I've always loved Valentine's Day, even when I was single, just because I'm a big old soppy romantic and adore that whole 'love is in the air' feeling. That, and it gives you a little reminder to buff up not just your beauty prep but also to go get measured again and update your underwear drawer.
Here are a few of my favourites out there at the moment to help beautify body and soul because, whilst the products and the make up will make you look gorgeous, as anyone who's gone from wearing the wrong sized underwear to finding their true size - discovering that you actually have a waist and only two boobs, not four - will tell you, there's nothing like that confident, sexy feeling of fabulous, well-fitting lingerie no matter what your size.
Have a beautiful Valentine's everyone x

8 Origins Plantscription SPF25 cream with Raspberry Plant Stem Cell Technology - this is one crazy high tech sounding super-moisturiser with a good dose of sun protection too, £46 from John Lewis and www.origins.co.uk
9 Origins Plantscription Broad Spectrum SPF15 Anti-Aging Foundation - I have recently switched to this from my usual tinted moisturiser and absolutely love the silky, youthful finish it gives (with great coverage on my very pale skin too) but the fact that it comes in a wipe clean, light tube means I can fling it in my bag to apply on the bus when I'm in a hurry. WIN. £27 from John Lewis or Origins.co.uk as before.
