Best Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas (part 2)

February 8th, 2010

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Last week you got some great Valentine’s Day gift options,
Now here’s the equally fabulous part 2

Lusting for Lingerie
thong-header1Lacy, racy thongs look hot but wearing them is another story. Stringy designs can feel like a permanent wedgie (there goes the sex factor). Plus, the delicate material can fray after a few washes. Instead, get intimate with sleek seamless thongs. Commando thongs are incredible. They come in all kinds of prints and colors and are so comfy, you really feel like you’re going commando. To see for yourself, click here. Hoo ha!
BG Tip: If you live in the New York area, here’s a great deal you don’t want to miss. In honor of this holiday (some call it a Hallmark holiday but since V-day is my B-day I consider it legit), if you spend $100 on Cosabella lingerie, you can get a free bikini wax at any of NYC’s four Completely Bare spas. To find out which boutiques are participating in this offer, click here.

Touch My Body
-2Before borrowing Mariah’s lyrics, you best be sure your skin is ripe for the touching. Slather on the Heavenly Gingerlily Moisture Bath & Shower and Body Cream in Molton Brown’s limited-edition Valentine’s Day Gift Box, $56, available in Molton Brown stores. This combo leaves skin soft and scented with delicate notes of tuberose, ginger and cardamon.

A Fragrance For Him (and you)
-1Spicy and musky with notes of bergamot, pink pepper and cardamom, D&G 6 L’Amoureux, which translates to charmer/lover, is an androgynous scent that’s as sexy on him as it is on you; $65.

Spa Worshiper
What can be sweeter than a massage, facial or other decadent beauty treat. Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spas is offering a $15 spa card with the purchase of every $100 gift card or certificate up to $300.

Best Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas (part 1)

February 4th, 2010

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Valentine’s Day is nearing,
Here are some hints to give him,
So you don’t end up with the cliché dozen red roses,
Leave that schtick to the guy who’s in “The Bachelor’s” shoes

Long-distance lovahs
image003
Ease the heartache of a long-distance relationship with The Soft Hugwear Bear with Blanket & Eyemask Set ($25 at Walmart). The bear can be your cuddle bug until you reunite with your love bug, the blanket will keep you warm when his arms can’t and the mask can make sleeping through all the back-and-forth flights a little more comfortable.

Makeup Maven
NARS Orgasm Illuminator - Lo ResIn the mood for a turn on? Try the the Nars Orgasm Illuminator, the new sister product to the widely popular Orgasm blush. The lightweight highlighter has subtle flecks of gold, peach and pink that gives skin that sexy, model-like glow. No wonder it was used to create the looks at the 3.1 philip lim, Marchesa and Thakoon Spring 2010 fashion shows; $29 at Sephora.

Chocolate lovers
-1Godiva Strawberry Rose Candle, $22.50 at CandlesOffMain.com. Unless you’re a sucker for satin sheets and a visit to Sybaris pools, you can do better than the predictable gift of chocolate-covered strawberries. For a refreshing twist that sets the mood, light this yummy-smelling candle.

Luxe Love
0424928405684R_300x400Even if you have it all, here’s a reason to make room for one more bag. Carlos Falchi’s incredible raspberry python tote is on sale until 5pm today for $978 at gilt.com (it’s normally $1,955). A photo of the actual purse in question can only be viewed on the website so here’s an image of another Carlos Falchi tote in a similar shape and size so you can get the idea. The race is on!

The Man Kit
image008When I introduce guys to skincare, I often break the ice with Kiehls; the products are affordable, effective and approachable. To set him up with the grooming basics, gift him this Valentine’s Day set. It’s got the Ultimate Man Scrub Soap, Facial Fuel Cleanser, Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash and Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate; $42. P.S. You get three complimentary samples when you shop on the website.

Heart Health: Go Red For Women Day

February 2nd, 2010

5322-redTomorrow (Feb. 5th) is Go Red for Women Day, a national movement founded by the American Heart Association to keep women aware of the dangers of heart disease. You don’t have to go so far as to dye your hair red, but there are lots of little ways to get into the spirit. Swipe on a red lipstick before leaving the house, pick a red polish at the nail salon, add a Go Red wallpaper to your cell or throw on a red scarf and gloves to keep warm.

However you choose to go red, hopefully it will inspire those around you to be healthy and aware in 2010! To visit the official Go Red website, click here.

How do you plan to “go red”?

2010 Grammy Highlights

February 1st, 2010

568778-taylor-swiftGotta give it up for Tay Tay. She’s practically winning music awards in her sleep, and yet her jaw dropped when her name was called for Album of The Year. Love how the 20-year-old star, who sparkled in a Kaufman Franco dress, remains so down-to-earth, humble and genuinely surprised. She stole the awards part of the show, but Beyonce, the Black Eyed Peas and Lady Gaga drove the ship with their high-octane, futuristic performances. For more Grammy coverage from gossip (Brit Brit was there!) to fashion, click the link http://www.popeater.com/search/?q=Grammys+2010Staples Center lady-gaga-940

Do you think Taylor deserved to win Album Of The Year?
