Here are 13 Valentine Sweepstakes for you.

Afternoon Delight.  Delightful 29-year-old Kate Hudson looks like a sunshine on a cloudy day in her yellow Dior dress on the February 2009 cover of Elle.

What we love about Kate:  Jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer, Tobey Maguire's wife, who has been a longtime friend of Kate, tattles on Kate. Jennifer recalls Kate getting sent home for wearing her skirts too short.  Yours truly -- not the Mother Blogger -- was reprimanded more than once for trying to make a school uniform her own.  It's authenticity at its best!

We need something to tantalize our Tuesday.  Buried under more than a foot of snow with a blizzard right around the corner, we are dreaming of free giveaways from beauty blogs and magazines to cheer us up.

Enter now.

If Manic Monday didn't put a smile on your face, maybe Tantalizing Tuesday will lift your spirits.  Good, better, and best -- Jeez, English grammar can be so frustrating with its irregular forms like good, better, best, due to the complex etymology of its lexicon, which wipes the smile off our face some days -- but good, better, and best sums up the beauty blog and magazine giveaways this week.

ENTER NOW!

Yes, it's Manic Monday, and we are still taking entries for Santa's Big Bag of Beauty Booty.   Have you entered yet?
