Ahhh Valentines Day, probably the only holiday that either causes warmth to your heart or makes you want to cringe. Either you're the sappy person who loves everything romantic, the bitter person who hates it, or in a relationship and only celebrate because they feel obligated to do so. Personally, it's just a holiday, but if you're feeling a little down spending another V-day alone here's your guide to help you embrace your single days:

1. Watch "The Notebook" (or your sappy movie of choice) and drink wine, lots of it.


2. Make your friends your valentine, there's nothing wrong with buying each other chocolate!

You can never have enough chocolate.



3. What better way to show off your singleness then going to the movies to watch a movie on how to be a boss at the single life.

"How to be Single" comes out right around this time so it's the perfect movie to have a great night with your girlfriends (plus there's popcorn involved).

In case you wanted to see the trailer, I did it for you. You're welcome.


4. Have a Galentine's Day party.

Galentine's Day equals a mix of gal and Valentine's Day, cute right? Wear your cutest outfit (for the Insta pics) grab some alcohol, head over to your best friends place and just elaborate all things girly

5. Make some delicious treats you find on Pinterest there are literally thousands.

Did you catch the trend here? Most of these activities involve food...food>boys.

6. Have a girls night out, if you're not a party thrower head out to the nearest club, or bar and just dance the night away.


Plus you could meet cute boys who are also just as single..

7. And if your plans fail or you're just feeling the need to do so...theres always Tinder.

Just remember it's a hallmark holiday, It does not determine your self-worth or happiness and definitely doesn't mean you're going to be forever alone with cats. Embrace your singleness and just enjoy not having to spend money on someone else.

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.
