The Month of Love

Whether you're single, married or simply love the idea of champagne and chocolates, Valentine's Day is an opportunity for love. The perfect time to reconnect with yourself, take time to pamper and practice self-care. What better excuse than Valentine's to spoil yourself? I've put together 5 cosy Valentine's Day ideas that you and your loved one(s) will enjoy. 

The Classic Bubble Bath

To some a cliché, but to those who appreciate a well earned rest, the bubble bath definitely takes the crown. Create a sensual moment of calm with some epsom salts, glass of prosecco and favourite chocs.

A Body Massage

Set the mood with an essential oil diffuser or candle and grab your favourite pampering products. A solid lotion bar works great for this; LUSH is where I first discovered solid bars and they are fab! Work your way around the body with the lotion and then massage deeply into the skin. Your body deserves as much love as your face!

Tingly Scalp Massage

By far the best part of seeing your hairdresser- the scalp massage! Use a hair oil or even just grab a bottle of castor oil from a local drugstore. Work the product into the scalp whilst calming music plays and you're in for a winner. A scalp massager tool is also one of the best investments I've made!😍

Get Crafty

We've all seen the Pinterest DIY hacks for beauty products...but some of them really do work! If you're a coffee lover, grind some beans and add an oil of your choice (I recommended jojoba oil) for an in shower scrub. The same works for sugar; add a sugar of your choice with oil and get scrubbing! Or you could create a face pack using avocado, coconut oil and honey for glowing skin. 

Candle making sesh

Reuse old candle jars by melting a wax of your choice and adding essential oils to create a relaxing aroma for your pamper night. If you're feeling fancy you could get a candle making kit; I recommend the Kali Home Candle Kit or shop on Etsy for an array of choices!

Why treating yourself is as important as treating your loved one

"“Love yourself enough to set boundaries. Your time and energy are precious. You get to choose how you use it. You teach people how to treat you by deciding what you will and won’t accept.” - Anna Taylor
