I love Valentine’s Day - not necessarily as the romantic couple holiday it’s marketed as, our own tradition is a bit different. Since Ray and I celebrate our anniversary the week before Valentine’s Day, what we do instead is family Valentine dinner. I set the table with pinks and reds, candy and flowers, and in addition to the five of us, we usually have a friend or two of the girls, and a friend or two of ours. I like to think of the day as celebrating love in general, not just romantic. And I love hearts and pink, so I’m not going to ignore the day.

Soo.. we have lots of yummy things coming in time for Valentine’s Day, for however you celebrate it. We have some new gorgeous heart designs in artisan jewelry from Natha Perkins, heart pajamas from PJ Salvage, and the new Villainess seasonal scents.

Raspberry swirl is delicious and PRETTY! Characteristic Scent: sweet red raspberry creamed with soft vanilla” - we have soap, the beautiful sugar scrub, and of course “Whipped”, the moisturizer.

The other two seasonal scents that are in for Valentines are:

Torchsong: “a memory of raw coconut infused with heavy white blossoms - tuberose, orchid and awapuhi - and tonka bean, ginger crushed underfoot, damp moss and your vanilla perfume.”

The Truffle Trade: “a neglected box of chocolates - cherry cordials, coconut creams, almond clusters, raspberry parfaits, covered in dust, tossed aside for bigger game.”

I don’t know what I love most about this line, the products themselves (the sugar scrub is amazing AND a great price) or the fanciful descriptions.
