Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to showcase your individual style. But if you can’t decide what to wear today, take a few suggestions from Aloha Nights and In My Closet in Kahala Mall.

RED DRESS
DIP-DYED BLOUSE
TEAL TANK
LINGERIE
A one-shoulder dress gets all the attention. A vibrant color is always a go-to for immediate date seduction. Pair it with a solid blue clutch for a pictureperfect date.
A burst of color is always fun. Leave your guy breathless in a button-up coral top that looks classy but lowkey with a pair of SoHo skinny jeans and espadrilles. It’s perfect for everything from dinner to a house party and is sure to wow his parents for that first meeting.
Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples: Get dressed up with your girlfriends in a Naked Zebra teal tank that shows you off – without revealing too much. Put on a cute pencil skirt and heels and hold a carry-all clutch for your necessities.
When you head back to his place after your date, show him that you put some thought into the night with sweet and sexy lingerie. Keep these tips in mind:

1. Black is slimming. 2. Lacy details add mystique. 3. A robe can be provocative. Nothing like covering up to make the mind wander…

AN ALOHA NIGHTS COORDINA ICA FREEM TOR VERON
Scenario: You went out with a couple of friends after work, had a crazy night and you met a great girl (or maybe she seemed great at the time). Now, waking up at noon, hung over, you realize there is no way you’re going to get her out of your place without her putting up a fight. Solution? Take her out to breakfast.
1. GIVE LOTS OF OPTIONS You don’t know if this girl is a vegetarian or a picky eater. A place with a diverse menu means you really don’t have to worry about it. My recommendation is Eggs ‘N Things, which serves up tofu and egg whites in addition to eggs benedict and other standard fare. 2. FIGHT YOUR HANGOVER A bit of protein in your system will do you good. I suggest the Ahi Steak. If this girls turns out to be a complainer, at least you can chow down while she spends her time talking.
4. THE PRICE Breakfast is perfect because it’s generally cheaper than other meals. At Eggs ‘N Things, don’t even worry: Nothing on the menu runs over $20, so you can get breakfast for two without breaking your bank. 5. BRING SOME FRIENDS While you’re on your way, why not invite a couple friends? There’s nothing like a big brunch to make things less awkward. Lean towards talkative or humorous friends, they can make any sticky situation seem funny.

3. CHECK HER OUT Since she’s probably majorly hungover, now is a good time to see if she’s someone you might be interested in (or at least find attractive). After all, seeing someone at his or her worst can be a major breaking point in any relationship.

Come Valentine’s Day, there’s no need to go to an upscale restaurant that puts pressure on your wallet. A laidback coffee and smoke shop like Smokey’s can be a great alternative.

($112)

roses paired with balloons or bears ($50-$75)
PROTIPS FROM A FLORIST 1. Always include a card. Your paramour might not realize the gift is from you.
2. Men like receiving flowers too. Don’t rule it out as an option. 3. Preorder your flowers! You may be fighting quite a crowd if you go late.
DON’T LIKE ROSES? Spring flower arrangements (ranging from $55-$65) are a good alternative for the lady who likes bright colors but “doesn’t want too many roses.”
BONUS BERETANIA BITS - Beretania Florist sells Ecuadorian roses (70 cm) – one of the few florists on the island who do. This means that its roses are bigger and lusher than normal blooms. - If you are running late, the shop will be open on Valentine’s Day and is prepared for latecomers.
TOP FIVE MOST POPULAR COLORS
Overflowing with options Smokey’s serves up a variety of drinks: everything from coffee to smoothies to different flavors of kava. They also serve acai bowls and gelato waffles to satisfy a sweet tooth. More importantly, Smokey’s isn’t limited to edibles – just check their name. Their assortment of glass pipes, hookahs and e-cig accessories span the walls. Whatever you need for your groove, they have it. Want to give your senses a little something else? Pick a few incense sticks from their collection to keep the good vibes going even back home.
Save money, gain romance Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be a production. Mellow, casual dates take the pressure off and can be more fun than waiting for a reservation at some five-star restaurant. Smokey’s is ideal to lounge around and share a drink (or a smoke) with your friends or significant other. After all, spending time is more important than spending your paycheck. Smokey’s is within walking distance to campus, so you can cut traffic out of the equation.

