Valentine’s Day: Singles Edition
Hey there sexy, if you found yourself on this page then we both know what we need to hear…
Should I be upset over v-day?
The answer is no.
Luckily for us, this year is falls on a Tuesday. In my books, that’s another day for me, another day in the office, just another Tuesday.
Where you know that it is just a normal Tuesday, you are unfazed, and you are living your best life, there are some things you may want to avoid on Valentine’s Day.
AVOID SOCIAL MEDIA!
Instagram and Tik-Tok for some have become a part of our daily routine. We wake up, and before we even brush our teeth we are scrolling on the gram. Now some days this is okay, however this specific Tuesday, I would chose watching your favorite TV show, or going to that yoga class you’ve been putting off.
The thing with social media and Valentines Day is that it is simply inevitable. For some relationships, an instagram post is a HUGE deal. Now for me, my partner doesn’t post me on their social medias. I don’t take offense because their actions in person don’t need to be posted online. (However it is nice to feel shown off!) For now, we can sit back and giggle at the posts.
Now with new trends, Instagram has this feature for stories that read, “Upload Your Lover!” Or, “Post your last photo in your camera roll” you get the point. Long story short, I’m sure every other post is going to be about love, and that is fine! However you may not want to indulge yourself too much in others today.
If this is something that is going to bring your vibe down, don’t go near it!!!!
Have one day, just one where you put your phone down and avoid socials. You aren’t missing anything, I promise! (except for Rihanna’s pregnancy announcement) hehe.
Take YOU On a Date.
This does not have to be boujee AF, this could be ordering your favorite take out, or getting your nails done. Go out and pick up your favorite flowers. Set them up in a cutie vase and light a candle next to it. Little details like this will boost your serotonin more than you know.
Do something that is going to make you happy and feel empowered. Try a new face mask, finish your current book, use your favorite vibrator, open that bottle of wine or spark that joint, the list is endless. Maybe you even feel spicy and want to throw on the Netflix Series Sex Life or Fifty Shades. You do you mama!
Before you know it, Valentine’s Day is going to be over, you can resume your normal social media scrolls, and you can feel accomplished for having a self care day, all on a normal Tuesday.
Truth be told, some don’t even believe in a holiday like this! Love is not chosen for a day of the week, date nights should not be just once a year, and quite frankly, everyday should be like Valentine’s Day.
HANGOUT WITH YOUR FRIENDS
Have yourself a Galentine’s Day instead. If you need a pointer, my girlfriends and I have had a lingerie party. We invited the girl group, wore our favorite sexy outfits, and then ordered in our favorite foods. We PIGGED OUT that night. The wine was flowing, the confidence was fueling the room, and overall it was an amazing time. Nothing competes with a night in or out with your best friends! Throw on a cheesy romance movie and laugh about how corny it is.
The best part about this entire blog and holiday is that it’s an excuse to focus on you. Life gets pretty in the way sometimes and we forget to take care of ourselves every once in awhile. For me, I just use Valentine’s Day as an excuse to pamper myself, and you should too ;)
