How to Get Through Valentines Day

February is here, and singles are cringing. The thought of pink and red hearts may cause nausea, but you're not alone. If you haven't been hit by that diaper wearing baby's arrow, what do you do on the most romantic day of the year?




There are better things to do than sending yourself flowers. That will just set you back $40, and leave you with a mess of dead petals in a few days.

Since restaurants will be jam packed with couples wining and dining, (which can be depressing to watch) stock up with a few bottles of wine and have your (single) friends over to your place!

Why not test out that new recipe you've always wanted to try out. Or play around with some new cocktail ideas. Flirtinis are always a hit!

Once everyone has had a few drinks, discussions can begin about what a ridiculous holiday Valentines Day is, and how it was only established t0 bump up sales at Hallmark.

Have everyone bring something, flowers, chocolates, balloons, or whatever seems fun at the drug store. That way, all the singles can go home with something in hand.


If, by chance you don't have a handful of single friends on standby for this day of love, make the day about you. Go shopping, get a message, or just set aside some time to do something nice for yourself. It is okay to love yourself on Valentines day.

It can be fun, there is NO point of stressing over a silly holiday like Valentines day. Keep your chin up, it's only 24 hours!
