Did you spend Valentine’s Day alone? Did your date not bring you candy and flowers? Did you get all dressed up for nothing? Well, immediately go your local drug store and stock up on all the half off Valentine’s candy, teddy bears, and fuzzy handcuffs, because once you sign up for passion search you’ll be celebrating Valentine’s Day the right way on the 14th of everymonth!

Passion Search is a 100% free dating site with over 19 million members. Talk about a lot of fish in the sea! No credit card required, no lengthy quizzes to take, no introspective questions to answer. Just a great site to connect with others that are looking for the same thing you are…passion!

Now, even though I am happily married, I did go ahead and scope the site out for all of my single readers because I want you all to put those fuzzy handcuffs to good use! I now also have a secret dating profile in case my husband is looking for passion behind my back! Juuust kidding!

A simple intro helps you narrow down your search by gender, location, and age and then you are ready to start meeting people. It can’t get any easier than that!

Just imagine how thrilled I was when Mike asked if I wanted to go to the Chicago Auto Show for Valentine’s Day. Yeah, not very.

I get where the idea came from, and in theory it’s good. I have a 2010 Prius on order and it’s been unveiled and will be on display at the show, but besides spending 10 minutes looking at my soon-to-be new car, spending a holiday all about love and romance at an auto show isn’t very lovey-dovey.

I nicely said that I didn’t want to go, so crisis adverted, but what’s your worst Valentine’s Day story? Eat at a greasy spoon? Get a bouquet that had more baby’s breath than roses? A box of nasty cherry cordial candies?

Worst Valentine’s Day story, judged by Mike and I, gets a copy of the soundtrack to he’s just not that into you! It can be your story, your friend’s story, or a story that’s not really all that bad in the grand scheme of things.

Contest ends Saturday at midnight, just in case this is the worst Valentine’s Day ever.

Please enter a valid first name and email address when entering. Not responsible for invalid entry information. Must comment with your worst Valentine’s Day story to be eligable. US and Canada.

PS – Sorry for making a contest out of your big Valentine’s Day plans, Mike. Hearts.

Get ready to get dirty with Anthony Bourdain, because tonight’s episode of No Reservations is a solid hour of some of the most titillating and tantalizing foods from around the world. Otherwise known as…food porn.

There’s a little something for everyone in this episode of No Reservations, and like Tony says “it’s just filthy.” In a good way, of course.

Tune in tonight at 10pm EST and you might just get some Valentine’s Day ideas courtesy of No Reservations!

I absolutely love going to the horse track, and in the past year have probably been at the track more weekends than I care to admit. The races are amazing to watch and the dedication of the trainers and jockeys is unbelievable. Not to mention I can leave with a little cash in my pocket if I pick the right ponies!

Day and night, people’s lives revolve around training and caring for their animals. Even if they are just casual riders, horses require more care and companionship than a cat or a goldfish, plus the training, equipment and know-how to ride, which I do not possess. That’s why horse lovers need a partner that understands their dedication and shares in their love and appreciation for horses.

If you’re a horse lover looking for love, or just a riding buddy, take advantage of the FREE sign-up at equestrian cupid and find someone to ride off into the sunset with just in time for Valentine’s day. With a large community of singles that share a love for riding, you’ll immediately have something to share and connect over, and maybe even find that perfect match and their, very large, four-legged friend!

Oh, and if you’re a horse lover, feel free to leave me some tips for betting on the ponies!

Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, and jewelry is always the gift to give. Bonus points for unique, homemade jewelry like the magnetic jewelry from Archmaille Designs.

Not only are the pieces beautiful, intricate metalwork, they provide magnetic therapy, which reduces pain by increasing blood flow.

Just a little perk when wearing beautiful, homemade jewelry.
