6 Ways To Be Your Own Lover This Valentine's Day

We have survived the whiskey on the rocks from New Years. Now, February has come into our lives with the hope of warmer temperatures in and outside of the bedroom. Maybe things are heating up for you and your latest Tinder swipe right date that actually turned out alright. Well good for you my friend. If not and you find yourself single this Valentines Day, don't fret. Let's take this holiday head (or lack thereof) on. I have a list for the woman or man that may need a little extra lovin’ this Lovers Day. It’s going to come from a very secret admirer. Yourself. Things you may want to consider doing to celebrate a newfound love: that being YOU, baby.

1. Book A Flight

Get out of your regular day to day schedule and set your watch to a different time zone. I have to say, putting yourself in a place you’ve never been, eating food from places you’ve never dined, and walking along unfamiliar streets is erotic in its own way. Also who knows what locale you may meet? (wink, wink) I'm thinking next years Valentine.

2. Order Thai

Why wouldn’t you order Thai takeout? Honestly, this is one of my answers to anything. You are sad, thai takeout. You aced a test, thai takeout. You are alive, thai takeout. So, of course thai takeout applies to showing yourself a lil' extra love. There is nothing like getting your takeout, eating it on the couch, lounging in your panties, drinking a lil' wine and catching up on the next Netflix series.

3. Play the Leading Role

Who doesn’t love a little role play? Pull out the wig from that Halloween two years ago and head to your local bar. Take a seat my friend and name yourself a name you’ve always wanted to try out. Let the scene play out and that magic happen. Are you a Miranda at heart? Try it out. What have you always wanted to do living as Miranda? Keep it cool, simple and fun. Take him home if you please, but maybe share your real identity first.

4. Night out on the Town

Whether you are a man or woman in this situation there is nothing like getting the squad together. The ultimate squad knows what to do in these situations. The term “Turn Up” is feelin’ a lil' 2016, but it’ll do for now. New Years Resolution: new saying for getting lit, drunk and kissing inappropriate people. I'll get right on that one. Anyways, get yo ass out of the house and ya’ll take on the town. A night of dancing and bar hopping never hurt nobody.

5. Masturbate

Simple, but effective. Enough said.

6. Buy “The Thing”

We all have that “thing” added in our cart that we just haven’t purchased yet. This is your day to treat yourself to something that you have wanted. Who cares if you don’t need another designer handbag or oversized watch. You want it. Buy it baby.

To all my Lovers out there, I love your love.

To all of my single ladies and men, this holiday is about celebrating you. So lets celebrate self love at its finest.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
