look of love

Ah, the look of love.  You can almost pick the women in the midst of amour right out of a crowd thanks to the effervescent glow of endorphins.  Their eyes sparkle, their cheeks are flushed, and they just look blissful.  But wait… why must we rely on men and love to give us that glorious glow?  Oh, right.  We don’t.  Phew.  And it’s a good thing cause banking on a man for our beauty is like trying to pull yourself away from Pinterest.  Never gonna happen.  From rosy cheeks to shiny lips, here are a few ways to give yourself the look of love.

Gift Guide: An R Rated Valentine’s Day

By |February 8th, 2012|Gift Guide|

no strings attached

There comes a time in a young lady’s life when she meets the man of her dreams (or at least so she thinks…).  When this glorious day finally dawns, it’s time to up the ante in the love department.  Whether he showers you with suggestive gifts or you purchase a little something sultry for yourself, it’s a win-win.  Because let’s be serious, any sort of sexy accoutrement is really a gift for him, right?  You don’t have to be a harlot to be a heartbreaker.  To be clear, sexy doesn’t have to be tacky.  So put back the feathered boa and the Reddi-Whip… there’s a better way.

Weekend Playlist: The Anti-Valentine

By |February 4th, 2012|Weekend Playlist|

anti valentines daySo, let’s say you’re not into the love fest that is Valentine’s Day.  Nothing wrong with that (and you are not alone, my friend).  Some of my most fun Valentine’s Days were not spent lamenting love, but cutting loose with friends instead.  Whether that included cupcakes and sappy rom-com’s at home or dancing on tables at Cipriani, a playlist was needed.  I found it much easier than expected to compile a list of songs that will have love as the furthest thing from your mind.
