You’re all set for your first date with that special someone, but you can’t leave home without your heavy and unorganized purse. You spend the night lugging it around because you needed to bring your phone, wallet and keys as well as a full supply of makeup.

If you’re trying to plan the perfect Valentine’s Day date for you and your man, you may be feeling a bit stressed as the holiday quickly approaches. Trying to keep the night low-key but romantic and special, you’ve decided to cook a gourmet meal – paired with a nice bottle of wine, of course — before the two of you enjoy a candle-lit dinner and some alone time at home. Perhaps you want to give your partner a sensual massage as a calorie-free dessert. Wanting to look your best, you’ve also bought a new dress and some sexy heels. But what else can you do to let your love know how much you care?
There isn’t much time left before Valentine’s Day, and if you’re anything like the staff here at CupidsPulse.com, we are always looking for unique ideas to celebrate the holiday. Recently, we stumbled upon a very cool way to have a memorable night with your significant other or best girlfriends. It’s called Wine Battles, and we have a feeling it’s going to be a hit once more people hear about it.
While the season of gift giving is upon us, it is also the season of stress and crowded malls and last minute shopping. With the endless options of presents, how do you ever decide what to get your sister, best friend and co-worker? One idea — something that is unique and smells good to boot — is purchasing a new perfume. With that thought in mind, we decided to round up the best celebrity fragrances of 2012 — and hopefully help you out with some of your holiday shopping. Plus, two lucky CupidsPulse.com readers will win a bottle of Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift!

You and your sweetheart have been together for a few months now, and it’s finally time to meet the parents. You know you have to dress to impress, but winter’s on its way, and with it comes the death of all your favorite outfits. You have the perfect sweater dress picked out, but don’t want to clunk around in winter boots all night, and the cold air forces you to bundle up and to pack all your cute shoes away, leaving you feeling less than stylish in the snow. If you want any chance to impress your beau’s parents, you have to find a way to stay attractive and fashionable despite the weather.
You’ve been trying to catch the eye of your cute co-worker for weeks. You know the two of you would hit it off, but you can’t seem to get his attention. One day during lunch at a nearby park, as you’re playing on your cell phone to give yourself a much-deserved break from your stressful day, he suddenly starts walking your way! You wonder what finally grabbed his attention…and then you notice the light reflecting off of your phone case from Posh Life Bling.
After months of begging your girlfriend to help make it happen, you finally score a date with the tall, handsome coworker you’ve been eyeing in her office. He finally takes notice and asks you out on an incredibly romantic date to a fantastic Italian restaurant. The only problem is that every meal on the menu features your worst enemy: garlic. How are you supposed to impress this guy when bad breath is getting in the way?
While this scenario may be your worst nightmare, there’s an easy solution. Binaca breath fresheners, including Breath Drops and AEROblasts Breath Spray, will save the day in sticky situations just like this one. After all, Binaca breath fresheners are the only fresheners that have passed the “kissalicious” test. These products kill the germs that cause bad breath and dissolve lingering aftertastes instantly to make you ready for that kiss at the end of the night.
Ladies, let’s face it. No matter what frustrating gender-based challenges still exist in this male-dominated world, women have more rights and freedoms than ever before, thanks to the hard work of our ancestors. That is not to say that everything is perfect; such a concept may never exist. However, in this day and age, it is finally possible to have your cake and eat it too. We are better women, better lovers and better mothers. If history has any knowledge of our future, chances are, we are only going to get better with time.
One woman familiar with the concept of having it all is Nicki Minaj. With her creative musical abilities, iconic sense of style and star originality, she set out to succeed in the male-dominated hip hop world – and has done an incredible job thus far. Minaj continually pushes through boundaries to achieve her extraordinary vision, something that her millions of Barbz (her fans’ nickname) love to emulate. Determined to express herself through various mediums, she now applies her passion for life to the world of fragrance.
It’s Friday! You’ve had a long week and cannot wait to get home to snuggle up with your partner and enjoy the weekend. Then you remember…it’s your anniversary, his birthday, Father’s day or some other special moment. You have so many errands to run. You need to pick up the dry cleaning, drop off a package at the post office and complete the week’s grocery shopping before you can even think about what to buy your significant other. Will there ever be enough time in the day to do it all?
Luckily, you can cut down on the errand time by using Amazon.com. The site offers gift cards to purchase just about anything with card designs for virtually any occasion. You can even upload your own photo and schedule delivery for up to one year in advance, eliminating any last-minute stress!

Being a woman can be tough. If you’re climbing the corporate ladder, then your days are spent at the office, always trying to stay one step ahead. Or if you’re a mom, you’re dealing with busy days and late nights. And what about the women who juggle a career while raising their kids? All that work makes you tired and irritable – and leaves you no time for your relationship.

We’ve all been there: it’s your first date with your tall, dark and handsome crush from the accounting department. You want to look perfect for this guy and have picked out your favorite date outfit to wear to a movie in the city. Unfortunately, as you’re getting ready for the night, it begins to downpour outside. You want to make a good impression for your new man but can’t see yourself trekking through puddles in 3 inch open-toe heels. Clunky old rain boots aren’t an option either. Luckily, the new Laguna boot from Ahnu can save your date night from being a fashion disaster and keep your feet dry and warm, no matter what the weather brings.

Maybe you’re one of those women who thinks guys aren’t paying attention to what you wear on a date. Or, perhaps you’re the type who always sacrifices comfort for the sake of fashion. After all, fashion and comfort couldn’t possibly go hand-in-hand, could they? Well, we just found a company that designs amazing shoes that seamlessly fuse both!
Tsubo, Japanese for “Pressure Point,” designs shoes that are fashion forward and extremely comfortable. Tsubo men’s shoes, women’s shoes and Tsubo sneakers combine fresh style with signature Pod technology, strategically placed cushioning at the foot’s pressure points that provide amazing comfort.
Whether you’re divorced, married or single we can all relate to the heartbreak and fury one in every two married couples are facing these days. One thing to keep in mind is that it’s “better to be mad than sad” — as Ruthe Ponturo, creator and co-producer of Divorce — The Musical, says.
