So, this Valentine's Day, skip the sweets and the candy treats...we're giving you a batch of goodies that will satiate your sweet tooth without adding on the lb's. We like that. We like that a lot. 

LIP IT REAL GOOD

Enjoy this little fruit salad of glosses that are sweet enough for puckering up. Lorac's Mocktail in Razberi Cosmo, Sally Hansen's Comfort Shine Lip Glaze in Fresh Strawberry, Wet n Wild Beauty Benefits in Cherry Mint, Liplicious Double Kiss in Watermelon Slice & Brown Sugar Scrub and N.Y.C Color's Lippin' Large in Peach Parfait all sound like the perfect fruitastic martinis. Save beaucoup calories (and bucks...we're still waiting for Congress to ‘YAY' the stimulus package) by grabbing these perfect lip accessories.

They say that a little dark chocolate is good for your health - we concur, however we're not totally on board with all the extra pounds that go along with the delicious treat. The only thing chocolate is gonna do this Valentine's Day is make you fat, so let's avoid it. These goodies are just as good as the real thing - plus you'll be looking svelte in those Hanky Pankies, be it for the boy in your life or just for yourself. Screw the real deal and enjoy these chocolicious goodies - Cocoa butter scented Crabtree & Evelyn Naturals Botanical Body Butter, Carol's Daughter SweetHoneyDipChocolateBrownSugah bath bomb, Lip Creme in Toffee Creme by Le Metier de Beaute, Philip B's Body Wash in Chocolate Milk, and Tropez's Luscious Flavors Chocolate Fudge lipstick. Just don't start licking your arms.

SWEET CAROL-NINE

And, if you happen to be in town over the weekend, maybe rolling solo on V-Day, hop on over to Sweet 9 Salon (above intro photo) and give yourself a treat. No, they're not a candy factory, luckily, but they they will have some yummy cookies, if need be, as well as delish China rose tea with your name on it...owner Dawn Reid picks it herself! Indulge in a mani/pedi with express facial special (Tara is facial queen and Monica rocks the nails) and then get ready to hit the town.

24 CARROT...CAKE?

Oh, that cream cheese icing and delicious moist cake...not this year, girls!! Keep the fork away from the mouth and opt for Philosophy's Candy Hearts Lip Duo in Angel Food and Yes to Carrots Pampering Hand & Nail Spa. You'll be thinking you're smelling the bakery aromas of carrot cake, however it'll just be the scrub on your hands.

DRESS YOU UP IN MY LOVE

You don't have to wear hearts to get into the Valentine's Day spirit...Butter by Nadia's Candy Store Stripe wrap dress paired with New Balance's Candy Collection sneaks that look like jujubes, and Matina Amanita for Sretsis ‘I Love You, I Love You Not' candy heart rings will for sure have you channelling cupid. Perfect for a movie date and you don't even have to go to the concession stand!

You'll be thanking us post-weekend for helping you not to oven-indulge in all things that that aid in expanding the waistline...get your sweet fix without going into a sugar coma. However if you've got limited willpower and really, really must partake, then go for one of the Red Velvet or Whoopie Pies from The Wood Cafe.  We're just here to help this holiday girls...LA2DAY hearts you.
