Valentine’s Day is loved (and hated) by many, but the truth remains the same that it is a great excuse and opportunity to celebrate love whether you are married, dating or single.

Let’s face it, it seems as though there is always another Holiday to buy a gift for someone; birthdays, Christmas, showers, anniversaries…what if we celebrated Valentine’s Day with a gift that will truly show someone that they are thought about and loved?? As life gets busy and going out on dates may not be as practical with the kids, here are some ideas for gifts and celebrations that will be romantic and meaningful for you, your man and your wallet.

1. Make your gifts.

Establish that this year (and maybe even from now on) that you will make your Valentine’s Day gifts. This idea is so fun because it encourages both of you to get creative and express your love in new (and sometimes funny) ways. The sky is the limit and there is no better way to celebrate love than homemade, meaningful expressions that will include memories and laughter.

2. Romantic Dinner for Two

Think of your man’s favorite dishes and get them cooking! Sure, they may not be the healthiest items, but he will be so excited to come home to his favorite foods prepared for you two to share together. Of course, sexy and romantic dessert items are always a must have; chocolate covered strawberries…body chocolate….and prepare a menu of cocktails that he enjoys.

3. Games

Sometimes good quality time together, means having fun! Ditch your typical dinner and a movie and opt for something a little more competitive that can bring a youthful fun into your evening. This is also a great alternative if Valentine’s Day is going to be spent with the kids too.  Not to mention, games can always be twisted as a playful addition to bringing it into the bedroom!

Get creative this Valentine’s Day with options that won’t break the budget and will show your love and appreciation for the man in your life.

The Hostess blog offers some fun printables for all game day purposes to get creative with any disposable materials you might want to use to save some clean up time, or to set up some tables that make all the snacks look even more enticing.

Treat your man to the game day classics that he loves to snack on, and create an environment that can be enjoyable for the football lovers and “others” alike.

Skin Care Essentials

1. Moisturizer with SPF- Keep your skin moist every day and keep it personal to your skin type. Make sure you pay attention to if your skin is on the oily or dry side so you can purchase a moisturizer that will complement that. Don’t forget the SPF either! In a society that is obsessed with tans, it’s easy for women to skip out on the protection to help soak in some color, but don’t do it! Unhealthy sun exposure can age your skin more quickly and eventually cause even more complications like melanoma. If you are really concerned about color, buy a bronzer that blends with the rest of your skin!

2. Gentle daily wash- You should be washing your face twice a day, and that should be a gentle wash just to remove any dirt, germs, make up etc…

3. Exfoliant- Exfoliants are amazing but shouldn’t be used too often on your face because it’s so delicate. It will help get rid of any dead skin cells and keep your face smooth and even.

5. Facial- Facials should only happen about once month. They can however get pricy, so here is a recipe for a DIY home facial from Karly Goins who is a regular recipe contributor to Lauren Conrad’s blog.

Other Tips for taking care of your skin!

3. Don’t smoke! Your skin needs circulation and smoking impairs that which is why smokers’ skin tends to look dull and gray. Instead of oxy-generated blood being delivered to the skin surface, it’s getting poisons and oxidants. Don’t — I repeat – don’t smoke. Your skin is a large organ and it needs a lot of circulation. Smoking impairs that dramatically.

4. Healthy diet- changes in your diet can drastically improve how your skin looks from glow to acne. Pay attention to what you are eating and eliminate greasy and unhealthy items.

5. Manage stress- stress can do a number on more than just our skin, but reducing it can help reduce any acne, aging lines or tension that will appear. If you a really needing some extra relaxation, try a milk bath! Seriously! You hear about it in stories of royalty, and there really are some great relaxation benefits, including benefits for your skin. Try this recipe here.

Enjoy your rejuvenated skin and feel like a new, younger woman!

With some help from some great articles on Babble, here are some tips for getting into a realistic workout and health routine.

“The Anywhere Work Out”

This focuses on using items that we are surrounded by or using our daily routine to sneak in quick work outs.

