Valentine's Day When You're Single

If you find yourself single for whatever reason on this Valentine's Day, send out thoughts of love and let the self-pampering begin.  Treat yourself special.  After all, aren't you the best person to be around?

Whether February the 14th falls on a work day or not, enjoy some quality time throughout this month.  Here are some ways to luxuriate in your independence:

• Have fun!
• Make a Cuddle Basket the day before to enjoy during tonight's movie marathon or some good ol' binge watching of your favorite series.  Include items like a new throw blanket, hot chocolate (here or here), gourmet popcorn, and some semi-homemade cookies.
• Swaddle in your blanket and journal or read.
• Linger in your lounging wear.
• Dress up and go to a museum.
• Treat yourself to something at a spa.
• Try going tech-free; set your phone for emergency or to receive calls only from your favorites list.
• Go sightseeing in your own city or visit somewhere that's within a day's drive.

Cook yourself a favorite dinner or try out a new recipe.  If the recipe seems like it makes too much then simply scale back on the ingredients.  If baking, check on the doneness as the time gets close - the smaller the item may take less time.

African Spinach Coconut Soup  

Gluten-Free Seitan

Tres Leche Cake 

*Most recipes can handle being changed to suit individual taste.  For example, substitute chicken for the Seitan.  Liquid Amino Acids is a nice alternative for Soy Sauce.

Or just forget February 14th, otherwise known as "Valentine's Day", and skip right to Singles Awareness Day - February 15th.

However you choose to spend your day, weekend, or month; I wish you love and happiness.

p.s., here's something that might make you smile.
