With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, it seems that the celebration of love has taken over everything. I can’t even walk into a pharmacy without seeing candy hearts, pink cards and chocolate boxes covering the walls. But it’s more fun to make your own dessert for that special someone.

This February 14^th, I’d rather cook up something unique that speaks to my culture than buy a treat-in-a-box. Everyone knows that chocolate covered strawberries are a classic, but how do you make them your own? I have a few ideas on the best way to Latinize this Valentine’s day favorite...

Valentine's Day can be a touchy subject for some, especially for single women. But guess what? You don't need a significant other to look fabulous! Whether you have plans with your partner, or will be enjoying a night on the town with your girlfriends, consider adding a flirtatious touch to your look with a bold red lip. Here are some quick tips on how to wear rock this bold lip and how to find the right one--red lipstick that is!  

It's February, and you're probably seeing double (triple!) in the form of little red hearts hanging everywhere. This month inspires romance, and begs everyone to dream about love and being loved. Of course I'm a firm believer that EVERY day should be Valentine's Day, with all the reasons to celebrate love, friendship and family. Why is it that all those cute, bubbly, unexpected expressions of love are reserved exclusively for one date on the calendar? I say we should open it up and let romantic breakfasts in bed and little gifts of affection be more the rule than the exception in everyday life!

So, I dare you to start with something as simple as an "I love you", un "Te amo." And I don´t mean just spit it out and you´re done. I mean an "I love you" that can be said in new, creative ways…

Apuesto cualquier cosa a que no hay mujer alguna que de verdad pueda decir que se ha topado con el  hombre perfecto. Puede que ante mis ojos mi pareja (¡casi!) lo sea, pero para serte honesta son precisamente las imperfecciones en el  hombre ¨perfecto¨ las que lo hacen más ¡irresistible! Algunas los preferimos gringos, otras preferimos a los hombres latinos. Pero todas los queremos guapos, inteligentes, sensibles, caballerosos, fieles, con buen sentido del humor, que nos cuiden mucho (pero que no nos celen), que sean caseros (pero que les guste socializar), que nos ayuden en la casa (pero que lo hagan como nosotras decimos), blah, blah, blah…¡Qué difícil es complacernos chicas!

There are a ton of foods considered aphrodisiacs, and some of the most potent are staples in a Latin kitchen. Here are five ingredients you can use to make a delicious meal for your honey on Valentine’s Day. But beware, we can’t promise you’ll be safe after your man gobbles all this grub. You may have to fight him off…not that anyone’s complaining here.
