Perfect Your Pout for V-day
Red lipstick has always made a statement. Cleopatra used a version of red lipstick made from crushed carmine beetles, Queen Elizabeth I of England used one made from beeswax and red plant stains almost 500 years ago and the Flappers of the 1920′s used red lipstick to show their rebellious nature. Today red lipstick is as popular as ever and its ability to make the lips look plump and kissable means that it will probably be around for many years to come! Here’s our guide to getting the sexiest, kissable red lips for Valentine’s Day.
V-Day Gifts by Relationship Stage

Valentine’s Day is one of the trickiest holidays to shop for. Any type of gift you get is going to send some kind of message, and is symbolic of what type of relationship you have. No pressure or anything right?! But what people forget is, this holiday isn’t supposed to be serious. You don’t have to shower anyone with diamonds and flowers just to prove your love.
It’s time to think outside the heart-shaped box this year and look for gifts that are fun and creative. Of course jewelry will NEVER be turned down when offered. So if you’re feeling a little overwhelmed what to get your Valentine this year, whether it’s your spouse or just a crush, look no further than our Gifts by Relationship Guide.
Wedding Alert

When I was planning my wedding last year, I had a hard time finding vendors that matched my sense of style and were within my price range. Well, indie brides of the world unite because Urban Outfitters is launching their very own BRIDAL line called Bhldn on Valentine’s Day this year.
The uber popular retailer for teens and young adults is taking the plunge, tying the knot and jumping on the wedding band wagon. It seems like everyone has a bridal line these days, but I’m pretty excited to see what this collection brings. I’m hoping for lots of vintage and DIY inspired gowns and accessories at affordable prices for all of the brides out there who want their wedding to be as unique as they are. source: blog.gifts.com
