HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Letter from the Publisher
February 2008

Dear Life Bites Readers,

February is a month for lovers, as well as "Heart Month," and The American Heart Association has some tried and true health programs and menus at www.americanheart.org. Everyone should know CPR, and your local Fire Department can direct you to classes in your area. February 1st, "Wear Red Day" will be celebrated at Macy's stores throughout the nation, and women wearing red will be given a special discount on their purchases.

We have some great cook books for lovers, and heart health volumes in BookBites that will help you keep your resolutions to be healthy, peaceful and prosperous in 2008. We also have a few sinful chocolates and sweets in our gift guide selection. You might want to visit Grand Velas Resort in Puerto Vallarta for a heart-to-heart escape after you read the February Hotel/Chef section. Peruse the Wine/Cocktail section for some unique cocktails for two, or romantic dinner recipes that will please your sweetheart on Valentine's Day.

Our travel section offers wonderful winter get-a-way suggestions, and special offers from carriers around the world. Kids Kaleidoscope has news on the S.S. Ronald Reagan's visit in Santa Barbara harbor, and film news for kids and the whole family. The Health Minded section offers some good ideas on getting fit and staying that way, and Tinsel Town Tidbits, our entertainment section, is jammed with great photos and news on the Santa Barbara International Film Festival 2008.

Have a truely happy Valentine's Day, and thank you for reading our monthly Life Bites News. Don't forget to read our Culinary Coup section for the latest chef, food and restaurant news..

Most cordially,

Bonnie Carroll, Publisher/Editor
