOT the time to deep clean your kitchen or organize your taxes. You can do that tomorrow when capitalism drags us back. Today is about joyful nothingness.

Options include:

• Reading a spicy or dreamy book in a park like you’re waiting for someone to sketch you
• Journaling your dreams, your delusions, your manifestations, your shopping list whatever’s on your spirit
• Laying in bed rewatching Pride & Prejudice and pretending Mr. Darcy is texting back

T’yanna Tip: Romanticizing your solo Sunday doesn’t require a plot twist. Sometimes the whole storyline is “she rested, she moisturized, and she minded her business.”

Take Yourself on a Mini Date

Go outside. Not to socialize. Just to vibe. Think:

• Thrifting something random and unhinged
• Browsing a farmer’s market like you’re about to cook a dinner party even though it’s just you and a rotisserie chicken
• Sitting at a café with your sunglasses on and people watching like a mysterious indie film lead

T’yanna Tip: Carry a tote bag like it has secrets in it. Put a book in it even if you don’t read it. Walk slowly. Romanticize the walk. Give passerby a soft smile like you’re the plot twist in their story.

Fun spring fact: April is peak serotonin season. Even a 20 minute walk in nature reduces stress by 30%. Science said go outside, hot girl.

Curate Your Evening Like a Love Letter to Yourself

Let the sun start setting and give yourself that dreamy early evening glow up ritual. Think:

• A shower with eucalyptus or lavender oil vibes
• A glass of wine or mocktail in a fancy glass (never drink from the bottle, babe we have class)
• A playlist that feels like romance and redemption and soft kisses on the shoulder

T’yanna Tip: Do your skincare like it’s a spa commercial. Light a candle. Do a face mask. Tell yourself you’re pretty and mean it. You don’t need a lover when you’re this luxurious on your own.

End your day with a journal check-in or manifestation list, or just lying there like the muse you are.

Romanticizing a solo spring Sunday isn’t about pretending you’re not alone it’s about knowing that your own company is elite, the sunlight is free, and the soft life is not a relationship status it’s a lifestyle.

So sip your tea, take your walk, wear your perfume, play your music, and be the whole damn story. With or without a plus one.Because baby, you’re not bored you’re blooming.
