Valentine’s Day should be full of romance and sweet surprises, but sometimes things can just go the wrong way, even with the best of intentions. So to help your Valentine stay on the right track here are our top 5 do’s and don’ts for Valentine’s Day, suitable for posting on the refrigerator in large font to help your guy get it right.

Definitely Avoid for Valentine’s Day

1) Weight scales, exercise videos, low cal sweets or anything that suggests you think she needs to trim down or change her appearance.

2) Gift certificates for make-overs – goes along the lines of number one above.

3) Unless she has specifically expressed a desire to get tools, TVs or video games, skip these too.

4) New tires for her car.

5) Dinner with your mother.

You’ll get bonus points with these:

1) Champagne and a single red rose.

2) Two absolutely decadent double dark chocolate truffles, cupcakes or brownies beautifully wrapped.

3) You make her favorite dinner and do the dishes.

4) A gift certificate for a relaxing spa experience.

5) Send a Tweet-sweet message or email telling her you can’t wait to see her. Or an “I Love You” note under her pillow.

And to make sure you are Valentine perfect, pamper yourself with a Striking Mini Facial.

I was really hoping that Phil, the groundhog, would say only 2 more weeks of winter and then on to spring. But not today on Groundhog Day, the little guy said 6 more weeks of winter. Which to some seems reasonable and to others seem unimaginable. Some areas of the country have had a long drawn out winter already and 6 more weeks could seem a little much to them.

Is your skin ready for 6 more weeks of winter? Remember to keep skin hydrated with moisturizers appropriate for your skin type. Skin can change from oily one week to dry another when climates and seasons change. For many, winter months can lead to dry, uncomfortable skin. Striking Restorative Moisture Creme is an emollient moisturizer that leaves skin hydrated and protected from antioxidants. It also has a SmartPeptide (palmitoyl hexapeptide-14) in it to help firm skin and help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Have you ever noticed that when your skin is dry, wrinkles and fine lines are enhanced? Applying moisturizer can help to hydrate skin for a more vibrant look. Stay warm and keep your skin hydrated and hopefully spring is just around the corner.
