As a confirmed bachelorette when days like Valentine day comes around I make sure to treat myself to something special.  I know a lot of girls will be showing off gifts they’ve purchased themselves aka “doing it for the gram” and claiming it’s from their man.  I’m here to say be honest.  In the words of the great Donna Marie Meagle of Parks and Recreation “Treat Yo Self!” and know it’s ok to do so.

Whether you plan to celebrate Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day or Singles Appreciation Day  I have made the perfect gift guide for you.

The Single Girl’s Valentine day gift guide will focus on 3 of my favorite things.  The first item will be dresses.  Dresses are an easy way to celebrate yourself and show your personality.  The second will be lingerie.  I’m a huge fan lingerie.  As a single woman, I personally wear lingerie for myself often.  It’s a great way to spice up an outlook.  Lastly purses.  Purses as an accessory are my go-to way to take a look to the next level.

 The guide’s color wheelhouse is red and pink.  Both colors have long been associated with Valentine’s day.  Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love. Red is a very emotionally intense color. It enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate, and raises blood pressure.  Pink is the English word for a color often called rosa in Italian, German and Spanish. A color named after the most romantic flower must have something to do with Valentine’s Day! Pink is created by mixing red and white, making it a purer form of the lusty red.

If anything catches your eye simply click the item for direct purchase.  Be sure to tag me on Instagram so I can see how you styled these items.  Even though I’m single this Valentine’s day I’ll be making the love of my life, my nephew Jaivon, a beauty gift basket.  He has brought so much love and joy to my life.  He’s my Valentine every day!
