Oh, it’s Valentine’s Day… Again.

It’s that time of year, once again and you either really love it and look forward to it or hate it with a passion. If you have no idea what I am talking about, it is  the one and only... Valentine’s Day. Although this holiday is mostly known to celebrate love between two people, it always gets a lot of play from those who are single. In my opinion, it seems like single people hate February 14th.  Even though I am currently in a relationship, I’m here to tell you ladies that being single on Valentine’s Day is not as bad as you may think. Trust me, I know. I wasn’t always in a relationship my damn self. Now before you read this and roll your eyes out of frustration, hear me out. I really want to share a few tips that will hopefully allow you to enjoy this dreaded holiday, SINGLE!

  1. Galentine’s Day

I don’t care how many times it has been said, but it’s true. Spending this holiday with other single friends can be lots of fun. There is nothing more exciting then turning up with your girls right? Then why should this day be any different. Grab some friends, get dressed up, take some bomb pictures, go out and just have fun! The beauty in this is that you will be surprised at how many people are out having a good time… just like you. And it gets better… you will most likely run into other people who are single as well! Such an easy way to meet someone new and mingle. Or you don’t have to meet anyone, just simply enjoy the night with your girls

2. Me Time!

Now, what if you are someone who may not have a lot of single friends? That’s cool too. This day can also be all about YOU! I mean this day is based around love, and who gon’ love YOU more than YOU? Nobodyy, *in Keith Sweat voice.* All jokes aside and as cliché it may sound, you know it’s true. Self-love is the best love. So show yourself some. A few things you can do are take a trip to the spa, get a new sexy outfit, switch up your hair, take a bubble bath, sip on some wine. I mean truly, you can do anything you want as long as you are focusing on your love for yourself.

All I’m saying is this Valentine’s Day, do as you please. Don’t let this day have you all in your feelings and feeling some type of way. Own it, enjoy it, while living your best single life.
