Directions:
To start putting your love potion to work, be sure you have all, or at least the majority of the above ingredients. Start by making sure you're alone and ready to feel good about yourself, and make sure that your room/house is fairly clean in order to make it more comfortable. If the sun is shining, open up the curtains and let some light in! Next, start running some warm, steamy bath water complete with plenty of bubble bath. While you're letting the tub fill, set up and light your candles nearby in a safe place. Also put your chocolates or chosen sweets nearby the tub where they are easily accessible, and have your book handy as well (unless you choose not to read at this time). Then, of course, turn on your music (not too loud - just as a soft background music). Finally, step into the steamy tub and relax. While bathing in your delicious smelling bubble bath, take the time to snack on your sweets, read your book, or just close your eyes and relax (but don't fall asleep!).
When you've finished relaxing in the tub for a while, you can move on to the next step. Keep your music playing, and keep the candles lit if you wish. Set up your facial cleanser and mask, and have your make-up and hair accessories ready. Start by using the facial cleanser to thoroughly cleanse your face, and follow with the mask (using the directions on the label) to make your skin feel soft and smooth. Next, gather your make-up and begin giving yourself a beautiful make-over. Don't rush! Give yourself as much time as you want and get your make-up as perfect as you want it. The whole idea is to make yourself feel good. When you've finished your make-up, use the hair accessories to give yourself a new, beautiful hairstyle. If you don't know what to do, just play around with it until you come up with something. Don't worry what other people would think, because this makeover is for you and you only - and besides, you're alone, so don't worry about it! When you're all finished with your hair and make-up, put on your stylish, but comfortable outfit. Finally, put in your music of choice, or grab a book. Spend as much time as you like doing whatever you want! Since you're alone and you look good, now is your time to party! Play your music as loud as you want - sing and dance, smile, pretend you're a model! Do whatever you can to make yourself feel great. If you want to, take a walk or go out somewhere, but you don't necessarily have to leave the house to feel good.
Take whatever you have and put it to use. Don't worry about how stupid you think you're acting, or how people would look at you if they saw you. This is your time to shine for yourself - it's your time to love yourself and to feel great. Smile and smile continuously! FEEL GOOD! After all, you look good, and you deserve it! Make it last as long as you want to, and if someone comes along and asks why you're all made up, simply tell them, "Because I wanted to feel good about myself! And now I do!".
So now that you have discovered this wonderful love potion, enjoy yourself for at least one day and realize that just because you didn't have someone to spend Valentine's Day with, you're still worth being loved by someone - even if it is yourself. Also, did you know that when you smile it relaxes over 2,000 muscles in your body? So SMILE! ( And have a great day!)
