You're Single - Ouch!

Valentine’s Day is back, and still doesn’t care about your relationship status! I’m here to help you make the best of this “holiday”. We are going to turn the ouch into an ooow!

All my single ladies? All my single ladies! (Now put your hands up!) - So you’re single. Embrace that shit! Binge watch your fav shows, grab your fav snack, and enjoy one of your fav people on the planet. That person is you, of course! Think about it, you don’t have to worry about the stresses of buying a gift for someone else. Got some extra cash that you want to use anyhow? Use it on you! Treat yourself to your fav meal, a trip to the spa, a mani & pedi, etc. The options are limitless. Don’t be ashamed about being single this Valentine’s Day. Another idea would be to send yourself some flowers to the workplace, signed by a secret admirer. Because why not?? Keep the people guessing. This could even inspire a real secret admirer in the workplace who may have been admiring you all this time to step their game up, and finally build the courage to approach you. Anything that will help boost your spirits on this day - go for it! Who better to have you than you having yourself.

Are you not the only single one in your bunch of female friends? Plan a GALentine’s dinner! There is always fun decor at the local 99 cent stores, so setting up doesn’t have to be pricey. You can even make it potluck style so you don’t have to foot the entire bill. The evening could be something so simple and cute, with your favorite appetizers, movies, and wine - can’t forget the wine! You can have everyone dress up in their LRD’s, or keep it comfy and have everyone come by in their onesie pj’s. Your friends will love you for taking their minds off of being alone on this night.

Valentine’s Day is a day for love, but there is no reason why you shouldn’t feel loved too!
