From Clutch Magazine:

Public service announcement: not all single girls are ugly and depressed with low self-esteem. Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and believe it or not, we can celebrate just like everyone else. Why would we miss an opportunity to pamper ourselves and have a good time?

So, to all the single, sexy ladies, there’s no need to be bitter this love season. Here are 7 ways to enjoy yourself and turn up your single girl swag this Valentines Day!

1. Have a Spa Day
Just because you don’t have a man to pamper you doesn’t mean you can’t hire someone else to do it. Leave work early, get a manicure and pedicure, and enjoy an evening to the spa.

2. Splurge on Yourself 
You have no one the please but yourself, so take the money you would spend on a gift and SPLURG! Send yourself a bouquet of your favorite flowers, order lavish take out and buy yourself those pair of too-expensive shoes. Why not?

3. Party with the Girls
Have a Valentine’s Day party with your best girlfriends. Play board games, sing karaoke, eat good food and share your funniest love stories. The only stipulation is you have to dress up, heels and all. Come in your best little back dress, for if you are feeling spunky, something red-hot.
