ATTENTION: all the single ladies put your hands up! I made this special blog for all the ladies who are not in a relationship during this month of love. I know some of you know that I’m engaged in a long-distance-relationship, probably 8,082 miles away. Imagine that??? Who wouldn't know we can do that! It was an eye opening experience – hard at first but it was just what I needed.
Okay, fast forward to my real intention of posting this, I don’t want to talk about my LD relationship right now because it will make me hu-hu-hu! I want to dedicate this post to all single ladies out there this month of love. Valentine’s Day is just as close as your fingers (did you feel it?) and for those who are recently single, it means having to watch overt displays of affection at every turn, seeing couple HHWW, social media friends posting cheesy messages to their boyfriends/girlfriends, and other constant reminders of your single life will be out in the droves this month. Even if your single I want you to feel that is okay to be single and you can be happy this Valentine's Day. So I've come up with ideas that treat V-day not as a day to glorify romance, but as a day to celebrate love in general – first of all, love for yourself, your family, your friends, your community and for the world.
Treat yourself
Since Valentine’s Day is all about love, why not spending the day loving yourself. It makes perfect sense. February 14 fall on Saturday meaning most of you are off from work. Do whatever you want, you can book an appointment to your favorite spa or salon and pamper yourself with a lavish mini-pedi or a relaxing massage. You can invite your single friend also, I’m sure they will love that idea.

Go to the gym
A trip to the gym could help you forget those Valentine’s blues. While everyone else is goofing around the malls, parks or carnival and stuffing their faces with tones of carbs and mountains of sugar, why not head to the gym and get working on that slender summer body. Remember after Valentine is summer!!!

Engage yourself with something NEW
Challenge yourself to do something you haven’t done or try before, or seldom get to do because of your schedule. Try to bake a cake or make a new recipe. Just think you will do that for your future boyfriend or husband. Hehehe :)
Note: "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach"

Embrace singleness
It’s the time you can think about all the marvelous benefits of being single. For example, you can take down a list of all the good points about being single, it will include: free time, no compromises on the home front, less responsibilities and etc. Ladies, focus on the benefits rather than seeing drawbacks.

Take your parents or your grandparents out for dinner
I think this is the sweetest dinner you could ever spend! After all, valentine is spending time with your love ones. Why not catch up with them? Let them know just how much you appreciate the support and love they give for you.

Make Valentine’s Day about giving rather than receiving
Isn’t it feels good to give back the love you received from them? You can make V-day a day where we show our love by giving back. Volunteer, donate or take your pet a walk, do things that show the world you care. Most of you single ladies have a lot of extra time and love, so think about adopting a pet. Why not right??? Nothing says “I love you” more than a wagging tail and sloppy kisses when you get home and you will be saving an animal’s life.

Be a host on a horror movie marathon
If you’re single, obviously watching romantic movies on V-day might put you in a bad bad mood. Instead, invite the rest of your girl friends (which are single too) together and watch some fun horror flicks. I will recommend two movies – Final Destination and My Bloody Valentine 3D. Warning: It’s super, duper violent!)

Laugh it up
Didn’t you know that laughter boosts your mood, reduces stress and most of all makes you feel better. Stick to the saying that “Laughter is the best medicine”. I suggest before you end the day on Valentine, go to some comedy bar sit back, relax and and laugh with them. :)

Be Productive
If your love life isn't the greatest at the moment, you should focus on the other areas of your life. Focus on getting that promotion by doing something that will impress your boss. Work on that creative project that you've been putting off. Do whatever makes you feel productive.

Create some love in your life
Though many of us trend to see love as something that we must “seek” or “find” out in the world, but the reality is that we ourselves have the power to create the love that we desire for ourselves. Love is all around us, so it isn't necessarily something that we must “find,” rather, it is something that we must chose to open ourselves to.

It can be a bummer to be single on Valentine’s Day but only if you allow it to be!!!
There you go! Hope you enjoyed the post :))
