Self-care is great for every day, but some occasions deserve a little extra help (hehe), and Valentine's Day is one of them! Here are a few recipes to have a good time solo, or as a pair.
This February 14th, we wish you, above all and in all circumstances, beautiful, healthy relationships based on mutual respect and complicity. Also, let's remember that the most important sexual organ in humans is the brain, and if it's not feeling right in a situation, no amount of coconut oil will fix it.
1. Chocolate Massage Bars
These little solid bars are made with only three ingredients, 5 minutes of preparation, and lots of love! They stay solid in the hand, but glide on the skin for a very pleasant melt.

Massage candle
Although massage candles look like ordinary candles, they are actually a massage butter! Solid at room temperature, the mixture melts when the wick is lit and transforms into a rich and smooth oil, perfect for massaging tense muscles... and for spicing up intimacy!

Bath Milk for Cold Winter Days
They say that the secret to Cleopatra's proverbial beauty lay in her daily donkey milk baths. It would have taken the milk of 700 donkeys to fill her tub. *Flashforward* to 2020: you're offered the chance to swap animal milk for a plant-based version: oat milk!
