Make time for yourself or someone you love this Valentine’s Day!
It’s been a crazy day; you’re driving home way after hours on a Friday evening after a long and stressful week. You can’t shake the feeling that you are forgetting something… but your mind is consumed with too many thoughts to remember. You turn on the radio and there it is; it’s Valentine’s Day and you are returning home to your partner empty handed.
Before you stop to pick up a wilting bunch of flowers or some sugary artificial chocolates from your local 24/7 perhaps pause to think of something your partner (and yourself) would really appreciate. Perhaps take the weekend to spend time with each other, to appreciate one another and to have a little fun 😉 Sometimes we may loose track of what’s important in our busy days so let this day serve as a reminder to make time for each other.
Ways to Spoil Your Partner
There are several ways to spoil your partner and yourself without breaking the bank. Instead of booking an overpriced dinner or buying into the commercial hype, why not spend time focusing purely on each other. Get rid of any distractions and indulge in some relaxing activities that make you feel good! Feel the love by doing something you love this Valentine’s day!
Taking a Bath
Taking a warm relaxing bath is an excellent way to calm your nerves at the end of the day. Bathing with your partner can help to reduce stress and increase intimacy. A bath is a great way to reconnect with your partner, indulging in some self-care that you can both enjoy.
Try to set the mood by lighting candles, using essential oils and placing a few rose petals in the tub. If you want to take your experience to the next level, try incorporating a CBD bath bomb. A CBD bath is the ultimate best way to relax together as the CBD will help you relax, ease tense muscles and promote a sense of well-being.
We absolutely love Prana Natural’s bath bombs which are infused with essential oils and CBD. Prana has a variety of bath bombs such as; Relief, sleep, 4 thieves and, our favourite, LOVE which is infused with Rose Geranium essential oil, just a love bomb of relaxation!
The Magic of Touch
Did you know touch can bring you closer together as a couple? Physical intimacy is important for maintaining a long-term healthy relationship.
An excellent way to touch and connect with your partner is by giving each other massages. Massages help to release natural chemicals like oxytocin, also called the ‘love’ hormone. This will lead to increased happiness and calmness and increase feelings of affection and intimacy between partners.
If you are not sure how to go about giving a massage, try to incorporate a massage oil with extra relaxing ingredients. The Prana Naturals massage oil is made up of sweet almond oil and Full spectrum CBD oil. CBD can help to enhance the effects of a massage by helping to alleviate stress and anxiety and stimulating the senses.
If you really want to spoil your partner, you can book them a professional massage at a salon. A few spa’s and salon’s have realised the benefits of a CBD massage and are incorporating this into their practice. Tamryn Currin Massage therapy is one such place that offers a CBD massage. You can reach Tamryn on her Instagram page: tamryncurrinmassage_therapy.
CBD for Sexual Health
Applying CBD topically is a great way to reduce stress and increase endorphins but taking a few CBD drops orally is also fantastic for your sexual health! Research has shown that CBD may help to increase your libido not only that, but CBD helps to increase sensation by increasing blood flow and nerve sensation which provides a pleasurable experience for everybody!
Try taking a few CBD drops with your partner before you plan some special alone time. CBD drops are also help to reduce stress and anxiety which means you have more time to focus on a happy and healthy relationship. Our most popular product that has flown off the shelf is the Nature’s Relief 300mg drops which can be used for a range of other health benefits as well. If you want an extra treat, the Nature’s Relief CBD cookies will provide a sweet treat sensation.
And lastly, try to use Valentines day as a special day to pamper yourself and your loved one. It is not very often that we get a weekend or even an evening to ourselves to completely relax and unwind without any obligations. Is there anything better then slipping into your most comfy pajama’s, applying a face mask and getting cosy in the comfort of your own home. We love the detoxifying effects of the Nature’s Relief Moringa facial Masque with Fulvic and Bentonite clay and this makes a great practical gift for Valentine’s Day.
Whether you choose to celebrate Valentine’s Day or not, we urge you to take the time to focus on what’s important and appreciate and care for yourself and the one you love. At the end of the day, it’s the experiences you share that you remember and not the material items. And time is the greatest gift of all.
