Valentines day used to be one of my favorite holidays because I could make cute little romantic things for that boy, with a gushy card, and fluffy things and chocolate and boxes of love and oodles of kisses. HOWEVER now after being single for ...cough cough... years I LITERALLY die every valentines day and usually start crying at some point because I am truly a hopeless romantic and just feel like I want to punch a cat all day.
BUT THEN when I moved to NY in 2009 I started celebrating Galentines day with all my gals! We would all make delicious desserts, write eachother cute little V-day cards, take lots of pictures, wear red lipstick and make it a happy day. YAY!Now, I'm back in CA, Gal-less, loveless, and hope-less(not REALLY...just when it comes to boyz).
SO I'M CELEBRATING VALENTINES DAY IN A LOVING HEALTHY WAY!!
1. Buy yourself cute little gifts like sassy new lingerie. You will secretly know how cute you are in them and you can walk around your house in nothin but your skivvies like a boss!
or B. get some comfy sweats, and a moo-moo cause you're single and it does'nt matter what you look like around your house anyway...
2. Make a point to get to the gym or in a workout class!! Since you have all this free time might as well get that rockin body you lust after on instagram right?! SPLURGE on those dollars for your personal health!
or B. don't exercise, watch re-runs of sex and the city and find camaraderie among other woman who are also unhappy and single and disguising it in various ways.
3. Upgrade something in your life! Whether it be electronics, your sox with holes, new sneakers? I checked with my phone service and I can upgrade my phone so I will be giving myself a new phone this V-day...maybe even make it red or pink...
or B. Don't spend the money and don't upgrade anything and tell yourself you don't wanna waste money that will probably end up gong to random coffee's and groceries/gas anyway and you'll be just a tad bit unhappier because you are guilt tripping yourself into saying you don't deserve nice things because you don't have a "real job"...
4. Either bake yourself a delicious homemade chocolate cake or splurge and buy yourself some Godiva choc strawberries!Let yourself guiltlessly indulge
or B. get cheap oreos eat the whole package with milk and think FML after you pass out from the sugar coma.
5. serve at a childrens hospital or homeless shelter or anywhere that truly needs people to love them and spend the day giving back
or B. spend the day inside, isolated not really caring about anyone but yourself and surf online dating sites to try and make things work on your own...
whoa whoa whoa. Okay this is actually making me feel worse. Coming up with the positive thing to do and the negative thing to do somehow aren't even and the negative ways out...so here in relaity how I will be celebrating V-day.
~I Truly did buy myself Victoria's Secret underwear that are gift wrapped for me to open on Valentines Day.
~ there are amazing sweats by "spiritual gansgter" that say grateful I'm letting myself buy
~I'm upgrading my phone from a 4 to a 5s~doing the 30 day squat challenge as well as upping my cardioand pilates each week to burn some extra fat and will get my BMI tested
~Cutting all sugar and dairy and trying to eat as vegan as possible in order to shrink the waist and feel
~Bake some gluten free/vegan/sugar free treats or go to whole foods and get some agave sweetened chocolate
~wear red lipstick, curl my hair, NAILS and flirt with literally everything I see
~pray, read, worship have some mellow me time
~go to dinner or movies with someone I love that will make me laugh all night long!
~and probably cry at some point... hopefully not in public ;)
I still think I need to do something that actually sounds fun and exciting...any ideas?
Above all I will trust that all things happen within God's perfect timing and for now I am truly happy to be exactly in the center of his hand and his vision for my life
