Be Your Own Valentine

This year is no different from any other year for me, I’m single on Valentine’s Day. Don’t shed a tear for me though because I have encouraging news for my fellow Plus Size singles. The best Valentine’s Day gift anyone can give is genuine true love.

If you know how to love yourself receiving chocolates, flowers and lingerie on 1 day out of 365 is nothing. In today’s society how many can say they got flowers just because? I’ve been in relationships when I’ve received cards, candy, flowers, or jewelry on days that had nothing to do with a birthday or a holiday and those are the times I choose to remember. I’ve also received things from people on Valentine’s Day just because. There weren’t any true emotions or real thought behind the gift, just empty Hallmark words.

If you don’t have a Valentine this year then don’t fret – be your own. Wine and dine yourself this year. You do have options. You can stay home, cook a fabulous meal, take a hot bubble bath with some smooth music and chill with a nice glass of wine, candles and chocolates. Or you can go out to some of the anti-Valentine’s Day festivities. Never heard of them? Well, believe it or not, not every restaurant believes in 50% off for 2. Tijuana Flats for example gives out Free Beer and $2 Sangria for SINGLES -not a typo.

So check around and let those who are single and self-loved unite!
