Christmas wasn’t even over before I started to see Valentine things in the stores. So, if you’re surprised that Valentine’s Day is this Saturday, you shouldn’t be because it’s been shoved in our faces that it was on the way for almost two months.

If you’re single, Valentine’s Day is definitely a day that tests your sanity. You can either hide under the covers with a pint of Ben and Jerry’s and bawl your eyes out while watching sappy movies all day or you can decide to have fun.

If you’re tired of letting Valentine’s Day get you down, here are three things you can do:

Buy yourself something nice. There’s no reason to break the bank, but if you’ve been eyeing a moderately priced item, there’s no reason you can’t splurge on a little treat. Besides, you’re worth it!

Watch a couple of movies OTHER than romantic or romantic comedies.

Spend time with friends. Valentine’s Day is a good excuse to throw a party as long as it’s not a pity party!
