“5 things you should try this Valentine’s Day…”
With the Day of Love and Romance quickly approaching many of us are scrambling last minute to find the best gifts, think of the best plans and out-do whatever marvelous gift we presented to our loved ones last year.
Whether you are planning to spoil yourself or a loved one, we have 5 Amazing, Health Conscious and Eco-Friendly Ideas that will knock anyone’s socks off this year.
- Bubble Bath – Nothing is better than relaxing in an aromatic, relaxing, warm bubble bath. But there is nothing romantic about having to clean the bath tub afterwards. Lotus Aroma offers amazing Bath & Shower Gels with aromas that can relax, rejuvenate and energize! An added bonus: they don’t leave a nasty soap ring around the bathtub. These gels can be used for bubble baths or in the shower as a body wash. With a pH of 5 it doesn’t strip the skins natural oils leaving your skin hydrated and healthy.
- Baked Treats – Spoiling that special someone, or yourself, with sweets, once in a while never hurts, but many of you know the negative effects Sugar has on our bodies. Worry no more, swap that sugar for Lakanto. Lakanto is a Zero Calorie Sugar Free Sweetener made out of Monk Fruit, and with a glycemic level of zero it is the ideal sugar replacement. Pick a recipe, any recipe, swap the sugar(golden or white) with Lakanto and enjoy the benefits and delicious taste. We baked these Decadent Chocolate Fudge Brownies just the other day as a Pre-Valentine’s Day test: http://www.lakanto.com/recipe/low-glycemic-decadent-chocolate-fudge-brownies-with-lakanto/#.VrucQ_krKwV #SUCCESS
- Movie Night – Theatres can be crowded and the snacks can be expensive. Plan a “stay-in” movie night with your special someone. Pick your favourite movie, dim the lights, and cuddle up with a bowl of freshly popped popcorn. Sometimes popcorn can be a little blah, so this time mix it up – make this amazing Lemon, Garlic & Herb popcorn: https://www.facebook.com/CarlsonLabs/photos/a.527812793916269.120168.391172757580274/1013573498673527/?type=3&theater – it’s super easy, and you’ll be getting the added bonus of Carlson’s Super D Omega 3.
- Scavenger Hunt – Plan out a scavenger hunt or nature walk, take a hike through the woods. Being outdoors can help relieve copious amounts of stress and tension. Grab some Two Mom’s in the Raw Granola Bars, or pack a picnic and head out for a few hours. Enjoy the outdoors, and each other’s company.
- Massage – Nothing is more romantic than a massage. An added bonus, there are so many health benefits of having a massage: http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-17620/why-massages-are-great-for-your-health-infographic.html.
