For All The Single Ladies
Alright ladies, these are tip from some ladies on what to do this Valentines Day if your single.
1. Being single with a child on Valentines Day
It is not so uncommon now to have a child and be single. Kuddos to the single moms out there! So if you are single and have a child Shelly's advice is make it as big and fun as possible for you and your child. Make it all about your kid, from making fun crafts to a sweet story. She says "Don't ditch your kid with a babysitter....make your day of love about the one you love, your child"
2. Enjoy the company of your girlfriends
Of course the first thought on your mind when you are single is to get a bunch of your other single girlfriends together and go out right? Well yeah! Best idea is to surround yourself with people who truly love you and want to share in some fun with friends.
Alex " A pizza and beer slumber party with How to Loose a Guy in Ten Days!"
Rosie "The BB!....Beer and Bowling!" Getting a group of girlfriends together to throw balls as hard as they can at pins....not only getting out some frustration but also getting a chuckle.
Debbie " Going out, picking up guys and making one of my married friends be our designated driver" Brilliant! Asking one of your happily married friends to baby sit you and your single friends on Valentines Day is perfect and they will remember all the funny stories to tell you the next day.
Charene " Getting together with a girlfriend for Sushi, wine and the movie I Hate Valentines Day...enough said"
3. Do what you want to do, it's your day!
I think Erin said it best, it's awesome to be single. On Valentines Day if one of her friends wants to go out at 10pm, she can and has no one to answer to. " Identify the things you enjoy in life and capitalize on that " says Erin. A whole day all about you! Now you have two days a year all about you, your birthday and now "Singles Awareness Day"! Score
4. Take the Valentines shift at work
Shawna's advice for single women is if you work somewhere social (i.e restaurant/bar) take the Valentines Day shift. Not only are you able to socialize and not be alone, your customers are more likely to give you a little extra "love" tip wise. Seems like a perfect combo
