{Last-Minute Valentine’s Day Gifts}
Give or get a massage
Nothing says Valentine’s Day like a sensual massage oil. Province Apothecary’s Lover’s Oil ($32) that includes 10 essential oils, blended together into a moisturizing mix that feels great on the skin. This massage oil can be a great way to get closer to your valentine.
Smell your best
If aromatherapy is more your valentine’s speed, you can pick up any Province Apothecary’s rollerball perfumes ($46). What I love about these perfumes are that they’re bottled in Toronto, cruelty-free and vegan, so you know you’re supporting local business and keeping the environment intact while giving the gift of scent to your loved one. Personally, I like using these not just on my skin, but also in my dresser, so my clothes can smell sweet all day.
Get dirty…while you get clean
You may not have heard about this brand yet, but Basd Body Care is definitely one that you should keep on your radar. Their Valentine’s Day combo pack ($30) has everything you need to prepare for a romantic evening. Starting with the coffee body scrub ($19.99), you and your valentine can strip down, scrub up, and get dirty. The organic coffee grounds help get rid of dead skin cells and reduces puffiness while almond oil keeps your skin hydrated and soft. The body scrub comes in two scents: indulgent crème brûlée and invigorating mint. Follow this up with a sudsy body wash ($15.99)and one of their body lotions ($24.99) and you’ll be smelling sweet or refreshing…whichever floats your boat! You can enjoy applying each product on yourself…or have someone give you a hand 😉 The bonus with using anything from Basd is that all of their products have a ThinkDirty score of zero, which means you don’t need to worry about carcinogens, toxins, or allergens. Between the two scents, I personally love crème brûlée, but that’s because I have a sweet tooth, even in the shower.
Treat yourself
Valentine’s Day isn’t always about showing someone else you love them – it can also be about loving yourself. Sometimes, the best way to show some self-love is by pampering yourself with an at-home spa. After a quick trip to your local drugstore, you can treat yourself to some last-minute valentine’s day gifts in no time!
Try a sheet mask by Garnier to give your skin a relaxing night. You can choose from one of their three Moisture Bomb sheet masks: a glow-boosting mask with sakura flower extract, a purifying mask with charcoal and hyaluronic acid, or an anti-fatigue mask with calming lavender. While you have a mask on your face, why not apply a mask on your hair, too? After hydrating your skin, you can apply a soothing rose water-based facial mist or paraben-free balm and feel refreshed.
