14 Days of Romance: Happy Hearts Day: Day 14

14 Days of Romance: Get primped for your date (Cali Style): Day 13

I don't know about you - but, I am a HUGE fan of getting my hair blown out.  Everything just looks better when you have a great hair day.  So.... for this Valentine's Day - if you live in the Los Angeles area - do I have a fab tip for you.

Primp your self at one of these fabulous "blow out only" salons - where you can chose from different blow out options (bed head, slick straight, etc) and look amazing on your Valentine's date!

The Dry Bar is a great option with 5 locations (Brentwood, West Hollywood, Studio City, Pacific Palisades, and Dallas, TX - and coming soon: Newport Beach, CA and Scottsdale, AZ).  They have different options of blowouts - and at $35.  They do a fab job!!

My Blow LA is a great spot - and all blow outs are $35.  They are located in Beverly Hills. 

14 Days of Romance: Kissing: Day 12

SO - for day 12 - Kissing it is!

Muah!

14 Days of Romance: Zazzle.com: Day 11

I love anything that has been personalized.  It means an extra step was taken to make something a little bit more special than it already is.  So - when sending out your Valentine cards this year - why don't you check out Zazzle.com where you can personalize any postage stamp.  They have some really cute options to choose from, or you can upload any picture of your choice.    

Here are some that I thought were really cute!
