How To Survive Valentines day!

Valentines Day is a great time for people who are in a relationship or wanting a relationship with that person they've been crushing on since they first saw them. But for the rest of us it just makes us feel lonely, so I decided instead of my usual fashiony make-upy things I post, I'd post a few tips on survivng valentines day. 

So here it is:

1. Do NOT under any circumstance go looking for love at this time of year. Just because you might be spending it alone does not mean its ok to 'hook up' with someone for a few days to feel less lonely. Remember you both have feelings and we don't want heart breaks on valentines day.

2. Do NOT ask anyone 'out' around valentines. Even if you have both been 'getting it on' don't ask them out now. It may seem like a good thought seen as though it's the month of love but they might not feel exactly how you think they do, being rejected on valentines day will not make survuving it any easier. Also the thought of spending it alone could be too much and they will let you pamper them and when the season is over... well... let's just say you could be over to.

3. Do NOT  spend valentines day completely alone. Spend the days leading up to it with your friends and family. Be careful not to weird them out too much by being overly loving towards them as this could result in some very awkward "umm... i love you to man. Could you ummm... get off now please?" moments. 

4. Do NOT buy yourself presents! If you do this I'm sorry just please... no more. Buy yourself chocolate buy all means but buying a teddy bear that says "Be My Valentine?" on it? There is no need. Save this job for your future valentine.

5. Do NOT bum yourself down by watching sad movies. Don't sit on your sofa with a hundred and one chick flicks were the beautiful girl gets the beautiful boy, stuffing your face with popcorn and crying "why will no-one ever love me?!" to your cat. Perk up! If this is your plan for valentines, go out! Go for drinks with your friends and have a good evening. 

6. Do avoid couples. I don't mean you should lock yourself away for a week or two but don't be surrounded by cute couples that are always telling each other how much they love eachother. It will only make you more depressed. 

7. Do spend time with your crush. I know what your thinking "You just said don't get together?" Don't get together but meeting up for a drink or a movie. 

8. Do shop 'til you drop! When a time period comes along that we just can't handle (e.g. valentines day, the day you broke up with 'the love of your life') everyone knows retail therapy is the only way to deal with it. Treat yourself to a magical bath bomb from 'lush', a new pair of shoes from where ever you take your fancy, a new lipstick from 'topshop' or a store of you choice and a new outfit from a mixture of your favourite shops. Be careful not to bankrupt yourself nothing is more upsetting then getting a bank statement that says £0.99 left. 

9. Do have a lazy day. My favourite lazy days are snuggled up in bed with hot water bottles enough pillows to drown in and watching films such as "The Lion King" (never too old for Disney!) or "John Tucker Must Die" (Such a good chick flick but is not your traditional soppy type)

10. Finally... Do wish upon a star. There is nothing wrong with wishing that Mr/Mrs Right will walk into your life sometime soon. Give yourself hope. Just because you spend valentines day alone doesn't mean your gonna be forever alone. Just remember "it's ok to be single right now Gods looking down on you thinking I'm saving this one for someone special"

Hope your all having a fantabulous week and this helps you survive the soppy season of love.

Much love <3
