I’m back! Happy Valentine’s day everyone! I hope you’re all well, and cuddling with that special someone and know that even if you don’t have a boyfriend/girlfriend/ significant other, your special someone or someones could be a family member, a great friend, your cat, Caramel [ one of my future cat names for the win!], or the most important person of all, YOU. Valentine’s day is a day of love and expression of that love whether that’s true love between two people, it’s the unconditional love of mother and child or self love by pampering you or the love you feel after doing something nice for someone else.

Although valentine’s day is over, here are some things that I feel you can do for the remainder of the week or tomorrow or next year, even if you’re not in a passionate relationship with your other half.

1.  My personal favorite…Make a delicious dessert! Today I made homemade chocolate pudding. Jealous? You should be! It was delicious and only took under 5 minutes! Here’s a link to the recipe! http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/02/best-chocolate-pudding/ If you don’t like chocolate, make anything you want? My favorite recipe site is www.foodgawker.com. It’s about you, so give yourself many foodgasms. You deserve it!

2. Do something nice for someone else. Volunteer at a hospital, make cupcakes, draw paintings or bring a smile to someone’s face. I mean, take a note from the Bieber who brightened this little girl’s day!

3.  Pop in your favorite movie. Maybe a romance film, the Lord of the Rings, the L word, Queer as Folk, or your favorite LGBT film?

4. TREAT YOURSELF! Give yourself a spa treatment. Condition your hair. Do your nails.Read that book you always wanted. [ I suggest the Hunger Games] Paint something. Dance in your underwear. Play a video game. Eat a huge bowl of ramen. Masturbate. I don’t care. Do you what you want.

5.  Be with friends or family. Have a dance party. Eat. Have a fun girls night! Guys: Have a video game night or a fun night with the guys or all your friends. Point is to do what you want, without stress and have fun.

 

6.  Go to a museum or a show. I’m a big fan of www.stagebuddy.com. Type in what you want to see, where you are in nyc, your price range and when you want to go and there you have it. A long list appears with possible places to see.

Or… spend time with your friends in GLASA QC.  We’re seeing Rocky Horror on the 24th! Details on the Glasa facebook group page!

7. Do something new! Try rockclimbing or skydiving! Or if you’re less daring try your hand at crochet or knitting or painting. Who knows…you could be the next michaelangelo.

 

8. Sleeep. Really? Who doesn’t enjoy sleep?

 

9. Dream lots and Dream big. Think about where you want to go in life and what you’ll do to get there.

10.  Play with your cat or dog. I’m sure they’ll love the attention!

Lessons learned : 1) Forget all this “I’m so alone on Valentine’s day”, “Single Awareness day”..& “Why am I single??” crap. 2) Best love is self love! 3) Spend your night with the beautiful you. Because if you don’t love yourself first, how can you expect someone else to? 4) There are many types of love to be celebrated than just the love within a relationship.

And with that I hope everyone had a HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY whether you’re in a relationship or single! ♥

So what did all of you do this Valentine’s day?