1. PULL OUT THE PORN Pull your naughty videos out and bring them into the bedroom for a change of pace. Pick your favorite flick, and spend the night recreating scenes with your partner. 2. GO DOWNTOWN Everyone loves receiving oral; it’s like the trophy wife of sex moves, but in order to receive, one must give. If they don’t return the favor, ditch them.

1. FAKE IT If things aren’t working out in the bedroom, vocalize what you want. What’s the point if you are going to fake an orgasm? 2. SMALL TALK Talking during sex is a mood killer unless you are giving direction or screaming someone’s name. If you can have a conversation, you’re not working hard enough.

CONDOM GUIDE

When it comes to sex, there is something of the utmost importance, yet overlooked: what kind of condoms do you buy? It can be a difficult decision, but here’s a guide to help you prep efficiently for the bedroom.

Sex is a crucial part of intimacy, whether you’re making love or just hooking up. Here is some bedroom etiquette to live by that’ll please your significant other, regardless of your relationship standings.
DON’T
PARTY

1. BE COURTEOUS Women were not placed on this earth solely to satisfy the male appetite. Not every girl is into the same things as you, so don’t expect her to do what she doesn’t want to. 2. CUDDLE Spend a little time cuddling and having pillow talk after sex. The oxytocin released will add to the afterglow and help you both sleep a lot sounder and happier. 1. GIVE UP Finishing too soon isn’t the end. Go back to foreplay, give it some time, keep her excited and wanting, and before you know it, you’ll be right back in the saddle. 2. APOLOGIZE Apologizing constantly is a huge turnoff. Things happen during sex; there’s going to be a bump here and there. Don’t spoil the moment.

Trying to bring something new into the bedroom? Fire & Ice by Trojan ($10.99) is a dualaction lubricant condom that gives both partners a warming, tingling sensation during coitus. Be careful guys: you might finish a lot sooner than expected.
MAXIMUM PLEASURE You’ve heard people say it: using a condom diminishes pleasure. But the right condom can actually heighten everything for both parties. Extra Sensitive Ribbed Latex Condoms from Durex ($12.99) are “ribbed for her pleasure,” without sacrificing your own.
THEY JUST DON’T FIT Condoms are elastic enough to fit any sort of endowment, so before you grab a box of Magnums, try out the Pleasure Pack from Trojan ($7.59). You’ll get a nice range to choose from, so find a pair that fits your girth comfortably without succumbing to your ego.

SHAMPOO AND DEEP CONDITION Tomic said, “A spa experience with a good head massage to recover from the night” is a good way for hair to regain its senses.
HEALTHY AIR’ TREATMENT? Healthy Air is a triple air filtration system that sucks out pollutants, leaving hair clean and intact. Billy Fong is the only salon that offers Healthy Air on Oahu. After your performance last night, splurge a little; you deserve it.

ROCK THE SEX HAIR! Hair gets nourishment from within, and sometimes fixing your ‘do is not necessary. “Sex actually promotes healthy hair, as it controls the hormones,” Tomic explained. Instead of adding product, leave your hair alone. You did your job, now let your body do what it can for you.
VOLUME 2 ISSUE 5
KERATIN This protein product is excellent because you can do this at home! After-sex hair is often frizzy and unmanageable, but keratin will smooth out the damages. No one will even know what you did last night.

STOP INTO THE SALON FOR A STYLING Tomic can fix hair according to face shape, eyes, skin tone and clothing! “Completely polished or slightly messy,” he stated. “Everyone has something that works for them.”
ALOHA NIGHTS
The morning after a steamy encounter is far from pretty: missing clothes, wrinkled sheets, and worst of all, a tangled wreck of hair. Luckily, Herve’ Tomic of Billy Fong Studio B has a few tricks that will get your mane back to normal.
