Listen up, girls! We aren’t crying this Valentine’s Day, we aren’t lying in bed all day watching rom-coms, and we DEFINITELY aren’t texting our ex!
Not to re-traumatize you or anything, but let’s think about how disappointing Valentine’s Day with a man usually is. Nothing sucks more than scrolling through Instagram, looking at all the beautiful bouquets, expensive gifts, and engagement rings (gag) while your man is over here without a single genuine thought floating around in his head.
Even if you were that girl on Instagram that everyone hated on V-Day (sorry!) and you’re missing that this year, there’s a reason why that dusty guy isn’t in your life anymore. What, he thought he could buy some flowers, chocolates, and dinner to make up for his many, MANY faults throughout the year? As if!
This year, babe, things are all about you, and the best person in the world (you) is going to give you everything you dream of. This year, you’re going to set the bar HIGH for every man that comes into your life! Challenge him to give you a better Valentine’s Day than you could ever give yourself, and maybe he can stay.
Love Yourself This Valentine’s Day! Single girls can have just as much (probably more) fun as couples on Valentine's Day! Here are a few ways to celebrate the love you have for yourself this year:
1. Buy yourself flowers
Miley Cyrus didn’t write “Flowers” just for you to sit there and wait around for somebody’s son to bring you the most average bouquet you’ve ever seen! Girl, call the florist right now and put in an order for the most beautiful arrangement they have. Make sure it has all your favorite flowers and all your favorite colors! And don’t forget to leave yourself a love note. Then, go to Target and get yourself a gorgeous vase (the ones the flowers come in are never cute). Put them right next to your bed when they arrive!
2. Go out to a fancy dinner with your bestie
Go to that restaurant you always wanted your ex to bring you to or make a reservation at the hottest new place in town! Bring your bestie along with you and really ball out. We’re talkin’ a bottle of wine, oysters, filet mignon, and dessert! If you bring along someone in a relationship, make sure you remind her how high she should set the bar for her man. YOU DESERVE EVERYTHING!
3. Go shopping!
Is there anything retail therapy can’t cure? No. So, get scrollin’ on your favorite fashion sites, like Monday Alice, and get yourself the cutest Valentine’s Day outfit! Wear it when you go out to dinner with your bestie and ask her to dress up, too. We’re goin’ ALL out!
Don’t wait for a man to make you happy this Valentine’s Day!
