One of my favorite things about Valentine’s Day are all the sweets involved - whether it’s chocolate, cookies, candy or cake, I love all of the C’s! It’s always nice to give the gift of sweetness, and in this economy, it’s an inexpensive way to give your honey a nicely thought out personal gift. Everyone likes sweets - the best bet is to go with your loved one’s favorite dessert and give it a Valentine’s Day spin. If they love cake, then add some red food coloring to your icing to make it festive. If they tend to like healthy snacks, dip some fruit in some chocolate. Or if they are a good ol’ chocolate chip cookie monster, then get some heart shaped cut outs and go crazy. Whatever you do, your personal touch will make this a very special (and yummy) gift. Don’t forget to put lot’s of love in whatever you make!
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate your loved ones and show them how much you care. For a holiday that’s meant to be full of love and happiness, in actuality it’s often fraught with stress and sadness. Many people in relationships stress about getting everything just right, while many single people are full of scorn, resentment and sadness. Below, I’m outlining some tips that may make the holiday breeze by more smoothly, but in the end, remember, Valentine’s Day is just another day, and we should be showing the ones we love how much we care everyday. If that doesn’t make you feel better, just think of all the chocolate that’s going to be on sale on February 15th - that always cheers me up!
In a Relationship
If you’re in a relationship, there are so many questions that pop up around Valentine’s Day: What should I wear? What should I get for a gift? How can I make the night romantic? And so on. With the economy in the state that it’s in, money will undoubtedly play a factor in many of these questions. My advice? Keep it simple. Showing someone you love them is not about how much you spend - it’s about the thought you put into the gift. Now is a perfect time to get crafty and make that card or break out the icing and start baking. Or, sort out your music and make your best ever mixtape. Even better, instead of going out to eat with the rest of the world, stay in and make a romantic dinner together. A few simple ingredients, some candles and some music and you’ve got a better dinner experience than you could get at a fancy pants restaurant.
Single and Not Interested
Valentine’s Day can be difficult because some people use that day to come out of the woodwork and express their undying love for you - many times it’s someone you would have never guessed (or wanted to have guessed). If you don’t reciprocate the person’s feelings let them off easy. You don’t need to be rude to get your point across. Someone put some thought and effort into making sure you felt loved, and even though you don’t return the feelings, you don’t need to be unkind to express how you feel (unless they’re a stalker). A polite “thank you, that was very thoughtful” will do - no pressure for anything more! Just don’t be mean and stomp on the person’s heart.
Single & Out With The Ladies
For people not in relationships, Valentines’ Day often become a day to get all your lady friends together, get dolled up and intake large amounts of booze. There’s nothing wrong with that - everyone likes to let loose and have some fun. The problem is what happens after the booze . . . lots of women look for love in all the wrong places. They end up hooking up with a dude because he’s there and it happens to be February 14th. Ladies, don’t do anything stupid that you’ll regret the next day. Valentine’s Day is just like any other day - don‘t make it into a big deal and it won‘t be.
I hope your Valentine’s Day is full of love and happiness!

Joshua Katcher, “The Discerning Brute,” met with Todd Oldham to get some tips on getting crafty for Valentine’s Day. They decorate a vegan chocolate cake and Todd makes the loveliest, easiest flower arrangement out of a heart-shaped cake pan. I think I’ll opt for regular chocolate cake but the decorating is adorable and Katcher knows how to ice a cake - something that he makes look very easy, but continues to elude me whenever I try. Watch the video below for an inexpensive way to say a lavish, “I love you.” Happy Valentine’s Day!

Treat yourself this Valentine’s Day to uber soft touchable skin; to a facial. I know what you’re thinking, “but it’s a recession, and I’m a broke ass __.” Well, if you can afford $2.50, and believe me, this $2.50 will S-T-R-E-T-C-H, then definitely scroll down to the next portion of this week’s beauty tip, which is also a RECESSION BUSTER TIP, by the way.
This week’s RECESSION BUSTER TIP: Miracle Whippings – Get Sexy Smooth Skin for Valentine’s Day with this American Dressing, is simply an at home exfoliating/moisturizing facial mask using good old Kraft Miracle Whip. For years I’ve heard about this facial, but just recently tried it, and was blown away by its amazing results and sort of strange exfoliation process. The super easy HOW TO steps are as follows:
A mixtape and a memory stick, make for an uber-clever remix, and possibly a really dope date (a man who gives you music is definitely worth considering). The innovative folks at SUCK UK created a ‘Memory stick with mix tape style gift pack’. It’s a pseudo C60 cassette tape which lifts open and embedded in it is a 64MB USB memory stick with an hour worth of all the jams that tells you how he really feels; track 6 is ‘Rock With You’. This is the perfect Valentine’s Day gift, because music is the best gift ever – well for a recession it is. Like SUCK UK says, “every mix tape is a love letter,” so tell your story selecta.
