More Wonderful Valentine's Day Ideas

I haven't a Valentine, yet that won't stop me from having a great Girls Night Out! Whether it’s a sugary night with your significant other, and a salute to your single ladies squad, pamper yourself with these five treasures (you simply can’t go wrong). These products are simply fab! 

For Those Angel Status Waves – The Beachwaver Co. BEACHWAVER® S1 ($129, Beachwaver.com)

I am in love! By featuring an arrow button with a fast/slow speed switch, the S1 is easier than ever to use. A new home button gives you ability to reset the clamp at the start position for easy styling. With the BEACHWAVER® S1, you can create three different styles including defined curls, loose beachy waves and glam waves. This ceramic, rotating curling iron provides easy, quality waves in minutes! 

Friend and beloved DJ Teal Camner was just starting to show me the different types of waves she could get on her keratin straightened hair and I was amazed. I wasn't sure her super straight fine hair would allow for curls, but the BEACHWAVER worked!

For An Extra Treat – LOVE, Tata: Natural Skincare Valentine’s Gift Collection: ($240.00, TataHarperskincare.com) 

Sumptuous, indulgent and sweet: the Limited Edition Valentine’s Day Collection is everything a Valentine’s Day gift should be. Buff and soften the body with the naturally jasmine-scented Smoothing Body Scrub, then soak the skin in high-performance hydration with our best selling Revitalizing Body Oil. The Love Potion promotes an inner sense of poise, beauty and allure, and our Be Adored Lip Treatment gives the lips a charming raspberry tint while hydrating and fighting the look of vertical lip lines. 

As a final delight, Lake Champlain’s Cherries & Dark Chocolate Bar is a delicious, well-deserved treat. Delivering radiance and renewal, these handpicked favorites are all wrapped up in our signature classic green Gift Box and tied with a bow. 

Get The Look : Julianne Hough

Did you catch Julianne Hough’s look last week with those gorgeous healthy looking cascading curls?

Who was behind those volumsuious curls she rocked on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon AND at The Dirty Grandpa Premiere? Celebrity hairstylist and inventor of The BEACHWAVER, Sarah Potempa, of course.

GET THE LOOK

· Sarah started by giving Julianne a strong side part

· She then curled her hair in opposite directions using The Beachwaver Co. BEACHWAVER S1

· She left an inch of hair out at the ends to add texture

· Finally, she finished by spraying a strong holding hairspray all over
