6 Ways To Be Your Own Lover This Valentine's Day

We have survived the whiskey on the rocks from New Years. Now, February has come into our lives with the hope of warmer temperatures in and outside of the bedroom. Maybe things are heating up for you and your latest Tinder swipe right date that actually turned out alright. Well good for you my friend. If not and you find yourself single this Valentines Day, don't fret. Let's take this holiday head (or lack thereof) on. I have a list for the woman or man that may need a little extra lovin’ this Lovers Day. It’s going to come from a very secret admirer. Yourself. Things you may want to consider doing to celebrate a newfound love: that being YOU, baby.

1. Book A Flight

Get out of your regular day to day schedule and set your watch to a different time zone. I have to say, putting yourself in a place you’ve never been, eating food from places you’ve never dined, and walking along unfamiliar streets is erotic in its own way. Also who knows what locale you may meet? (wink, wink) I'm thinking next years Valentine.

2. Order Thai

Why wouldn’t you order Thai takeout? Honestly, this is one of my answers to anything. You are sad, thai takeout. You aced a test, thai takeout. You are alive, thai takeout. So, of course thai takeout applies to showing yourself a lil' extra love. There is nothing like getting your takeout, eating it on the couch, lounging in your panties, drinking a lil' wine and catching up on the next Netflix series.

3. Play the Leading Role

Who doesn’t love a little role play? Pull out the wig from that Halloween two years ago and head to your local bar. Take a seat my friend and name yourself a name you’ve always wanted to try out. Let the scene play out and that magic happen. Are you a Miranda at heart? Try it out. What have you always wanted to do living as Miranda? Keep it cool, simple and fun. Take him home if you please, but maybe share your real identity first.

4. Night out on the Town

Whether you are a man or woman in this situation there is nothing like getting the squad together. The ultimate squad knows what to do in these situations. The term “Turn Up” is feelin’ a lil' 2016, but it’ll do for now. New Years Resolution: new saying for getting lit, drunk and kissing inappropriate people. I'll get right on that one. Anyways, get yo ass out of the house and ya’ll take on the town. A night of dancing and bar hopping never hurt nobody.

5. Masturbate

Simple, but effective. Enough said.

6. Buy “The Thing”

We all have that “thing” added in our cart that we just haven’t purchased yet. This is your day to treat yourself to something that you have wanted. Who cares if you don’t need another designer handbag or oversized watch. You want it. Buy it baby.

To all my Lovers out there, I love your love.

To all of my single ladies and men, this holiday is about celebrating you. So lets celebrate self love at its finest.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