Work outs include chair dips (dipping your arms to strengthen triceps), lunges (you can do them anywhere!), jumping jacks (full body workout!), counter push up (using raised surfaces to do push ups on), wall sits and standing crunches.

Ways to Find Work Out Time

A little bit of alone time is good for any woman, and especially mothers. This suggests practical ways to find a bit of alone time to get a good work out in (allowing time to release endorphins, clear your head and get rid of some stress).

Some ideas include finding a gym with great childcare, babysitting swaps or finding a mom work out group. For those who aren’t quite comfortable with the drop-off yet suggestions include getting a jogging stroller, a bike seat for the kids, Mommy and Me classes, playground fitness,

Unexpected Benefits of Exercise

Finally, if you need a little extra motivation to fit in time for exercise, here are some benefits we might not regularly think about! Remembering where you parked your car (just 30 minutes of exercise a day can help you regain focus), your exercise will help gets your kids into a good habit of healthy and active lifestyles too, boost feel-good hormones and reduce stress, better sleep, better sex and flexibility that will help you reach the sippy cup on the top shelf!

Make it your goal this year to create a new habit of living actively and healthy and in a way that is realistic and sustainable for you, keeping in mind how many benefits you (and your family) will enjoy! Happy New Year!!

Think White: white goes with everything, it looks clean and reflects light making rooms look spacious and welcoming. White is also less expensive for accessories, furniture and paint because retailers make more of that color.

Salvaged Style: consignment furniture stores are your best friend this year. So many trends being seen in places like Anthropologie, Restoration Hardware and other popular home design display that “used” look for a lot of money. Visit thrift stores and second hand furniture places to find your household gems. Use your imagination to envision the way it can be sanded, painted or switched around to match your home and you will save loads of money. Use old doors or windows as bed headboards, Mix match the chairs or find old picnic benches to refurbish and use for your kitchen table (benches can also be space saving because you can push them all the way under the table).

Vintage Charm: Old knick knacks you find at thrift stores, flea markets or estate sales can make great and inexpensive additions to a home. The “worn down” cottage looking kitchen with vintage accents is irresistible.

Efficiency: Turn an old vanity into a bathroom sink, add pullout shelves to your cabinets making everything easily accessible and more organized or purge your home of anything you don’t need to reduce clutter!

Enjoy making your “old” home seem new!

These looks are all super inspiring!

Max Mara-sleek and simple

Dolce & Gabbana – colorful dresses and lingerie inspired tops

Chanel – black and white

How sexy are all these looks? Designers for Spring are really focusing on the figure of women, and the silhouettes they are using will really celebrate all different shapes and sizes of the natural woman. Paired with some POSH jewelry, these styles will make the perfect POSH Mommy ready for a Spring outing!

Five girlfriends of the mommy-to-be, Fallon, got together to plan and design a shower that would make her feel loved and would help her baby boy on the way, Bravery, get some sweet hook ups.

The great thing about this shower is that two of the women who got together to design and plan are also moms! Nova Page and Trish Treves are mommies that scream POSH style and personality! (Nova is also an incredible musician.) Another one of the girls is a display artist for Anthropologie.

So here are some pictures from the shower so you can be inspired for future showers or parties you may be throwing! Fallon is designing Bravery’s nursery with a nautical theme, so the girls stuck with that for the shower.

Chairs set up for all the mommies to sit in a place of honor. Each chair has a label for Fallon, her mom and her husband’s mom that say “Bravery’s Mommy” “Fallon’s Mommy” and “Mingo’s Mommy”

Old suitcases on a table to place all the gifts, along with a “Bravery’s Loot!” sign to instruct guests!

There is so much detail! Tall branch centerpieces with moss, and little bottles wrapped in twine to fill with pieces of rolled up paper where the girls were requested to write their prayers down for Bravery.

Fallon ROCKING heels and a body con dress with her belly bump! With Nova and Trish on the left and the mommies helping her open gifts!

Wouldn’t every Mommy-to-Be dream of having showers thrown for them like this!?

Check out Nova’s music and some of her designs.
