These situations can horrible and sometimes sad (trust me, I can relate)... but none of us has literally died from splitting with a loved one, right?!
If you're going through a tough time right now then this, my girls, is for you: A laundry list (okay, just 10 things) of how to get on with yo' bad self after a breakup!
1. Stop communication! If this is too difficult for you to do, try downloading one of those text message apps on your phone that allows you to erase his name from your text feed so you don't have to see his name (but still have his messages in your archives). I like Tansee (because it's always good to have backup of any conversations, just in case).
2. Don’t let any of your friends or mutual friends in on the details of your breakup. This can allow things to get messy. Whatever went down happened between you and him...so it's best to leave it that way.

3. Make a angry playlist to rock out to on your mp3 player. Don’t you dare listen to Adele, some mushy country love songs or anthing like Band of Horses or My Morning Jacket! I'm talking about jammin' to some I-want-to-kick-some-butt music ( I prefer Limp Bizkit, Beyonce, Destiny's Child or Metallica). Also: Take all songs that remind you of HIM off your playlists. It doesn't have to be forever... just for a while until you get your groove back!
4. Work out! No matter how much you want to just stay at home and pout...you must keep, I repeat KEEP moving at all times.
5. Go on a date. How else will you discover what else is out there, possibly waiting to sweep you off your feet? Even if you have a horrible time on your first date post-Splitsville, go on another one!
6. Go get your tan on, your nails & hair done or even schedule a soothing massage. We all deserve a little pampering every now and again, so guess what-- This is the perfect time to spoil yourself rotten!
7. Stretch--It does wonders for your body and soul. Why else is there a booming subculture of "Yogis" out there? Because stretching and unleashing pent-up stress can be sooo exhilarating!
8. Learn something new. Whether it's studying how to make yourself even better at your career, taking up a foreign language or enrolling in a Zumba class... your mind will be focused on something that is bettering YOU instead of wondering what HE might be doing or whether he's ever going call.
9. Watch a motivational movie. If you MUST be a couch potato during this transitional period, at least make it fun. I recommend flicks like Erin Brockovich or something like Legally Blonde (but I don't suggest engaging in a "Bridget Jones Diet" of vodka and cigarettes!
10. Treat yourself to something new. Isn't that why they call it "Retail Therapy?" Doctors say a killer outfit or a sexy lil' number from Victoria's Secret is always the best prescription for a broken heart (okay, maybe it wasn't DOCTORS who actually said that...but it's so true)!
Oh and when I mentioned buying something new I meant....don't forget to check out my new fashion boutique site: PoppyRed.com . This new online shop will feature my favorite trends in clothing, bags & accessories that are sure to cheer up any diva in distress!
So there you have it ladies. 10 things you can do to get on with yo' bad self after a breakup. Stick to this list and you're sure to weather the storm quickly. After all, he wasn't even really that hot anyway. But guess what...YOU STILL ARE.
