Makeup Gourmet Chris Scott’s Three Easy Winning Tips For Making Saint Valentines Day a Super Bowl


SAN FRANCISCO, January 29, 2010 - Saint Valentine’s Day and the NFL Super Bowl are only one week apart this year. For the Valentine’s Day impaired, Chris Scott, the Makeup Gourmet shares how treating Valentine’s Day like a Super Bowl will make both events produce fantastic results. Mr. Scott’s seasoned advice comes from years of working with women and fulfilling their makeup needs.

Make a Passionate Commitment
With the same fervor that plans are made to make Super Bowl Sunday an all day event, so shall Valentine’s Day be. “Try to foresee every scenario and plan accordingly” Mr. Scott says. “Making a list of needs the day before and getting shopping out of the way is one way to insure that every moment will be met without distraction”. One never knows when they will score a touchdown, but if one fails to prepare, prepare to fail.

Create the Environment
The whole point of Super Bowl is to have an interruption free six hours where every need is met. So is it with Saint Valentines. It is important to have a clear schedule so that romantic spontaneity may rule the day. This way, once the event arrives, participants are free to enjoy the game, fully focused on the sport at hand. Things are bound to get a little messy in the excitement of the competition. Relax and know that whatever happens, it can always get cleaned up later.

Leave it All on the Field
Both Saint Valentine’s Day and the Super Bowl are one-shot deals. Once the event begins, it is time to shed all doubt and enjoy the game like there is no tomorrow. Just as there are four quarters in football, so can there be on Saint Valentine’s Day. Know when to punt and how to get open and be a great receiver. Also remember, after every touchdown, it is equally important to score that extra point. Play beyond expectations once a year and the benefits will resonate throughout the rest of the year.
