RED HOT
Celebrate Beauty & Style
By Gerrie Summers
It’s February, the month of love and romance. We’ve got a lot of red hot love, hearts, and (calorie-free!) chocolate to help you celebrate. And since we believe in self-love, we’ve got items to pamper yourself!
WAXING KARA
Haute Cocoa Spa Tower
Chocolate lovers, here’s a treat with fewer calories than a box of chocolate (actually zero) but just as decadent! Waxing Kara’s Haute Cocoa Spa Tower contains Haute Cocoa Honey Body Butter (dark chocolate), infused with real cocoa extracts and rich plant butters; Haute Cocoa Cocoa-Blueberry Renewing Mask, made with real cocoa and antioxidant-rich botanicals; Peace Soak (bath soak with lavender buds), a combination of Epsom and dead sea salts and fresh-picked lavender buds to ease sore muscles; Honey Body Scrub (dark chocolate) honey crystals, cocoa powder, and plant butters to gently exfoliate and moisturize the skin; and Haute Cocoa Soy Candle with an aroma-therapeutic chocolate scent.

SHOW ME YOUR MUMU
Sandrine Ruffle Dress
What could be more fitting for Valentine’s Day than to step out in the perfect little red dress? Show Me Your MuMu has several. A red hot pick: the Sandrine Ruffle Dress in Red Silky Cheetah has tiered ruffles and a subtle animal print. You can walk on the wild side and have them seeing red (in a good way, of course!)

Spirito Fiorentino is a fragrance you can share.

The fragrance is inspired by the history and tradition of Florence, Italy. The unisex scent has top notes of lily, orange, saffron and jasmine and a base of oak moss, sandalwood, birch, and musk. Available at Neiman Marcus.
