Valentine's Day Tips From the Victoria's Secret Angels

For a group of women who have Valentine's Day written into their contracts, you'd expect the Victoria's Secret models to have extravagant plans for the 14th—or at least something involving a heart-shaped bath tub. We asked Adriana Lima, Doutzen Kroes, and Lindsay Ellingson what they're doing this year for Valentine's Day and their tips for adding a bit of sexy oomph to the day.

What's the best gift you've ever received for Valentine's Day?

Lima: "I got married on Valentine's day, so that was the best gift."

Kroes: "To me, it's the surprise. My husband will say 'you have to be ready at eight, wear something chic or casual. One time we went on a helicopter ride over Manhattan—that was really nice."

Ellingson: "This Valentine's Day, he's going to cook for me—I think that's really sweet."

And the best gift you've ever given?

Lima: "Me. In lingerie."

Kroes: "I like it when we do things together. One time I got us tickets to a Broadway show."

Ellingson: "Last Valentine's day I had with a boyfriend and I got him a bunch of Baked by Melissa's cupcakes."

How do you prepare for a sexy night in?

Lima: "I like to smell good so I start by taking a bath, then I get out and lotion my body, then perfume. Everything has to smell good— your hair, your face, your toes, your legs and your belly."

Kroes: "I like to do a scrub. If I'm on the beach, I'll put olive oil on my body and then put on the sand, then go into the ocean. But if I don't have the beach by me, I have a great Lolita scrub."

Ellingson: "Definitely treat yourself to a massage and facial."

And how do you get your hair Victoria's Secret sexy?

Lima: "I just tie it all the way back—that's sexy!"

Kroes: "I do a hair mask that day. Also, I like to put it up then take it down—it looks sexy."

Ellingson: "It's all about treatments because I just went platinum blonde. Shu Uemura has a great conditioning treatment that smells so good!"
