February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partn February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partnered with @MedIQCME and Duke Health to raise awareness about atrial fibrillation (AFib), also known as irregular heartbeat which affects 12 million people.My father was diagnosed with AFib and my family has a history of this condition, so I do my best to learn as much as I can about it.

I’ve learned that when the atrium’s squeezing becomes irregular, blood doesn’t flow as smoothly through the heart and clots can form. Those clots can travel to the brain, disrupting the oxygen supply and causing a stroke. People with AFib are at approximately 5 times greater risk for stroke than those with regular heartbeats. Stroke is a leading cause of death and also of serious, long-term disability. It is essential to get to a hospital quickly if you suspect a stroke in yourself or others.Learn the acronym FAST to recognize the signs of stroke: 

F = Face. Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A = Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? 

S = Speech. Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?

T= Time. If you see any of these signs, call 9-1-1 right away.

Style Cues: What to Wear on Valentine’s Day


Style Cues What to Wear on Valentine's Day

One of the loveliest holidays is on the horizon: Valentine’s Day! Whether you’re headed for a romantic night on the town or plan to spend the evening curled up on the couch, February 14 is the ideal day to wear your heart on your sleeve – or dress. Here are some tips on what to wear on Valentine’s Day, guaranteed to sweeten up your style:

Romantic Evening

A romantic evening could include dinner, flowers, chocolates, dancing, or hopefully, all of the above. It doesn’t matter if it’s a first or fifty-millionth date with your beloved – you want a smooch-worthy look. To stand out amongst the inevitable sea of red and pink dresses, try a sexy, sophisticated red jumpsuit. Add edge with a white leather moto jacket. When your partner sees you, it will be love at first sight.

Romantic Evening

Leather jacket / Coast jumpsuits romper / Chloé black ballet flat / Vintage handbag / Betsey Johnson earrings / Dolce Gabbana lips makeup

‘Rotic Dinner

What do you do on Valentine’s Day if you’re not seeing anyone special but still want to go out? One of my graduate school professor’s came up with the perfect solution: a “rotic” dinner. Romantic without the “man.” Get it? It’s basically code for a fun girls’ night out, which is a fabulous way to celebrate Valentine’s Day! For your ensemble, think feminine and flirty. A sassy pink skirt, black top, and adorable accessories will have you collecting many conversation hearts.

Rotic Dinner

Boatneck sweater / Pink knee length skirt / Karen Millen faux-suede boots / RED Valentino handbag/ Malababa earrings / Les Néréides bracelet jewelry / Betsey Johnson crown necklace

Date with a DVD

For some singular sensations, a cozy couch plus a mini-movie marathon on Valentine’s Day equals a match made in heaven. Even at a party of one, you can dress to impress yourself. Don a cheeky statement sweatshirt, relaxed joggers, and warm red socks. Don’t forget to stock up on ice cream and/or chocolate. After all, it is a holiday.

DVD Diva

Zoe Karssen polyester shirt / Neil Barrett leather pants/ Maria La Rosa ankle socks / First People First red earrings

Friends’ Night Out

An alternative to the tradition dinner or movie night is to grab your friends and do something active – like challenge each other to old-school video games, work on becoming wine connoisseurs at a tasting, or brush up on creative skills at a painting class. Your outfit for a friends’ night out needs to be comfortable enough to accommodate unexpected undertakings. (Karaoke, anyone?) Go for jeans, a tee shirt, and cute accessories. Look for accents like heart patterns and shapes for a festive touch.

Friends Night Out

Short sleeve shirt / Sole Society flat shoes / Alexander McQueen clutch / Celebrity jeans / Blue earrings

I hope these style cues help you make the most out of your Valentine’s Day—stylishly of course 🙂
