Body

Honey Wrap with Coconut Oil

 

 

 

 

Inspired

by Organic Body Care by Stephanie Tourles (Storey Publishing, 2007).

Honey and coconut oil have both

long been used to moisturize the skin. Combine them with this method and

you have a super luscious body butter that will leave your skin soft as a

cloud. Consider this body

honey a Valentine to yourself, or try it on your partner for a special

at-home Valentine’s Day surprise.

Ruby Red

Romantic Herb Tea

 

 

 

 

Adapted

from Organic Body Care by Stephanie Tourles (Storey Publishing,

2007).

There is only so much champagne

one can drink on Valentine’s Day, but you can indulge in this bright,

festive tea all night. And

not only is this ruby red hibiscus tea wonderfully romantic, but hibiscus

is a great source of potent antioxidants. Romance and heart-health in

one shot!

Rose

Petal Beads

 

 

 

 

Inspired

by Essence and Alchemy: A Natural History of Perfume by Mandy Aftel

(Gibbs-Smith, 2001).

There is something so beautifully

wholesome and rich about this project, taking rose petals and concentrating

their loveliness into hand-worked beads. The end result is fragrant beads

you can string and use for adornment, prayer or meditation. Rose petal beads would make a

dazzling Valentine’s Day present, and is a fantastic way to reuse the

petals from roses you receive.

A Note From Annie

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

02/06/08

It seems

that all concerns of body, mind and spirit meet at the heart. So with

February being American Heart Health Month and holding Valentine's Day we

thought it fitting for Care2 to touch your hearts with Paths to a Healthy Heart—guidance

to help you meditate on love and your heart from Deepak Chopra, make sure

you are current with the most cutting edge tests for a healthy heart, fight

stress, and more. Celebrate with those you love by sending a free Care2 Valentine's Day

eCards. And send a Valentine to the Earth with our guide on how to Green Your Valentine's Day.
