3 Essential oil Projects to Spice Up Your Valentine's Day

We all have a basic need for love and connection. For many, February 14th is a day to celebrate relationships, whether it’s a special someone, a close friend, or your family. Whether you’re celebrating with a fancy dinner and red roses, a night out on the town, or a rom-com movie night with your best friends, everyone can have fun spicing up Valentine's with some essential oils that suit their personality.

Here are three of my favorite oil-based gifts to make for the people I love at this time of year.

Make these ahead of time to let the oils incorporate and aromas mature.
