In the mood for love? Me too!

Essence Lipstick in Creamy Nude; MAC Lipstick in Creme de Nude

A few nights ago I went to give my son the usual extra kisses on his forehead while he was asleep. I swear the kid can smell me, because he woke up.
Eyes still closed he said-
Aaqil: Guess what? Nikki has a crush on me.
I was so tempted to instantly burst his     bubble, but I didn't. Instead..... I entertained it
Me: Yeah? How do you know?
Aaqil: She wrote it on a piece of paper for me
Oh, I get it. More like- Do you like me? check: yes or no. Remember that?
He is truly my child walking around with his heart on his sleeve. But uhh.. too young for that right now. That's when I burst his bubble.

Nevertheless, it reminded me of buying 23 Valentine's and Valentine's day. I  have to say, I do like the spirit of Valentine's day.. and yes I know it's a Hallmark holiday. Like I said, I like the spirit. For me its a reminder to acknowledge feelings and moments. Initiative to create the magic that we can barely fit into our busy days.
For the shy, it gives the comfort that 'check yes if you like me' gave us when we were youngin's.

In the case of the grown and sexy we've adjusted to more visual communication. Just some play on allowing your beauty set the mood. Let your lips talk with pretty pout hues.

Lunch date? Keep it flirty with these pink shades.
