Dina: "Valentine's Day Can Go Scratch"

Dina Manzo explains why she's not a fan of Valentine's Day and with whom she usually spends the holiday.

By Dina Manzo

Hi everyone, 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

It was a busy weekend -- I had two Project Ladybug events (www.projectladybug.org), one was out in East Hampton and I was driving back while the episode was on, so forgive me for not tweeting. 

As I expressed back when we were filming, my condolences go out to Melissa and her entire family. Cancer is such a monster, I pray for the day that we see a cure. 

You all know Vikki from Bravo's Untying the Knot as a feisty divorce attorney, but she's also an old friend of mine from high school. I love that I can turn to her for advice on my separation; I know she'll always have my best interest at heart. It's a very hard subject for me to talk about, and I think you could tell by how swollen my eyes were from crying the entire drive to her office that day. I am doing the best I know how, and I'm so grateful for all the support that I have in my life. 

Valentine's Day can go scratch... I'm over it. I choose love every day, not just one cliché holiday that makes people feel like crap if they're alone. I'm learning more and more about relationships everyday --  why we choose and attract the mates we do and how to attract the right one for you. Use today's new moon to manifest what is meant for you and how to get rid of the blocks that are preventing it. Here's how!

It was nice to see how everyone else spent their holiday, and I like how the twins included their parents. To be honest that is exactly how I usually spend Valentine's Day, with my first and forever Valentine, my Dad. When I said I never had a nice Valentine's Day, I meant in the romantic sense. It will be hard to find a man that loves me more than he does across the dinner table anyway, so there you go.Finally although I think it was very sweet of Joe Gorga to get the kids a dog, I really wish he adopted a pup instead of buying one. There are so many beautiful rescues out there that need a loving home. Check out one of my favorite organizations here and see what I mean!  

No comment on the last scene of the show, other than I'm still baffled why Jim would join this group if his intention was to distance himself from the Giudices. Who's the one with the IQ of 12 now? 

Keep your vision boards coming, and remember, I'll choose a winner at the end of the month! Winner gets the life they've always imagined AND a pair of Ladybug sleepers! Visit dinamanzo.com for instructions and links to fast forward the life you're meant to live. 

Until next time!

For a good time follow me on social media, although this week I might be a little sad as it's the last week my Lexi will be home with me. My girl starts her college journey on Sunday and the cats are already freaking out. 

Lots of Love,
Dina xoxo
