My husband has one of the hardest beards on the face of this earth.  It literally feels like rubbing against steel wool at times because it's just so thick and coarse.  Unfortunately, he works in an office where he must be clean shaven each day for there's a company policy against having beards.

Couple his coarse beard with his unbelievably sensitive skin and you have a horrible shaving situation that causes my husband a lot of daily pain and aggravation.  He's tried different shaving creams and even methods of shaving, but the end result is always the same: ingrown hairs and razor burn galore.  :cry:

This Valentine's Day, I've vowed to finally end his shaving woes once and for all, thus giving him the gift that keeps on giving all year long.  This year, he's being introduced to The Art of Shaving...

When you're young, that fresh youthful glow stays with you no matter what.  Didn't get enough sleep last night, drank too much or have a poor diet?  No worries!  The bloom of youth hides everything!  :awe:

Unfortunately, as we age, just the opposite is true.  EVERYTHING we do shows up on our faces, making us look old and tired.  All of the time spent out in the sun, staying up late, being stressed out and eating poorly begin to add up and wreak havoc on our skin.  Recapturing our youthful glow is next to impossible then...or is it?

When I was younger, I loved drinking an ice cold beer from time to time.  In the South, beer is almost as popular as iced tea and quite frankly, I just wasn't exposed to wine much.  As I got older, I became more and more curious about wine and with the help of a few knowledgeable friends, I quickly began to see what all the fuss was about.

Now, at age 36, I prefer a glass of wine any day to a bottle of beer and have even converted my husband into a bona fide wine lover as well.  Enjoying a great vintage though is not as easy as enjoying a beer.  Much care must go into properly storing and serving your bottle of wine in order to truly reap the nuances and flavors it has to offer.

Unfortunately, I live in a house divided!  My husband can't get enough of the red wines and I am a devoted white wine fan.  Keep reading to learn the secret of how to store both your white and red wines at the proper temperatures as well as just what those temperatures should be.

We've all been there before...kids screaming like a bunch of banshees, dishes overflowing in the sink, a neverending shopping list and dinner that needs to be made.  Sometimes this happens once in a while, but for most of us, hectic situations like these are an everyday occurrence.

A quick recharge of your batteries is definitely in order so that you can get back to being super woman again, but how do you relax best?  For me, even when I'm relaxing, I like to receive a quick resurgence of energy so that I can successfully tackle everything that needs to be done once my break is over.

That's right, I'm talking about my best friend coffee!  :coffee:  It's no wonder "coffee breaks" have been around for so long.  They are truly a great way to unwind.  But have you ever thought about what coffee you're using during your stint of "me time"?

Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays because I'm typically lucky enough to be showered with two presents I absolutely adore:  sweets and jewelry!  Even though I try my best to behave during the holiday season and not gorge on too many delectable treats, Valentine's Day is the one day of the year I "treat" myself and go hog wild!

This year, 1-800-BAKERY offered me a chance to indulge my sweet tooth in an amazing way...with a Red Velvet Cake made by Chef Steve himself!  Are you drooling yet?  I was!  :drool:
