For those of us ready to get our romance on this Saturday with our sweetie, or heck, if you're planning on romancing yourself (always important as well!), here are some lovely items to get you in the mood..
- Ilia Strike it Up - a true blue based red that's organic, moisturizing and semi-matte. Put it on your pucker, blot then re-apply.
- Valentina's Home Brewed True Love oil - a luscious blend of cardamom, chocolate and rose in coconut oil. Slather it on post-shower or bath, it's truly decadent!
- Tata Harper love potion - the name alone, 'nuff said! An exotic blend of essential oils including jasmine, sandalwood, ylang ylang and frankincense, it's 100% a natural aphrodisiac. I know I'm sold!
DIY rose petal face mask:
Once the festivities are over, don't throw out that lovely bouquet! Pick off the petals and soak briefly in cold water. Then extract a handful of petals and place in a mortar and pestle (or if you don't have one, you can use a bowl and bottom of a spice jar) with your favorite facial oil and/or you can use a combo of full-fat plain yogurt and raw organic honey to create a soothing mask. Or, if that's all too much of a bother, place the petals in a large bowl and simply do a facial steam. Use almost boiling water and carefully tent your face over the bowl with a towel - not too close, you don't want to burn yourself! You can throw in some chamomile tea bags for an extra calming steam if you like, and keep the steam session to 10 minutes or less.
Whether you're celebrating self love or sharing it with another (or both!), set the mood with some music that makes you feel groovy and take time to pamper yourself this weekend..
With love,
Shana
