Valentine’s Day is almost here, and it’s time to start planning how you will impress your special someone.  Be creative, and show them how you really feel.  Here are some unique ideas to make your Valentine’s Day special:

  • Take your valentine on a scavenger hunt.  Create riddles for them to answer that will lead them on a sweet adventure. Maybe lead them back to where it all began, and have a second first date.   
  • Give an alternative bouquet.  Instead of a dozen roses, maybe a potted plant, or a candy bouquet made up of their favorite candy bars. 
    • Add in a Macalat chocolate bar which has the added benefits of Maca, which will help boost your frame of mind, and may even help set the mood.
  • Plan a relaxing spa day.  Life is busy, but take Valentine’s Day as an excuse to slow down and pamper yourself and your significant other. 
    • I AM Love will help to set the atmosphere for you to feel your heart heal and open as this heavenly blend of essential oils and gems, inspired by Aphrodite’s sacred mysteries, re-energizes and balances your Heart Chakra. 
    • Take turns giving a massage with Warming Ginger Massage Oil, or create a personalized massage oil for that special someone.  We have all of your favorite scents in the aromatherpy selection.
    •  Relax in the bath with one of our handmade soaps.
  • Make it a themed dinner and a movie night at home. We have the perfect recipes to add your dinner plans.
