How to Be Your Own Valentine this Year:
We all make so much fuss about finding that special someone to spend Valentine’s Day with that when this holiday finally rolls around, we feel disappointed, lonely and gypped if we are still single. So why don’t we set it up differently this year? Why don’t you decide to be your own Valentine and to treat yourself with love?
This may look different to each one of you. Maybe it means buying yourself that special necklace you’ve been eyeing or cooking yourself an amazing meal while watching your favorite movie. Or, you might prefer to spend the day with loved ones like your friends or family. Maybe you even want to throw a party for all your single friends with truffles and champagne or, if you really want to be over the top, take yourself for a weekend get-away to the Florida Keys. Valentine’s Day can be whatever you make it. It is your day of love so please, celebrate it!
My book, ‘Dating from the Inside Out: How to Use the Law of Attraction in Matters of the Heart’ talks about creating things on the inside first. So begin by focusing on self-love and all the beloved people that you already have around you and you will radiate abundance and will probably draw even more love to you.
Here are 7 ideas to get you brainstorming:
1-Create a Spa Day where you sleep in, have a bubble bath and then go get a mani/pedi and a massage.
2- Make homemade Valentines with doilies and construction paper for all the people that you love.
3-Get a makeover, buy yourself a new outfit and go out to your favorite restaurant with a friend.
4-Make a new signature cocktail and share it with your girlfriends
5-Invite a few good friends over to watch three romantic comedies and have cheese& chocolate fondue
6- Buy yourself two dozen roses (in all different colors) and a bottle of your favorite perfume.
7- Make martinis or cosmos and watch the whole ‘Sex in the City’ series with your girlfriends
The point is the love yourself (single or not). If you know that you deserve the best, why not just give it to yourself?
I wish you the Best in Love and I hope you have a great Valentine’s Day this year!
