3 Ways to Self-Love this Valentine’s Day

Whether you have a significant other or not, there’s plenty of reason to celebrate yourself this Valentine’s Day!

The love we have for ourselves is the strongest love of all — it guides us through life with confidence, gives us the power to build (and respect) boundaries, and elevates us through our passions and goals.

Once you welcome self-love into your life, it will be hard to go-on without it. So, this Valentine’s Day (and every day after that), give yourself the abundance you deserve through one (or all) of these three ways to self-love.

1. Oh, for the love of face masks 

This is an obvious one. What better way to self-love than to take care of your skin?!

There’s a certain feeling of lathering on a face mask, preferably with a glass of vino and a good movie. Going that extra step to give your face the nutrients it needs is an investment that will only deliver positive results.

To get the most out of your skincare routine, it’s recommended to do two or three face masks every week, as well as exfoliate. This is the kind of self-love that will work wonders for your skin, giving you the confidence you need to take on the world!

We’re huge fans of face masks, which is why we offer two amazing products:

• Earth Fruit Mask — an all natural Kaolin and Rhassoul clay face mask that pulls toxins away and leaves the skin amazingly healed.
• Wildflower Grains — a plant-based face mask packed with botanicals and exfoliants to gently cleanse and moisturize skin. 
• The best part? Just add a scoop of grains into a small bowl and mix it with whatever base you’d like— avocado, aloe, yogurt, banana, citrus, or water!

You can’t go wrong with either of these beloved Blue Orchid Collection originals. But, if you want to get a little creative, then do a DIY at-home face mask!

2. Bathe in self-love 

Nothing says self-love like giving yourself the space to relax in the warm and soothing waters of a bath. But, since this is Valentine’s-Day-Self-Love, we recommend making a ritual around this otherwise normal practice.

Create the perfect ambiance by drawing yourself a bath, diffusing your favorite essential oils, lighting some candles, dimming the lights and playing relaxing music. Before you hop in the tub, throw in our Himilayn Bath Soak to help nourish the soul and uplift your mood. Don’t forget to keep a book and some wine within reach!

Psst...want a little more out of your bath? Our Clay Bath Salts Kit comes with Himilayn Bath Soak and Coconut Bath Soak, providing even more nourishment for your body and soul. 

3. Smudge out the negativity

Perfect for those who just need a moment to reset, smudging your space can help rid those negative energies you’ve been holding onto. And, honestly, sometimes that’s the only self-love we really need!

Our Self-Love Kit comes with everything you need to reset your space and welcome abundance into your life. Handcrafted with the intention of self-nourishment, the Self-Love Kit includes a smudge stick made of dried herbs and flowers and an Abalone shell, plus some amazing skincare essentials!
