I’m aware that Valentine’s Day is getting near, not because I have big plans (oops, better get on that) but because my in-box is bursting with reminders from the beauty publicists of America. They have ideas. And they would like to share them helpfully for my Valentine’s or Galentine’s gift guides.

Who knew that so many things could be wrapped in heart-printed paper? How about these suggestions that actually arrived in my in-box: a bamboo flosser, a foot cream, a device that removes facial hair, a device that unclogs pores? How would you feel on February 14, unwrapping a jar of colostrum? Just a little floss and colostrum to warm a cold night.
