For me, Valentine’s Day is just as good a time to pop some bubbly and make a delicious meal or order delivery. What we skip? Reservations. Like New Year’s Eve, we like to avoid the overpriced “special” menu.

When it comes to gifts I suggest both the stereotypical jewelry and chocolate to some off the beaten path.

Whip it Good!

You can read the idea of whipped cream for Valentine’s Day as naughty or nice. You decide. If you’ve ever tried fresh whipped cream, you know that no preservative-laden grocery variety can match the sweet, creamy peaks you get with the real thing. But if you’re daunted by the thought of hand-whipping your own topping, fear not. We’ve found a gadget that does the work for you. The iSi Easy Whip produces twice the volume of hand whipping — one pint of liquid yields about five pints of whipped cream — in seconds. Isi Easy Whip, $49.95 TheDailyGrommet.com

Small World

Sorta silly. Kind of quirky. What’s so special about a glass vessel, a pile of rocks, some plant life and a little figurine or two? I’m not exactly sure where the magic comes from, but the combination is totally endearing. Maybe it’s the tiny people. Twig Terrariums, $50 TheDailyGrommet.com

Dangling Dazzlers

The standard jewelry gift for VD. Bejewel her ears with Opal, Swarovski crystal embellished earrings. Bijoux Heart earrings, $205 TheOutnet.com

Bedtime Beckons

A fun and flirty chemise that’s not over the top nor shy and this item won’t be awkward for the gift giver or reciever. Oscar de la Renta chemise, $69 BareNecessities.com

Brownie Obession-YUM!

Dark and delicious double chocolate espresso brownies. Skip the milk and serve with some champagne on Valentine’s Day. $21.95 for melt in your mouth delicious. StirCrazyBakery.com

Love is a Battlefield

Pat Benatar sang, “Love is a battlefield.” Why not heal with a purple heart. Crunchy, salty-sweet caramel toffee packaged in a petite purple heart. $15 Vosgeschocolate.com

Want to keep your kids looking stylish? Have a niece you adore? A friend’s kid’s birthday coming up? Enter to win a $100 gift card I’m giving away from The Children’s Place.  With their great prices that can fill a closet.

In today’s episode of “A Secret Worth Sharing“, I answer, once and for all, the age old question of how to find your bra size. The wrong bra size and style can ruin any outfit! Here are the easiest ways to make sure you’ve got the right fit that will help you look and feel great!

Here’s the final Playtex Bra Makeover, featuring a pair of “Bosom Buddies”, Fabiola and Tuesday, who deal with their bra size denial and give their “girls” a boost in the newest episodes of my Playtex Bra Makeover series!

Fabiola continues to wear skimpy styles that are too tiny for her ta-tas, because she refuses to believe that she’s any bigger than a 38C.  She’s convinced that the larger the bra, the uglier the style, and is beginning to think it takes a PhD to find her perfect fit.   Her best friend since sixth grade, Tuesday, has “girls” that have been getting attention for all of the wrong reasons. Her boobs have headed so far south, they’re almost at the floor!

With help from Playtex, I save Tuesday from her drooping dilemma and show Fabiola that bigger actually CAN mean better!

In today’s episode of “A Secret Worth Sharing“, I share my ultimate bra secret for making even the toughest looks work – the convertible bra. Unruly bra straps are no longer a fashion faux paus!

Check it out!!  A pair of sisters, Melanie and Elizebeth, get a new fit and a new look in the newest episodes of my Playtex Bra Makeover series!

Melanie’s sick of spillage and digging straps, but she doesn’t know what to do! She wants to know that beauty doesn’t have to mean a painful fit and hopes to find the look she wants with the coverage she needs. Her sister, Elizebeth, needs to retire her bras because her underwire woes are out of control!  She’s sick of bras that poke, ride up and dig, and wants to make sure her wedding day is pain-free.

I’m going to rescue them from their bad bra fit and discomfort and show them that with Playtex you can look good and feel great!

Buying new glasses can be stressful. You try on countless pairs in the store, ask a few salespeople for their opinions and still feel rushed to make a decision. Wouldn’t if be so much nicer to try them on in your own home or outdoors or just anywhere that’s not in a store?  And not feel like you’ve got 20 minutes to make a decision about something as important about what’s on your face?

Well, Mezzmer eyewear came up with a fantastic solution. They have their own collection for women and men and you get to choose five to try at home for free for 30 days. You choose your samples, they send to you in a lovely box and you show off to your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, UPS guy and when you decide just send back the samples for free and order your favorite pair online. And every pair is only $99. SWEET!

So here are the five I’m debating between. Please forgive the bad lighting, glare, not being all gussied up and not being at the best angle, but hey, I was out for coffee with my guy pal, Jordan and figured we’d have you help me make a decision.  (And the Shelley sample was a little crooked-oops.) So please comment on your favorite pair.

The Macro, Medium and Mini–perfect for carrying your groceries, supplies, your extra workload… and my favorite – to pack on trips so you can easily carry back a new purchase.  Each bag holds up to 50 pounds!

The Baggie—Perfect size for lip-gloss, compact, baby wipes, and every little essential you’ll need. I know someone who uses this bag to carry snacks and nuts since it’s machine washable.

The Pocket—Ideal for keys, cell phone and cash so they’re not lost in your bag, OR if you’re looking to downsize for the day and just carry one small bag that holds what you need and comes with a wrist strap.

All five bags fold up or roll up into a size you can put in your coat pocket, your bag or the glove compartment of your car.

Here’s my next pair from Playtex’s Bra Makeover series!

Christina’s been “blessed” with big boobies since she was 12 years old… while her mom was living the life of push-ups and padding, she was stuck with “grandma bras”. I needed to find her a supportive bra to tame her ta-ta’s.

Toniann, Christina’s Mom, wore her bras too low, leaving a wide open space for where her boobs should go. I helped turn her into a hot mama, bringing her boobs up to where they belong.
