Rosy Tips For Valentine's Day

Roses reign supreme for Valentine's Day. A well-known statement of love, for many, sending roses is the perfect way to say "I love you."

To make this loving gift a long-lasting one, follow these tips from Julie Mulligan, lifestyle expert from 1-800-FLOWERS.COM:

• Always use clean vases or containers.

• Fill the container about ¾ full with warm water and floral food.

• Remove leaves that will be under the water while in the vase, as they will rot.

• Give each stem a fresh cut on an angle while holding the stem under water to prevent air from getting into the stem.

• Place the vase in a cool spot, away from heat.

• Change the water and flower food every three to four days and recut the stems.

From roses to tulips to orchids to lilies, there are flowers to please all the important people in your life this Valentine's Day, says Mulligan.

Valentine Gifts: Finding The Best Fragrances For Less

While a shaky economy may wisely inspire you to do without some extras, one item a woman would be foolish to forsake is her favorite perfume.

For many women, perfume is an essential accessory that elevates the mood and inspires self-confidence. Fortunately, if you know where to find fragrance for less, you can keep your favorite scent and economize, too.

Great sources include stores that specialize in fragrance at reduced prices. Some fragrance sites offer the most popular scents at a significant reduction.

For example, Perfumania.com
, a prominent online fragrance retailer, specializes in the sale of genuine designer fragrances, bath and body, cosmetics and skin products and related gifts and accessories for men, women and children for less.

The site's fragrance consultants are trained to provide customers with personalized service and expert advice about today's most popular fragrances, as well as the classics and hard-to-find fragrances.

Support Women's Heart Health This Valentine's Day

Giving a gift from the heart is a lot easier this Valentine's Day

Help a leading fashion accessories brand, Swarovski, raise awareness about women's heart health by purchasing red and heart-shaped jewelry items from its 2009 Go Red For Women® Collection. The company will donate a minimum contribution of $150,000 from the sales of this collection to the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women movement.

The company has donated more than $1.6 million to the issue of women and heart disease awareness through partnerships with the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women movement and national sponsorship of The Heart Truth campaign's Red Dress Collection.




For the fifth year, it will co-sponsor The Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection 2009 Fashion Show at New York Fashion Week to raise awareness about women and heart disease. The show will debut red dresses, including a one-of-a-kind Daniel Swarovski dress, and jewelry created exclusively for The Heart Truth.

To help achieve better heart health, the American Heart Association offers a few tips:

• Choose good nutrition. A healthy diet is one of the best weapons you have to fight cardiovascular disease. A diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole-grain and high-fiber foods, fish, lean protein and fat-free or low-fat dairy products is the key.

• Be physically active every day. Research has shown that getting at least 30 minutes of physical activity on five or more days of the week can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol and keep weight at a healthy level.

The pendant is part of a collection that includes pins, earrings, bracelets and charms.
