February's Aries Horoscope Is Here, and You Can Expect an Epic Valentine's Day -

Welcome to February, hot Aries. When Venus, the planet of love, money, and beauty, ended its retrograde last month, matters of finance and romance became easier to navigate. Now, February brings even better news on the abundance front. On Tuesday, February 1, Juno, the asteroid of marriage, enters aloof Aquarius. As the first sign of the zodiac and a powerful fire sign, you like to get your way, Aries. While you tend to get what you want, at times, your fiery temperament can overwhelm love interests. However, with the detached influence of air sign Aquarius on commitment-oriented Juno, you can navigate romantic relationships rationally. This transit reminds you that when you think before you act, Aries, communication flows more effortlessly, and you reach your end goal quicker than when you act on emotions alone.

Mercury ends its retrograde and goes direct on Thursday, February 3 in hardworking Capricorn, before re-entering Aquarius on Valentine's Day, Monday, February 14. It looks like you're in for a satisfying Valentine's Day this year, Aries. With Mercury direct, and the rational influence of air sign Aquarius, you have an easier time communicating directly about your needs. If you're in a relationship and expect a nice dinner, followed by gifts and hot s*x, make sure to relay that to your partner calmly, so they know how to treat you up to your standards. Conversely, if you're single, or want to blow off the over-hyped holiday for any reason, make that clear, too. Whether it's a night alone, giving you plenty of time to take a long bath and ma******te, or a romantic dinner for two, you can get precisely what you want from Cupid. You just have to express those desires to others. Your partner(s), friends, and other loved ones can't read your mind.

What Is Sofwave? Everything You Need to Know About the Skin-Tightening Device -

I'll admit it: I find in-office skin treatments intimidating. I know they're perfectly safe and effective (heck, I've made a living writing about how safe and effective they are, and still, I've never worked up the courage to try anything beyond Botox.

But as I cruise through my 30s, I'm considering being more proactive about preventative skin treatments, especially around my dark and baggy undereye area (a strong, hereditary Clark family trait). I recently interviewed New York City-based board-certified dermatologist Blair Murphy-Rose, M.D., about the newest treatments and devices for fine lines, and she specifically raved about the efficacy and next-level technology of a new device called Sofwave. The treatment the tool offers is marketed as a quick, 30-minute, no-downtime procedure that stimulates collagen to reduce the appearance of fine lines as well as tighten mild jowling and loose skin.

Honestly, it sounded too good to be true. Painless? No downtime? Preventative and corrective? Low to no risk? What is this unicorn of a treatment? I figured that if this device checks all these boxes then there could be no easier entry-point to skin treatments, so I booked an appointment.
