LOVE, LUST, AND LAUGH LINES: A Mid-Life Valentine’s Day by Yours Truly
With 33 fabulous years in the beauty industry, I’ve become the go-to gal for product recommendations. I’m often asked, “What are your absolute must-haves?” Well, today, I’m spilling the tea on the products I truly love and trust—because sharing is caring (and looking fabulous is a must)!

Let’s face it—mid-life brings a whole new flavor to Valentine’s Day. It’s a cocktail of confidence, curiosity, and maybe a splash of “I’m too fabulous for this nonsense.” Whether you’re spending the day with your long-time partner, your new fling, or your glorious self, this stage of life is all about embracing what sets your heart (and maybe a few other things) on fire.
So, buckle up for a Valentine’s that celebrates love in all its forms—messy, magical, and totally worth it. Because at this age, we know what we want, and we’re not afraid to claim it.
Keeping the Fire Burning: Valentine’s Tips for Long-Term Lovers 🔥
Let’s be real—keeping it hot in a long-term relationship takes more than just chocolates and roses (though, yes, we’ll take those too). After years together, the sparks may not ignite themselves, but that doesn’t mean the fire’s gone. It just takes a little strategic stoking.
Here are my cheeky tips for turning up the heat this Valentine’s Day:
Surprise, Baby! Ditch the routine. Slip on something unexpected (whether it’s lingerie or… nothing at all). Keep ‘em guessing and wanting more.
Date Night, Reimagined. Forget the same-old dinner spot. Try a cooking class, dance lesson, or anything that gets you laughing and connecting like you did in the honeymoon phase.
Flirt Like It’s Day One. Remember those sly winks and cheeky/naughty texts? Bring them back! A little teasing goes a long way.
Get Out of Your Comfort Zone. Whether it’s trying a new toy (hello, Glissant!) or just sharing a steamy fantasy, explore together and see where it leads.
Make Them Feel Desired. Compliments, touches, and lingering glances—remind them they’re still the one who gets your heart racing.
Because let’s be honest: love may grow deeper with time, but a little heat never hurt anyone. So, this Valentine’s Day, turn up the passion and remind each other why you’re still each other’s favorite flame.
Pucker Up: The Power of the Perfect Lipstick
Never underestimate the seductive magic of the right lipstick—it’s more than just a pop of color. The perfect shade can turn heads, set the mood, and whisper, “Come closer...” without saying a word.
A sultry red exudes confidence and passion, daring your partner to lean in. A soft pink says playful and sweet, inviting that lingering kiss. And let’s not forget a velvety nude—it’s the ultimate “kiss me now” vibe, effortlessly sexy and irresistibly natural.
Beyond the shade, it’s all about texture. A creamy, smudge-proof formula ensures your lips are luscious, kiss-ready, and irresistible. Trust me, the right lipstick isn’t just makeup—it’s a mood, a statement, and the ultimate invitation.
So, swipe on your shade, pucker up, and let the perfect kiss find its way to you.
Sexy Hair: Your Valentine’s Secret Weapon
Seduction starts with touchable, irresistible hair. Whether it’s cascading waves or that tousled “just out of bed” look (we’ll keep the effort a secret), your hair sets the stage for romance.
Soft, shiny, and oh-so-healthy locks are an invitation to linger, which is why I swear by Knotty Girl Intense Quench Shampoo and Conditioner. They leave your hair luscious, hydrated, and completely irresistible.
This Valentine’s Day, let your hair do the flirting—Confidence starts at the roots—and it’s the ultimate aphrodisiac.
Turn Up the Heat with Wellness Oil This Valentine’s Day 🔥
Whether I’m treating myself to a luxurious massage or sharing an intimate moment, the silky texture and intoxicating aroma create a vibe that’s beyond irresistible. It nourishes, soothes, and leaves my skin glowing like it’s been kissed by the gods.
This Valentine’s, I’m making sure pleasure is front and center—and with this oil, every touch feels like magic. Because when it comes to romance, why settle for anything less than unforgettable? 💋✨
SCENT-SATIONAL SPARKS
The Power of Cologne on Valentine’s Day
Ladies, let’s talk about how a scent can take you on a one-way trip down memory lane. Remember that first date when he walked in, all dapper and smelling like the dictionary definition of swoon-worthy? That cologne? Yeah, it’s still a secret weapon.
Guys, here’s the deal: Dust off that bottle of the cologne you wore when you first met. A single spritz can ignite memories of fluttering hearts, lingering glances, and that electric first-date spark. It’s like hitting rewind on the romance—except this time, you’ve already won her over.
This Valentine’s Day, let your scent do the talking. Trust me, she’ll be weak in the knees before dessert.
Grooming: The Unsung Hero of Attraction (Yes, Even Nose Clipping)
Let’s be honest, grooming isn’t just about looking good—it’s about showing the world (and your partner) that you’ve got it together. From a fresh shave to neatly trimmed nails, these little touches can make a big impression. And yes, gentlemen (and ladies, too), this includes the often-overlooked art of nose hair clipping.
Why? Because those pesky little stragglers can distract from your otherwise dashing looks faster than you can say “pass the clippers.” Keeping things tidy shows attention to detail and boosts confidence—it’s a win-win!
So this Valentine’s Day (and every day), step up your grooming game. Whether it’s a haircut, a beard trim, or yes, a quick nose hair check, these small efforts go a long way in keeping the romance alive. After all, nothing says “I’m ready for love” quite like being polished from head to toe.
"Seduction isn’t in the flowers or the chocolates
—it’s in the way you look, touch, and whisper,
'You’re mine tonight.'
Happy Valentine’s Day." 💋❤️
STEAMY MOVIE NIGHT PICKS TO SET THE MOOD
Ready to turn up the heat? These sexy, sultry movies are the perfect way to add a little spice to your Valentine’s (or any date night). Dim the lights, grab a glass of wine, and let the seduction begin:
🎥 Secretary – A tantalizing mix of kink, humor, and unexpected romance. Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader take "office relationships" to a whole new level.
🎥 The Hunger – A stylish, gothic tale of love, lust, and vampires (yes, really). Catherine Deneuve, Susan Sarandon, and David Bowie make this one unforgettable.
🎥 Fifty Shades of Grey – The OG of mainstream BDSM romance. Love it or hate it, this one’s sure to inspire some post-movie fun.
Pro tip: Pair these flicks with your favorite Glissant product and see where the night takes you.
The Sexy Heel: A Valentine’s Must-Have (Hint, Hint 😉)
Let’s talk about the ultimate weapon in your Valentine’s arsenal: the sexy heel.
My personal pick? The Christian Louboutin Iriza Patent Open-Side Red Sole Pump—the very definition of swoon-worthy.
Sure, they may hurt a little (okay, a lot), but let’s be honest—heels like these aren’t made for standing around. They’re designed to dazzle, captivate, and make sure all eyes are on you. The plan? To look drop-dead gorgeous for just long enough before you’re off your feet… if you catch my drift.
And let’s not forget: these beauties make a fabulous gift. So, if someone’s looking for the perfect way to make you feel like a goddess this Valentine’s Day (hint, hint), a pair of red soles might just do the trick. Because nothing says “I love you” like a shoe that screams, I’m sexy, I know it, and you’re lucky to have me. 💋👠
