I t’s hard to believe the new year is already a month old and Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. If you’re heading out, don’t decide where to go until you’ve read our big Valentine’s feature, we’ve got venue details as well as some tips on the foods you might want to sample to ensure that loving feeling. Staying home? Then treat your loved one, or maybe just yourself, with chef Nitai’s gorgeous cake recipe – I may well be sharing mine with the pups this year. There’re also some humorous gift ideas if you want to spoil your significant other and bring a smile to their face.
Our interviews this month were a pleasure to conduct. We featured Fran Stafford a couple of years ago, when she first launched her fashion line, so it was great to catch up with her at her new pop-up concept. Esky is a former Red House staffer, who has gone on to even greater things! And hearing about the achievements of marathon runner May has left me feeling inspired to drag out my training shoes – let’s see how that works out, they’ve been all around the world without once coming out of my suitcase so far.
I’m also feeling inspired by Behnaz’s homes pages where she shows us how to get a regal vibe even without a princely pocket. I’ve just moved house and am looking forward to putting some of her tips into action.
For this month’s travel, I stuck with the romantic theme to come up with some of the best places to tie the knot – I love the idea of a ceremony at New York Public Library, just need to find the prospective husband first.
As always we’ve got our regular round-ups of fashion and beauty news plus styling and hair tips. Passion’s in our Get The Look pages with Fernanda going all-out in red and she’s shared some great trends for the winter season.
February also sees the launch of Woman This Month’s new-look website where you’ll find regular competitions, news updates and more. I’d love to hear what you think either through our social media or on email at liz@redhousemarketing.com
