Happy Self Love Day
Today is about YOU, sis
32, single, and pretty much over dealing with giving my energy to men for the strangest reason Valentine's Day has always been one of my favorite holidays.
No matter what type of weird dating situation I'm in during this time of year, I've always treated this day as a "ME Day"
Tonight, I have plans to take myself to see the new J.Lo romantic comedy "Marry Me", order a large bucket of popcorn and chill.
After the movie, I will pick up takeout from one of my favorite restaurants, go home, walk my dog, light candles, put on some early 2000s R&B, and take a nice long bubble bath while reflecting on the "ain't shit" situations I've put myself in with men this past year.
If today has you feeling some type of way, I challenge you to turn it into a LOVE DAY for YOU. This means choosing YOU and ONLY YOU today. Choosing your heart, your spirit, your soul.
Here are some ideas...
1. TAKE A DAY OFF FROM THE GRAM
For the rest of the day, sis... LOG OUT. There's nothing for us, single women, to see on IG or Facebook today.
Save your sanity and just DON'T.
All of the "cute valentines day" stories will expire in 24 hours. You can resume your social media life tomorrow.
If you need your social fix, log into your Femininity Speaking app and talk shit with the rest of us :)
2. DO A DIY PROJECT
Head to the craft store and pick up something that will challenge your creativity.
DIY projects are the perfect way to keep your mind occupied and pass the time.
Plus you end up with a cool keepsake in the end!
3. HAVE A SOLO MOVIE NIGHT
The BEST thing about being single on Valentine's Day is scoring all of the 50% valentines chocolate!!! Yassss!!
Oh and wait until tomorrow, 75% OFF!!! HELL FUCKING YEAH!!!
Head to your nearest CVS and stock up on the discounted V-Day snacks and solo Netflix and Chill it tonight.
If you haven't yet watched the "Tinder Swindler" on Netflix, that's the PERFECT solo self-love movie night.
If you want reassurance that you're doing the right thing by just staying single right now, THIS MOVIE will for sure help you with that.
4. INVITE OVER YOUR SINGLE LADIES
You are NOT the only single one in your group. And even if you are, you are NOT the only single one in your online girl group (me- I'm single with you sis)
Invite some of your other single girlfriends over for a girls-only game night or host a virtual game night via Facetime or Zoom
Our "Girls Night" card game can be for this occasion and others.
iT's RAW, Spicy, and TEA spilling
5. BUY YOURSELF SOMETHING NICE
Treat today like your MF BIRTHDAY!!!
If there's something you've been wanting but couldn't justify spending the money on yourself, GET IT!
A little retail therapy goes a longggg way
…
The bottom line is... being single today isn't the worst thing in the world. In fact, I believe the opposite.
While showing up for yourself today remember that being single is a STRONG choice, not a weak one.
Most of us have walked away from toxic situations that no longer served us, chose our mental and spiritual health over being connected to someone who takes that away from us, or simply refuse to settle for less than we deserve from a partner.
Today is YOUR day, PERIOD.
Don't allow the society fluff and marketing scams of February 14th make you feel otherwise.
Happy STRONG BADASS WOMEN Day, sis
