I was single all of my 18 years of existence, and then I guess you could say I got "cuffed." The 18 years of singleness did NOT damper my Valentines Day. CHOCOLATE????? YEAH! CUTE CARDS FROM YOUR PARENTS???? YEAH! POSSIBLY A FREE DINNER WITH YOUR MOM????? YEAH! STUFFED ANIMAL/GIFTS YOU DON'T NEED BUT SECRETLY ALWAYS WANT???? YEAH!!!!!!

I love holiday decorations, and so my room is all decked out with heart lights, red and pink garland, and of course those window stickies we all love and secretly want to constantly poke. Just because you don't have a boyfriend, doesn't mean you should pout around all day with your bitterness. Show a friend you care! Galentine's Day? Wine night? Dressing up and eating nice food because why not TREAT YOSELF? Why not eat an entire chocolate cake just because you can? (Okay, I do that every day but at least this is a little more justified). Chipotle???? Yeah that's always a yes. Channel that love and spread it to your friends, family, and of course your food. Pets are also acceptable valentines. My dog doesn't like me very much but it' okay.

So this Valentines day...drink a few bottles of wine, eat a week's worth of calories in one day, and order yourself something nice online. You know why? Because life is too damn short!

If you don't believe me, take it from these lovely gentlemen...

With Chocolatey Love,

Acting Cupid Emily
