Beautiful Love

So my Valentine's Day is not going to be a gushy-dinner-flowers-romantic holiday anymore. Unfortunately yesterday I told my "tentative" valentine that it is probably best if we "end" things. Although the situation is confusing (and I will spare you all the details), I am really happy to have a good head on my shoulders. Yeah I make mistakes, and sometimes I think to quickly, jump the gun (not literally) and act way to spontaneously for my own good...but I wouldn't change myself for the world. So today on Valentine's Day, a day celebrating love, I am going to celebrate myself. This is the first time (in adulthood) that I have ever felt confident in being me. I am finally happy in my own skin; I found love and support in the blogging community that I never knew existed and I have tried to step outside of my comfort zone style-wise (a major confidence boost). Aside from those two things I finally found a work out regiment that works for me and I feel happy, healthy, and strong!
So to all you happy, healthy, and confident ladies out there: let's celebrate being in love with who we are...because it's about damn time!

5 Ways to enjoy a Single Girl's Valentine's Day
  1. Don a pretty dress: it's a day of love, just do it!
  2. Call someone (a family member, friend) and tell them that you love them! Or send a cute Kate Spade e-card! As The Alternative Wife reminded her readers Valentines day is "a day to celebrate all types of love. Love of family, friends, or a significant other. It's about valuing all the love you have in your life."
  3.  Watch the movie Valentine's Day...it's just a feel good movie!
  4. Do something that makes you feel strong and beautiful--go to the gym, take a long walk, buy a new lip stick, paint your nails a pretty ballet pink or fire engine red!
  5. Cheat a little: go ahead and have that piece of red velvet cake, or buy some X&O gummies! You can splurge today! 

Happy Valentine's Day Girls!

  1. Happy Valentine's Day! I have always loved it no matter if I was with someone or single. Maybe it's just the fact that I absolutely adore pink. I haven't seen Valentine's Day I heard that it wasn't that good so I never bother to check it out.

  9. I'm not single, but this is a great list for any lady. I mean who doesn't want to indulge in chocolate or gummies on Valentine's Day? :)

    On another note, it seems like a lot of my friends have been making the mature decision of parting ways with their significant others last week. It's a very mature decision to know what you want and only you know yourself best. Enjoy your special day!
