I admit, Valentines Day is not my favorite day of the year. Whether I'm single or dating on the day, I'm not a fan. I'm also not a fan of being negative, so don't worry, this turns positive soon! To me, Valentine's Day has become a crazy, commercialized, overhyped, and forced holiday.
In my opinion, it puts pressure on couples (especially new couples), and I honestly believe it puts a ton of pressure on men, to prove through dozens of roses or expensive dinners out how much his woman means to him. In my opinion, its phony and forced, and not a true testament of love (if it's not done other days of the year too!)
On the flipside, for single people who don't want to be single, it's an in your face reminder of your relationship status (including a constant pictorial of hearts, flowers, teddy bears and all things pink and cuddly!)
These have been my feelings on the holiday since I could spell Valentine's Day :)
This post was inspired by my good friend, Debra Floyd, a fellow entrepreneur & personal shopper, who this year decided to focus her attention for Valentine's Day to single people and the concept of Pamper Me. Debra wishes to encourage single people to treat themselves to something nice on Valentine's Day, whether it be a massage, a new gadget, a new watch or piece of jewelry, or simply a set of new body lotions. I love this idea! Debra is taking it a step further, using her personal shopping skills & expertise, and helping ladies and gents who are single, find the perfect gift for themselves for Valentine's Day!
Loving it (way more than anything else to do with Valentine's Day!)
So single people, I invite and encourage you to do yourself a favor for Valentines Day & treat yourself to something nice :) If you need help figuring something out, email me (I already know what I'm doing!)
In health & prosperity (and to my only post on Valentine's Day),
Monica
