Healthy Chicks

a sample of my cupcakes…

As you know, this is my first year with a Valentine, but it doesn’t mean I forget all those 23 years I hated the damn holiday. If you’re a single lady it’s not exactly fun seeing all of your coupled-off friends overflowing with special gifts and roses and ginormous teddy bears. So, if you want to be a super duper good friend this year, make some last minute gifts for your single AND “taken” friends alike. Here are some ideas:

If your friend is single:

-A “F*ck Love” CD with songs like “Fuck It (Don’t Want You Back)” by Eamon, “No Scrubs” by TLC and “He Loves You Not” by Dream.

-corny valentines (I got my friends Sesame Street ones)

-fun silly bands – seriously, they are so fun!

-an ugly cupcake to throw at the sidewalk on your way to work decorated with brown sprinkles, an exploding heart gummy, cinnamon and black pepper (seriously, we really did this for our roommate and she said to “make it uglier.”)

-undies! (can a gal have enough?)

-a special treat i.e. a manicure or massage (if you’re a super duper nice friend)

-bake ’em a nice meal (all of our roommates made Chicken Parmesan with salad and garlic bread together last night, and it was DELISH.)

-girl time (just ’cause you’re boyfriended up doesn’t mean you should forget your gals!)

-a hug

If Your Friend is Taken:

-pretty, yummy cupcakes

-a “Love Songs” CD with goofy love songs of the past like “Love Shack”, “Crazy in Love” and “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?”

-a fun card or sweet note

-CANDY, CANDY, CANDY

-red nail polish

-heart-shaped silly bands

-a hug

-your advice (on what to get their boy for the big day or what to cook him for dinner – this is serious stuff that needs much attention)

Happy Valentine’s Day to all my beautiful ladies! Are you single or taken this year? Any big plans?
