ALL THE SINGLE LADIES
Celebrate the most important person in your life this Valentine’s Day, you!
Whether you’re single, or even if you are attached, here are some of our favourite products to be pampered with on Valentine’s Day:
Start your “me” time with a soak! For those of us looking for a fresh scent, try 1. Kiss My Face Soothing Bath Gel in Mandarin Ginger Lily ($11, at Loblaws and Whole Foods). Feel squeaky clean, with natural plant-based cleansers, and moisturized with the help of olive oil and aloe. If you’d rather have something more soothing before bed, use 2. J.R. Watkins Calming Lavender Bath Soak ($13 at Shoppers Drug Mart and Pharma Plus) with dreamy lavender oil and sea salts to help soften your skin.
Post bath, splash on 3. Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh ($85, 75ml; $110, 125ml), the latest rendition of one of our favourite fragrances. The top notes are composed of a crisp ruby red grapefruit and pear, with middle notes of violet, wild rose and jasmine, ending with warm plum and cedarwood.
Made in Canada, the lightweight bamboo French terry blend of 4. Bamjamz SPA Lounge fitted full zip hoodie and long pant ($134 each, at Holt Renfrew and Neiman Marcus) will keep you warm on any chilly February night.
We’re smitten with 5. Fortnight Lingerie’s Faye triangle bralette ($58, fortnightlingerie.com), which has a sweet touch of lace paired with a sporty heather grey tencel and the Rita high waist knickers ($40).
If chocolates aren’t your thing, but a warm drink is, try this our favourite cold-weather spiked drink—Kahlúa and hot chocolate:
1 oz. Kahlúa
6 oz. hot chocolate
Pour all ingredients into a heatproof mug. Stir and enjoy. Add a peppermint stick, cinnamon stick or shaved dark chocolate as a garnish if you wish.
