2016 Valentine's Day gift and travel guide - Queens Chronicle

Ridgewood, Noctua Diem (noctuadiem.com), makes a wide array of skin serums, exfoliants and face washes. Dollar Shave Club has expanded from selling razors to skin-protection products, with its Dr. Carver and Big Cloud lines. Moisturizers, serums and sun-fighting products from CeraVe, Weleda Men’s Care, Cetaphil Men, Burt’s Bees, Derma-E, Glow Skin Care, St. Ives, Menaji, Turo, Maya Chia, Olie Biologique and the humorously named Kiss My Face are all recommended.Men also have been taking an increasing market share in the fragrance industry. Dolce & Gabbana has humorously created a cologne called The One for Men eau de parfum.” Stetson Decanter comes in a box set. Former Jackson Heights resident and now LA transplant Tara Durkin has an excellent men’s fragrance called Dossage 8.There are obviously thousands of perfumes for women. I am not sure how good it is, but I have to chuckle at the name of House of Matriarch’s big seller, Sex Magic. That rivals the Sex on the Beach perfume from Long Island-based Demeter Fragrances, whose CEO is diehard Mets fan Mark Crames. Safer name choices in the perfume world are Revlon’s Love Is On eau de toilette and Elizabeth Arden’s Always Red.Valentine’s Day, like Halloween, is a day when, barring serious health issues, we can look the other way when it comes to sugar consumption. Godiva and See Candies make tasty chocolates but I have to admit to a special fondness for Ghirardelli’s peppermint bark and caramel squares. You can’t go wrong with StoneRidge Chocolate Covered Cherries and Vermont Nut-Free Chocolates (vermontnutfree.com). Gnosis Chocolate, which is made right here in Long Island City, Seattle Chocolates and Aloha Superfood Chocolate Bar make a variety of confections that taste good and are good for you.The southern part of the United States has always been known for great desserts. Brennan’s of Houston makes these soft praline pieces that remind you of the delicious fudge that you find in Atlantic City. Whoopie pies are a southern treat, but the sweetest that I have ever tasted are those made by Wicked Whoopies... http://www.qchron.com/editions/central/valentine-s-day-gift-and-travel-guide/article_171884cc-ce83-11e5-8063-7f30cf3636d7.html

On Mother’s Day, Mass. Florists Struggle to Meet Demand - nbcboston.com

Florists in Massachusetts struggled to meet the demand for flowers this weekend as families observed Mother's Day, Sunday. Many florists stopped taking orders for Mother’s Day after selling out. Central Square Florist in Cambridge was one of the few still taking orders and delivering.Herbert Berg Florist in Worcester said demand was too high because they are short staffed and have a limited supply. "When we all closed up the beginning of March and April, nobody was buying flowers so the suppliers had nowhere to sell them to," said Sally Jablonski, owner of Herbert Berg Florist. "They were just dumping all the flowers."Gov. Charlie Baker allowed florists and some other non-essential businesses to open — on a remote basis — in time for Mother’s Day, but some business owners said it wasn’t enough time to prepare.Some businesses, however, got creative to make the day special. Monument Restaurant in Charlestown partnered with a local florist, Junebug, to create dozens of pre-ordered breakfas... https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/businesses-adjust-to-mothers-day-during-pandemic/2121803/
