If you’re in a relationship, there are a lot of things to keep in mind about a Valentine’s Day. So here are my 10 rules for a successful Valentine’s Day for the girl in a relationship.Screen Shot 2013-02-13 at 5.35.52 AM

1. You will post photos of flowers on Instagram, and people will hate you. If you want to avoid being judged, don’t post a photo of flowers. People will just assume you got flowers like they did for the hundreds of years before Instagram and Facebook existed.

2. DO NOT set up your girlfriends on dates for Valentine’s Day! Are you serious? Talk about pressure.

3. Shave your legs, girlfriend. I know it’s the winter, but c’mon.

4. Send cards to your friends! Remember when you did that in elementary school? Everyone loved it then. They’ll love it now.

6. Cheesecake. Make something for your fave guy that you know he loves. Guys love sweets, too!

7. Buy a new dress. Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to buy a new dress. Want to be a great girlfriend and best friend? Take your best friend with you and both buy a new, fun dress.

8. Make reservations early.

9. Ignore Rom-Coms. It’ll only get you in a fight with your boyfriend.

10. Don’t stay up to late. Let’s be honest. It’s only a Thursday…

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

The Single Girl’s Guide to Valentine’s Day

I will never understand why single girls dread Valentine’s Day. I love it. Pink and sparkly are two of the best things in life, and that’s what this day is basically all about. You have an excuse to dress girly, eat candy and drink a lot of booze – boyfriend or not. How can you hate that? So here’s my single girl’s guide to enjoying Valentine’s Day, Ray Ray style.

Wear a cute (or cheesy) outfit. Today you can girl-it-up and no one can make fun of you for it. Seriously, go all out. Wear pink, red, sequins, hearts…all of the above… Really, anything your girly heart desires is fair game on this holiday.

Heart tights

Own the fact you’re single. A shirt like this says it all:

Vodka is my valentine

Two words – Nail Polish. Take the time to do your nails special for the day. It’s a surefire way to wake up happy when your hands look like this:

Eat an obscene amount of Conversation Hearts. This is the only time of year you can buy the best candy ever made. So enjoy it and have two boxes. Or give them to me. Either way.

Accessorize. What better day than Valentine’s Day to carry this around with you everywhere you go?

Pink Flask

Drink pink champagne. You never need an excuse to pop bottles and for Valentine’s Day you are kind of obligated to do so – so this one is obvious. Grab a fancy glass and let loose.

Make heart-shaped food. Valentine’s Day is a perfect reason to make yourself themed food, which will in turn make you happy. Put together a special lunch, breakfast or dinner (or go crazy and do all three) with heart-shaped and red/pink-colored foods. How can you not have fun with a lunch that looks like this!

So if you are one of those single girls still sippin on a big glass of Valentine’s Day haterade, trust me – the holiday doesn’t have to be miserable. Take some of these notes and you will spend the day looking through rose-tinted glasses. Literally. See what I did there? Hahaha…
