Well it seems like that dreadful holiday that is a constant reminder of your nonexistent relationship could have not arrived any faster: Valentines day. With so much going on in your life, including the many failed attempts to start a new relationship, it seems like you’re going to spend yet another Valentines day single. Yes, you could mope around in your lonely sorrow while drinking a whole bottle of wine by yourself and watch your favorite romance movies hoping that one day you’re able to find your own Noah. Before you make this your official Valentines day plans, take one good look in the mirror and snap out of it; realize that you’re more than this. Instead reward yourself because although a relationship was something that you were unable to accomplish, you were able to accomplish many other things that are far more important than a relationship. Here are some good Valentines Day gifts you can always give yourself.  

1. That lipstick 

You been having your eyes on it for a while now; every time you walk in the mall you look at it and even try it on but that Mac lipstick is just too expensive and you have more “important” priorities at the moment. For the sake of Valentines Day, go ahead and buy the lipstick.  

2. Those heals you’ve been wanting  

As a girl there is no such thing of ever having too many shoes! How could you have enough shoes when there are so many?  Get yourself those heels you been eyeing.  

 

3. A silk robe  

Feeling sexy is not always for another person, in fact, feeling sexy is more beneficial for yourself. What’s better than a silk robe. Although sweats can be pretty comfortable, feeling sexy can do so much more for your self-esteem.

4. A journal  

Having a personal journal is something you should consider having. The reason being is  because time will eventually pass, and what better way than to have the most personal memories and thoughts always with you. One day you’ll be able to look back and smile and reflect on how much you have grown as a person. For the present time, a journal can help you vent when you need to. A journal is such a beautiful item, so go ahead and spend thought on the one you decide to write your memoirs in.  

5. A new tattoo  

Just like that Mac lipstick, a tattoo is something you been wanting for awhile now. Whether its your first tattoo or your sixth tattoos are a way to express yourself without having to say a word.  

 

6. A plane ticket to your next vacation 

Instead of going out to eat for the next month, don’t. Buy some groceries and cook at home. Use the money you’ve been saving to buy a plane ticket and go on your next vacation. After all life is about living not just existing.  

7. A day at the spa  

With school, work, internships and stressing about your future you’re exhausted more than half the time. Take some time out for yourself and have a day at the spa and pamper yourself to take care of both your body and mind. 

8. New bedspread  

You can only have the same bedspread for so long until you begin to get sick of it. So this Valentines Day, go to Target and buy yourself a new one.  

 

Valentines Day doesn’t have to be such a drag.  After all you’re not alone, you’ve always had yourself. 

 

HCXO!
