Who’s Your Valentine?

[hr height=”15″ style=”zigzag” line=”default” themecolor=”1″]

1. Do something you love in a place you’ve never been.  For example, I love to sing and I haven’t done a performance with a great band in a while. Therefore, I have arranged to be a guest with one of the top Jazz bands in the area. I will share my gift of singing with all the lovebirds in attendance.

 

2. Shop for yourself! Go out and get a sophisticated outfit that compliments your body and your personality. Personally, I love pencil dresses and skirts, but this year, I think I will try a romper or something avant garde.

Here are a couple looks you can check out:

3. Book a full body spa treatment and get in the zone. I love full body massages. These are the only times some parts of my body get the full attention they deserve. Trust me ladies, deep tissue is the best followed by a specialty facial.

 

4. If you are a foodie like me, you know that no date is complete without a special meal. While I don’t recommend dining alone in a restaurant on Valentine’s Day, I do recommend getting takeout from your favorite or exciting new eatery.  The restaurants will likely be crowded, plus who wants to watch a bunch of lovebirds making out in public without your significant other next to you? Not me!

 

5. Take time to meditate on your past accomplishments and upcoming opportunities. Meditation is an awesome way to reflect on what you have accomplished and what your next move is to maximize your happiness. I have created many songs, book chapters, business ideas and developed many solutions to challenges, and planned a multitude of future goals through meditation.

 

6. After you meditate, take the time to develop a schedule that is feasible, acceptable, and suitable. I find that having goals tied to solid deadlines are a great way to hold yourself accountable.

 

7. Get your hair done girl! I love to look my best. It makes me feel amazing! I will start this Valentine’s Day by getting my hair styled for the occasion. I feel more glamorous when I accessorize, especially when it’s my hair.

 

8. Try a new lip color that pops! I encourage you to celebrate your natural beauty by highlighting your wonderful traits. For me it starts with my smile. If you follow me on social media, you know that I experiment with different lip colors. Lipstick and lip gloss are my favorite makeup items.

Check out this site for a variety of lipcolors. I love the liquid lip colors.

9. Do something special for a friend that is not directly related to Valentine’s Day. Taking care of a friend for the sake of friendship always make me feel good. It’s exhilarating and gratifying.

 

10. Take care of you, physically as well as spiritually. One activity that I do to balance my scales is to go for a long run (long is a relative term). I run for my physical health as well. It may not be the best mean of exercise for my joints, but it soothes me mentally.  Running helps my creative process because I am forced to be one with myself. This works whether I go on a long jog or a long walk. This is how I will start this Valentine’s Day. I encourage you to do the same!

There you have it, 10 things you can do for this special day without feeling the need of celebrating it with someone.

 

Make it a fantastic month! Do all things with courage and grace.

Sincerely,

Maxine Chang Reyes
