Lemon Drop Earrings by Dancing Jems

I love the feel of owning something no one else has. When I discovered these beautiful Lemon Drop (Lemon Quartz, swarovski crystal, pearls and vermeil) earrings from Dancing Jems by Brenda Senechal, I was elated. These earrings are definitely unique. Not only are these earrings equal parts luxe and sophisticated they are also reminiscent of India. The jewel tones blend so well into each other and look gorgeous in the day as well as night. I love how they make any outfit feel a bit more exotic.

Valentine's Day Is For Self Indulging

(Chocolate Shoes Available at Gayle's Chocolates $40.00)

I don't know about you, but I love myself and I can't help but spoil myself. I suggest you do the same and what better day to do it than Valentines day? So here are my favorite new products that are perfect for pampering the princess inside you while your best friend swoons over her well received plush animals.

The art of shaving isn't reserved for guysanymore. The new womens' line, The Rosebud collection by The Art of Shaving is a blessing for those of us who see shaving as more of a chore rather than pampering. The Rosebud Collection is a whole shaving line filled with luxuriant products with a pretty rose scent that will ensure a flawless shave. I personally love The shaving cream it's gorgeous and lathers up heavenly. For those who hate ingrowns try the In Grown Night Cream and if you want a great after shave lotion for those gams try the After Shave- Body Milk which will leave them silky soft. Read about the whole collection here.


OPI is my favorite when it comes to nail lacquer simply because these nail polishes deliver sleek application, fast drying action so I can run out the door after five minutes of application and long lasting wear. I just love their new Valentine's day collection called E-Romance. With cheeky names like, Text Me, Text You (Clear Top Coat) and Met on The Internet (Haute Pink Matte) how can you resist?

Have you read, Wear More Cashmere? It's a bit old but Jennifer has done it again with Wear More Silk. I haven't read this book yet but I am assuming it's good. I really should stop judging a book by it's cover, but then again my perceptions are usually accurate.

Valentine's Day Suggestions, for Two

FOR HER

What: Romantic Foot Fantasy Kit
Why: The foot is the body’s play station pad to a sensual evening. Want a happy ending? This kit is packed with oils, creams, candles and even a feather to rekindle some of that lost passion.
Where: http://www.valentinesgift.co.uk/


What: A lovers pamper day spa
Why: The year has been hectic and life has thrown so many spanners at you that you’ve gained a toolbox phobia. Couples can forget it all, while getting pampered with facials, manicures, pedicures, a massage, or just a dip in the pool. Nice!
Where: http://www.spaseekers.com/


What: Jo Malone Bath collections
Why: How better to relax than with a deliciously scented bath? The glass decanter bath oils come in a variety of intoxicatingly delightful scents such as: Nutmeg & Ginger, Grapefruit, Verbenas of Provence, Lime Basil & Mandarin and Nectarine Blossom & Honey. Yum!
Where: http://www.jomalone.co.uk/


What: A Love Quest
Why: How fun would it be for your lady to search the city for clues that will lead her to a luxurious hotel suit, adorned with rose petals and champagne.
Where: Your imagination


What: Flowers & Chocolates
Why: I have many male friends who regard this traditional gesture as a waste of time. Well, I for one think it really depends on the lines in between that make a difference. Why not have the bouquet sent to her place of work or better yet, arrange for someone she may not know to meet her on her way home and give it to her stating who its from. P.S Don’t forget the chocolates. Remember what women equate them to? Tasty.

FOR HIM

What: Barry White – The Collection
Why: Music is the only entity that our brains cannot filter. Set the mood with songs like ‘Can't Get Enough Of Your Love Babe’, ‘Love's Theme’ and ‘I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More Babe’. This album is vintage soul at its best and is a guaranteed to create the perfect sheet action atmosphere. Great!


What: Eye mask & Heart cuffs
Why: The imagination is a wonderful place.
Where: Anne Summers


What: Diesel-Fuel For Life-Him
Why: Couples are constantly seeking vigour revitalizations in their relationships. It’s often hard to identify what will take your relationship to the next level, so why not start with one of the body’s most sensitive senses: The gift of scent. He’ll love it and you will love him in it.
Where: All good Eau de Toilette vendors.


What: Ted Baker Rib Jersey Boxer
Why: Apparently, women love black underwear on men, so you can understand why my chest of draws are loaded with them. Have your man looking at his best with this classic D&G under garment.
Where: House of Fraser


What: Home lap dancing kit
Why: No matter how good your man is, this will be one of the fantasies that he might not have told you about. Surprise him when he gets home or turn up at his place wearing only the outfit under an overcoat. Trust me he’ll be impressed. P.S. all inhibitions must be left outside the door.
