What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day this year then watching a new or favorite romantic film? Whether you’re with a date, a spouse or even just good friends, no one can resist the charm of a good romance, even you guys!
These types of movies easily get clumped together in the “chick-flick” genre, but over the years there have been some real classics and genuinely funny movies.
So I decided to turn to the best resource of all, my fellow guru’s – to see what their favorite romantic movies are.

Perfect Your Pout for V-day

By Marcia Tweet

Red lipstick has always made a statement. Cleopatra used a version of red lipstick made from crushed carmine beetles, Queen Elizabeth I of England used one made from beeswax and red plant stains almost 500 years ago and the Flappers of the 1920′s used red lipstick to show their rebellious nature. Today red lipstick is as popular as ever and its ability to make the lips look plump and kissable means that it will probably be around for many years to come! Here’s our guide to getting the sexiest, kissable red lips for Valentine’s Day.

Step 1: Match the Shade to your Skin tone

Pale skin: If you look best in blues, purples and black

The best red lip color for you is one which is blue based. This color is a classic red which makes a dramatic impact and have the added benefit of making teeth look whiter!

Celeb Example: Dita Von Teese

Lipstick: Try M.A.C Cosmetics Russian Red

We are the Champions

To the victor go the spoils- and to fans of the victors, goes a ton of new Green Bay Packers Super Bowl Champions gear!

While there’s no shortage of SBXLV gear, fans now have to start thinking about how they’ll show their Packer pride and let everyone know they’re a Packer Backer. Here are a few gift-able ones that top the list.

I’m lovin’ the Packers Super Bowl Champions Fathead. Big and bold wall decal great for the man cave, rec room, and sure, even the bathroom for the fanatic.

You can’t forget about decking out the office with Super Bowl Champs mementos. I say go with the Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers Bobblehead!

And for the collector? Here’s a cool one. It’s an actual piece of encased turf from the Packers Super Bowl XLV end zone. And just think, you’ll never have to water it!

And lastly, you can’t forget about apparel. There are tons of options here, but I’ve always been a fan of your basic tee-shirt. Sure you could go the hat route or sweatshirt, but the value and versatility of a tee can’t be matched.

Here are even more great Packers gifts!

Valentine’s Day is one of the trickiest holidays to shop for.  Any type of gift you get is going to send some kind of message, and is symbolic of what type of relationship you have. No pressure or anything right?! But what people forget is, this holiday isn’t supposed to be serious. You don’t have to shower anyone with diamonds and flowers just to prove your love.

It’s time to think outside the heart-shaped box this year and look for gifts that are fun and creative. Of course jewelry will NEVER be turned down when offered. So if you’re feeling a little overwhelmed what to get your Valentine this year, whether it’s your spouse or just a crush, look no further than our Gifts by Relationship Guide.

Indie Wedding Alert

When I was planning my wedding last year, I had a hard time finding vendors that matched my sense of style and were within my price range. Well, indie brides of the world unite because Urban Outfitters is launching their very own BRIDAL line called Bhldn on Valentine’s Day this year.

The uber popular retailer for teens and young adults is taking the plunge, tying the knot and jumping on the wedding band wagon. It seems like everyone has a bridal line these days, but I’m pretty excited to see what this collection brings. I’m hoping for lots of vintage and DIY inspired gowns and accessories at affordable prices for all of the brides out there who want their wedding to be as unique as they are.

It launches online on this Valentine’s Day and a flagship store in an undisclosed location is slated to open its doors in August. What do you hope to see in their new collection?

It’s the perfect room addition for any music-loving guy or girl.

Real Beer Goggles

Make turning 21 a real party with these slightly embarrassing and totally hilarious costumes. My favorite is the Beer Man Kit that comes with an upside down beer mug hat, foam beer goggles and a foam mustache.

Which piece is most likely to survive the night? My vote is for the hat. These costumes are a fun way to ring in a new era or to take that frat party to the next level.

Not to mention how much fun it will be to look back at those photos one day!
