SWEET THING
Trade in your heart-shaped chocolate box for UliMana truffles. Made in Asheville, these fair trade dark chocolates taste anything but gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan. Yet they are. If you’re stocking up for Valentine’s Day, boxes of flavors like turmeric-andginger and coco nectar are available at local Whole Foods stores. ulimana.com
ROYAL TREATMENT
Want a diamond ring just like Prince Harry’s fiancée Meghan Markle’s? You can find it at Bailey’s Fine Jewelry. It’ll cost you around $16,000 for a lookalike of the cushion-cut, Botswanan center diamond flanked by two round brilliant-cut diamonds, all set in 18-carat gold.

If you were born between Jan. 20 and Feb. 18, you’re an Aquarius. Don’t let the wintry chills limit you – it’s your month, get moving. With love in the air, you might want to indulge in an unconventional date night: your benevolent attitude will appreciate volunteering or attending a charity event with your honey (start on page 24 for a few ideas). Since your astrological colors are light blue and silver, consider heading to Cameron Village for the signature cupcake iced in turquoise from Cafe Carolina.
NAMASTE FOR FREE
You can down-dog on a budget this month at the City of Raleigh Museum. Every Saturday at 11:30 am, take to your mat at the museum’s main gallery on Fayetteville Street. Local teachers volunteer to lead each salutation: All you need to bring is a mat.
