This Valentine's Day, don't underestimate the seductive power of scent. Both men and women respond to tantalizing blends of floral, fruity, spicy, and even woodsy ingredients - which is why indulging in the right personal fragrance is essential to setting the intimate mood you desire.

Don't know where to start? We recommend these seven sexy fragrances:

1. Plum sugar. The right balance of fruity and floral scents creates an irresistible bouquet without being overwhelming. Try Acqua Fiorentina, a new fragrance for women by the House of Creed, which combines sweet greengage plums and bergamot oranges with notes of rose, carnation, lemon, cedar, and sandalwood.

2. Buttery goodness. Tempt your lover and soothe your skin at the same time with Booty Parlor's Flirty Little Secret body butter. Featuring the fresh, light scents of blackberry, honey, and vanilla, this creamy moisturizer is laden with pheromones to drive your Valentine wild.

Treat yourself to 100% Pure's Chocolate Mocha Body Cream for a rich, delicious fragrance that is sure to draw him closer.

3. Spicy heat. Nothing says masculine like spicy notes of pepper, ginger, cardamom, or cinnamon. Help your man start his day right with Molton Brown's Re-Charge Black Pepper Body Wash. Steeped in black pepper oil, this gel formula will not only wake up his senses, but boost his circulation, too.

4. Rich aroma. What is more attractive than the sweet smell of success? To bring out your sexy professional side, try Bond No. 9 Wall Street, which combines citrus, marine, and herbal notes for a cool, zesty scent.

5. Rosy cheek. Go bold with a new twist on the classic, sexy scent of roses. The Juliette Has a Gun collection features sassy names like Citizen Queen and Lady Vengeance, which marries the scent of Bulgarian rose with spicy patchouli and soothing vanilla for an edgy, attractive fragrance.

6. Musk haves. Rich musk notes can bring out the animal in the one you love. For a feminine twist, try CoSTUME NATIONAL 21, which combines musky undertones with the light scents of pure milk and orange blossom for a warm, sensual blend.

7. Smooth finish. Want to dance cheek-to-cheek with your man? Introduce him to The Art of Shaving.

How to Make Baby Formula at Home

!±8± How to Make Baby Formula at Home

It is an undisputed fact that breast milk is best for your baby. If for whatever reason, you are unable to breastfeed, or you choose not to breastfeed, there are other options you can choose instead of going directly for store-bought dry baby formula. Though it may take a little extra time out of your busy "Mommy Schedule", you can make baby formula at home. You can choose a milk-based formula which is the most common form of homemade formulas.

Breast milk is rich in whey, lactose, vitamin C, niacin and polyunsaturated fatty acids. This milk-based formula takes all of those ingredients into consideration in preparation. Adding gelatin to the formula will help with any constipation issues that may arise with a homemade formula and will give digestion a boost. When using a milk formula, it is important to buy an organically based product, free of disease and additives from cows which are pasture fed. This will ensure that your baby is getting its optimum nutrition. If you are unable to find organic milk in your area, the next best option is to get whole milk at the store. Make sure that it is unhomogenized. In order to restore the enzymes that will be lacking in the whole milk, you will need to add piima or kefir culture to the milk.

The make baby formula at home recipe from Radiant Life Catalog is as follows:

2 cups whole milk, preferably unprocessed milk from pasture-fed cows
1/4 cup homemade liquid whey (See recipe for whey, below) Note: Do NOT use whey from making cheese--it will cause the formula to curdle. Use only homemade whey made from yoghurt, kefir or separated raw milk.
4 tablespoons lactose*
1/4 teaspoon bifidobacterium infantis**
2 or more tablespoons good quality cream (not ultra pasteurized), more if you are using milk from Holstein cows
1 teaspoon regular dose cod liver oil or 1/2 teaspoon high-vitamin cod liver oil*
1 teaspoon expeller-expressed sunflower oil*
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil*
2 teaspoons coconut oil*
2 teaspoons Frontier brand nutritional yeast flakes*
2 teaspoons gelatin*
1 7/8 cups filtered water
1/4 teaspoon acerola powder*
