I absolutely love the editorial in Lula Magazine featuring Kirsten Dunst. Her tousled curls look oh-so-sexy; her neutral makeup with a pop of red by way of the nails is simply perfection. A definite beauty inspiration for the 14th, I say! It truly is the perfect look for a date or a luncheon with the ladies.<\/p><\/div>\n

Darlings. I told you I love Valentine’s Day. Call it a corporate scheme, or a painful reminder of a relationship status. Yes, Valentine’s Day is one of the holidays (behind the holiday season in December) where corporations make millions upon millions on heart-themed confections and lovely jewels – that I cannot deny.<\/p>\n

But I don’t see Valentine’s Day as a holiday meant only for couples, where it is the one day they have the excuse to snog obnoxiously and care not an ounce for what onlookers think. It’s a day to celebrate love<\/a><\/strong>; <\/strong>whether or not you are single is hardly relevant.\u00a0If you are, embrace your independence and celebrate your successes and ability to love yourself without a man by your side. If you do have a valentine, celebrate your ability to remain an individual and still love your significant other wholly. Regardless of your relationship status, Valentine\u2019s Day is a day not just to love another, but also to love yourself<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So why don’t you…<\/strong><\/h3>\n
