Anti-Valentine's Day

Ugh, Valentine's Day.

Yes, I haven't had the best VD experiences and therefore find it harder with all the pumped out magazine trash about what to get your guy or similar. (Secretly, reading it is a bit of a guilty pleasure but don't tell anyone else that!) Come VD I will be at home alone moping about with no cards same as many others that I know, and so here is the birth of Anti-Valentine's Day (AVD).

Here is a 5 things that I (and maybe you!) will do on AVD:

1. If the only thing you'll be receiving is a card from your mum, then SPLURGE! Personally, as a teenager, I am very attached to high street shops such as Accessorize; this beautiful Betty Bird necklace at only £8 is a bargain.

2. Meeting up with my friends. They're all single and we'll steer cleer of any public places where couples may be.

3. I'll do something that actually makes a difference. I was researching the new film Valentine's Day(which includes everyone including Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner!) when I saw a rather special ad. I clicked and signed up. If in your most depressing moment, you feel no-one will ever want your heart, you can still do something worthwhile; donate it by joining the Organ Donor Register. I donated my heart and think this is the most worthwhile thing I could do with it this Valentine's Day.

4. I'll be spending time re-defining myself. Finding your own distinctive style can take a lifetime but by appreciating your likes and dislikes you can adapt and update it. Don't try and box yourself into a label or stereotype. For example, I love that laid back girl-next-door look but that won't stop me from buying biker boots or preppy blazers. You never know, I may be next-door neighbours to some cute guy who'll be next year's Valentine ;)

5. I'll be ending that long-lasting love affair with my awful makeup collection. My products are all old and near the end of their lives so I will treat myself to loads more. I'll be looking out for season highs but mainly key staples which suit my colouring and style. I'll definately be looking high and low to find a foundation as pale as my skin and a new mascara that won't cost the earth.
