PLAN YOUR VALENTINES DAY AS A DAY OF SELF LOVE
WITH THESE SURVIVAL TIPS
Start your day in a special way
*Add vanilla and cinnamon to your coffee grounds before brewing and set the timer so the aroma wakes you up in a wonderful mood.
*Dress in red silk lingerie/boxers under anything you decide to wear. Don’t forget a red hat. Men … try a new cologne.
*Go out for breakfast with a friend….have someone wait on you for a change.
*Bring a small gift to someone at work. Leave it on their desk but don’t sign it… and watch that person try to figure out where it came from.
Your lunch break
*For lunch, take a brisk walk outside or around your building, say hello and happy Valentines Day to everyone you see. Eat a salad and drink a tall bottle of water.
*Starting after lunch, eat one piece of chocolate (liquor filled if you can get away with it) when the clock strikes on the hour, every hour till 5 PM.
*At 4 PM stand by your desk and do some stretches or jumping jacks to get the blood flowing. Listen to your favorite CD (with headphones or low volume) between 4 and 5 PM, to put yourself in a great mood for the end of your work day.
After work
*Buy yourself arm loads of flowers on the way home and decorate your home/apartment with them… in every room. They will be there to make you happy when you return home.
*Meet another single friend for happy hour. Go to a brand new bar/restaurant that you have never been to before.
*Join up with more singles for dinner, dancing or karaoke.
*For Women: End your evening in a luxuriously scented bath, slather oil all over your skin, pin your hair up and sleep in a vintage slip.
*For Men: Luxuriate in a hot bath or shower with scented body scrub, moisturize all over and sleep in silk boxers.
Commit to at least one act of Random Kindness:
*Send someone else flowers or candy anonymously; either a crush or someone you know who is also alone on Valentines Day.
*Buy a dozen roses and hand them out one at a time to various NEW people you meet through the day.
*Invite another single to Happy Hour…you pick up the tab!
