“Self-care” is a term you hear all the time, but how do you start? No, you don’t have to be on a Caribbean cruise, swanning around in maribou to start giving yourself or any of your loved ones some TLC. As a matter of fact, here are some Valentine’s Day ideas for you or a loved one that aren’t risque’ or questionably appropriate. I was happy to be hosted to experience them!
Baebody is a line that has all kinds of wellness products that work to make you more gorgeous, both inside and out. They also contribute to a wide range of charitable causes. Their extra-strength Collagen Gummies have an orange-peach flavor and are tender. Collagen helps the structure of your skin, hair and nails. I was wondering if I’d notice a difference after a couple of weeks when I found myself constantly filing my nails! No longer the texture of dried out gelatin. Fantastic.
So many people go for fillers and Botox, when I think they oughta be focusing on their teeth. I’ve sunk some coin into my teeth over the years and I look at everybody else’s. Venus Visage makes a whitening pen that actually works. Just click it up and paint your teeth. Don’t eat or drink for 30 minutes. It will help whiten natural teeth and prevent your dental work from staining. So, I have to wear a night retainer and I use the whitening pen just before putting on the retainer. I feel this makes for an extra good treatment!
Tocca is an elegant fragrance house made in the USA, but with Old-World European esthetics. I first discovered the line at a chic, no-longer in business specialty store. When I was looking around to see how they distinguished themselves, I saw the Tocca display, along with other glamorous, luxury goods. Cleopatra is super feminine. To my nose, I experienced soft, white florals like lily of the valley, a touch of fruit and a little powder. I know, with that name, you could mistakenly think the scent is a big, blowsy 1980’s scent, but it’s now. Cleopatra was a young lady when she lured the most powerful men in the world to her side. This is how they describe it:
“Cleopatra is a highly seductive scent that captures the hearts and minds of all who experience her refined power. Mysterious white jasmine, patchouli and vanilla musk come crowned with shimmering grapefruit.”
