Aromatherapy Personals™Organic Aphrodisiac and Pratima Love Oil

For some reason, I can never fully relax during a couple’s massage at a spa. And yet, there’s nothing sexier than exchanging massages with your Valentine in the privacy of your own home. Besides the right mood, all you really need is each other and maybe some massage oil….and an aphrodisiac wouldn’t hurt either.

Aromatherapy Personals™Organic Aphrodisiac contains essential oils known to enhance sensuality and restore sexual energy including Jasmine, Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang and Patchouli. Just dab a bit on your erogenous zones and Valentine’s Day will be well under way! Available at http://www.SpiritBeautyLounge.com.

Awhile back, I had one of the best, most mind-numbing facials at Pratima Ayurvedic Spa located in Soho. And now their environmentally friendly product line of over 50 products is available at http://www.pratimaskincare.com. Check out Dr. Pratima;s “sweet and spicy” Love Oil and get ready for another mind-numbing Pratima experience.

Romance season is upon us – dare we say – in the form of Valentine’s Day. It creeps up on us every year and those of us who do have sig others feel lucky to have them, but unlucky that we have to not only buy gifts, but buy ourselves some semblance of an outfit and a thrown-together makeover. The winter is not always forgiving to hair, so Feb. 14th can be a dreaded day in which hair preparation is just one of many rituals we’d rather not undergo. But at least we can take solace in knowing that regardless of our plans for the evening; with a few newfangled products we can virtually stop traffic with the renewed gorgeousness of our hair. Whether it’s an intensive moisture, strengthening or gloss treatment you are looking for, these products are a surefire way to guarantee that you and your date (or perhaps, excitingly, you and a stranger) will have at least one thing to talk about as you gaze into each other’s eyes over sub-par tiramisu or cocktails.
