Conventional wisdom is that Valentine's Day is for couples, but who needs convention? If you're single on Valentine's Day, we at Black Voices think it's a perfect time to show love to the the number one person in your life -- yourself -- and share special times with your other single friends. Click through for some ideas for how to make the most of your single Valentine's Day!
Self-Love on V-Day
Grab some delicious-smelling products (try Carol's Daughter) and treat yourself to a nice, luxurious bubble bath. Bring along a nice glass of wine and some strawberries or chocolate. It's like a virtually cost-free at-home spa treatment.
Don't wallow in your singledom on Valentine's Day -- think about others instead. Take the opportunity to give back to the community by volunteering or doing some charity work. It does wonders for the heart!
There's no better way to banish your ex-girl from your mind than to organize a guy's night out with the rest of your single friends. Hit up your favorite spots -- the night is yours.
Splurge on some good old fashioned pampering. Book a massage at a spa, or, better yet, have a masseuse come to your place. Maybe one day you'll be getting a his and hers (or a hers and hers or a his and his) massage on Valentine's Day, but for now, enjoy this special treat at half the price.
Give yourself a positive gift. Humanity for All sells metallic leather bracelets that are as inspirational as they are fashion forward. Wear one as a constant reminder to be positive, give back and make a difference ($42, www.humanityforall.com).
Just because you're single doesn't mean you get a lot of "me" time. You have co-workers. Children. Parents. Siblings. Take some time to yourself. Grab a good book. Buy yourself something pretty, like Teavana's Musee de The Glass Teapot, (34.95, Teavana.com) and brew a soothing cup of tea. And just take the night to yourself. You deserve it!
Have a naughty "girl's night in." Gather your lady friends and plan a Passion Party -- a consultant will come to your home and demo and sell a wide array of sensual products. Giggles will abound, but the wallets come out at the end!

Being self absorbed is probably why your single on Valentines Day in the first place. Instead of indulging in more selfishness, why not go out and do something for someone else for a change, and next Valentine's Day, you probably won't be alone!!!!
