In The Mood
WRITTEN BY TAMARA KOMUNIECKI
If Cupid’s arrow has pierced your heart and you’re planning to show your loved one how much you care this Valentine’s Day, following this step-by-step plan will yield wonderful results. And don’t worry — although it’s written pour deux, these will also work as a wonderful way to celebrate singlehood.
1. Light The Way
Good lighting can enhance assets and hide imperfections — doesn’t everything look better by the soft flicker of candlelight? Organic Badan Aromatherapy pillar candles are made from all-natural ingredients. Available in five-inch pillar size in Clove, Plumeria and Harvest Cider scents. Available at Bella Cosa, 3803 Atlantic Ave., $22.99.


2. Pour A Glass
BevMo’s bestselling item for 2009, the Vinturi wine aerator works as you pour a glass through it, to open up the bouquet and flavor of your chosen vintage. Available at BevMo, 6521 E. Pacific Coast Hwy., $39.99.


3. Soak Your Cares Away
Tokyo Milk’s delicate bubble bath will leave skin luxuriously soft and smelling wonderful. Available at twig & willow, 3740 E. Fourth St., $38.


4. Take A Cue From Mood Music
Get inspiration from the city of love and light with Putomayo’s Paris disc. Available at Fern’s Garden, 5308 E. Second St., $16.95.


5. Slip Into Something More Comfortable
Ladies, it’s time for a sexy little something from Real Girls Lingerie, a brand new Long Beach line designed to enhance the feminine form (which, admittedly, isn’t always a size two). 100% silk Peony chemise, available at realgirlslingerie.com, $159.


6. Men, Remember Your Grooming
Guys – we women don’t ask for much — we don’t need silk boxers or a smoking jacket to appreciate your efforts. For us, a smooth face does all the talking. Jack Black Beard Lube is moisturizing and helps soften hair before shaving. Available at Second Street Beauty, 4910 E. Second St., 6 oz., $17.99.
