In a world that often tells us to stay busy or to wait for others to join us, there’s a quiet power in choosing to do things on your own terms. For women, especially empty nesters, crafting the perfect solo outing—whether it’s brunch at a cozy spot, sipping on a well-poured bourbon at a lounge, or indulging in a relaxing cigar moment—can be both chic and empowering. These moments are not just about the food, drink, or the setting; they’re about reclaiming your time, your space, and your confidence.
So how do you plan a solo outing that feels as luxurious as it is empowering? Let’s break it down step by step and make your solo adventures something to truly look forward to. From choosing the perfect brunch location to savoring that last sip of bourbon as the day fades, here’s how to curate an outing that’s all about celebrating YOU.
The first step to your solo outing is choosing the right brunch spot. Look for places that not only serve delicious food but also offer an atmosphere that encourages relaxation. Whether it’s a trendy café with an inviting outdoor patio or a sophisticated bistro known for its charming décor, the goal is to find a place where you can sit back, enjoy your meal, and feel the pleasure of being in your own company.
You don’t need a companion to enjoy your meal, so bring your confidence along with you instead. Try ordering something indulgent—perhaps a dish you’ve always wanted to try but didn’t because you were waiting to share it with someone. Savor every bite, sip your coffee slowly, and let the world continue around you while you embrace your time in the moment.
After brunch, it’s time for something a little more spirited: bourbon. Why not head to a cozy lounge or whiskey bar with a reputation for curating an excellent selection? Enjoying a well-poured bourbon in the company of yourself is an act of empowerment.
As you take that first sip, let it remind you of how far you’ve come and how wonderful it is to experience life’s pleasures on your terms. Whether you’re new to bourbon or a seasoned enthusiast, take your time to explore the flavors and the ambiance. Don’t hesitate to ask the bartender for recommendations—this is your time to truly enjoy the art of whiskey tasting.
This is where your self-love and confidence truly shine. Pair it with a cigar for that added touch of indulgence—if that’s something you’re into—and take a moment to appreciate your own company. It’s not about needing anyone else; it’s about knowing you’re enough, and you deserve every moment of it.
Now that you’ve planned a chic outing from brunch to bourbon, don’t forget the importance of turning this experience into a ritual of self-care. When you dine or lounge solo, you are creating a space where you can connect deeply with your own energy and celebrate your independence.
Indulge in your favorite activities without waiting for anyone else to join in. If cigars are your thing, embrace them with confidence. Cigars are not just a smoke—they’re an experience. A good cigar exudes elegance, a hint of rebellion, and yes, a touch of sexy sophistication. It’s about taking a moment to truly savor something, to be present, and to indulge in your own unique form of luxury.
