Valentine without the significant other

Many hearts are waving, anticipating Valentine’s Day. If you have just separated from your partner, don’t get depressed. Instead, splurge and treat yourself. There is no better time than now to get in shape. Who knows? You will find a new love waiting behind the scenes, so spoil yourself and enjoy Valentine’s Day with your dearest friends and your favorite things.

A Valentine’s Day alone?

When Valentine’s Day comes, all the lovers in the world will celebrate it. There will be intimate dinners, dancing, a walk in the park, movies and popcorn, and a date at the ice cream parlor. The postman will deliver cards and the inboxes will be full of cute messages. But if you just broke up with your boyfriend, chances are you are crying with your heart, especially if you have found out that you are dating someone new.

If you intend to drown your pain in alcohol and emo music, expect to look like a mess the next morning. What if you meet your ex the next day? That would be a real shame. So instead of ruining your appearance, splurge and pamper yourself. Treat yourself. Go ahead and roll up your sleeves. Treat yourself to a spa treatment at home, prepare a Mexican dinner, chill the wine and watch the latest movie on DVD. And not a romantic movie, please. You’re better off with adventures and thrillers right now. Nothing should make you feel sorry for yourself.

The Best Things to Do When You Spend Valentine’s Day Alone

Before the big night, get a new hairstyle and enjoy a beauty makeover. In short, spend your money on yourself. Or, if you prefer the privacy of your own home, of course, enjoy a warm bath. Light scented candles, play soft music, and think ahead. Losing your man is painful and it’s hard to get over the separation. But it’s not the end of the world yet.

The key to a successful Valentine’s Day is just keeping busy. Call your single friends and those who are not engaged to anyone at the moment. Get dressed and do your best. Apply some of your most expensive perfume. In short, it smells and looks like a movie star. Get ready to meet new people. There are guys out there who are also going through a nasty breakup. Be happy. Don’t bore your friends to tears with your sad story. They’ve had their share of breakups too, but if you watch them closely, they’re happy and having fun. There are no more traces of recriminations and loneliness. So party and have fun, but be careful with the drink. Drinking too much could bring up bittersweet memories.

If you prefer to be home alone, why not? Throw a big feast with the leftovers from the gourmet gift baskets you accumulated last Christmas. You can sit on the large sofa bed, watch TV, or listen to your favorite music. A good book can also be a good companion. Remember to call your parents and siblings or send them an email with your regards. It is always encouraging to know that you have people who love you and are just a phone call away. So go ahead and face Valentine’s Day with a smile and hide your broken heart for the moment. The sun will continue to shine the next day.
