Yes, its that famous time of year that stores capitalize on, Valentine’s Day. The stores are flooded with reds and pinks, some captioned with lovely sayings and quotes to show our undying love for our lovers. I have always thought this “holiday” to be a bit silly. But, after being married and then with kids, I find that this day has value. In the hecticness of life and the dreary days of February, it calls us out of the fog to be in tune with what matters most, our relationships.

So in honor of this day, I made a lovely “love potion” with essential oils. It’s not a miracle blend that will solve all of life’s problems, but it does add something to the emotions and love hormones to spice things up!

I literally got this idea out of a book about libido and essential oils. Maybe you have heard of it, it is called “Lucy Libido Says: There’s an Oil for THAT.” Yes my friends, its a great book! You should probably order a copy, just sayin’.

Anyway, so in her book, Lucy talks about how awesome cedarwood essential oil is for the bedroom, as well as geranium, lime, and rose.

Unfortunately, I don’t have all of those oils on-hand (yet!), so I had to improvise. Here’s what I came up with!

• Cedarwood: 15 drops
• Envision: 12 drops
• Lime: 10 drop
• Lavender: 5 drops

Blend these with a carrier oil in a 15 mL (0.5 oz) dropper bottler (or double the drops and dilute into a 1 oz bottle). My preference for carrier oil is 100% grapeseed oil. It absorbs into the skin quickly and doesn’t leave a residue feeling. If you’re wanting a massage oil, then use pure virgin olive oil. As for essential oils, I ONLY advise using Young Living oils, as I can attest to their quality and integrity of their purity (going to the farm is a great way to see their integrity in action!)

I used cedarwood because it increases blood flow, hello! That’s generally a good thing, right?! Envision is actually an emotional support blend but it has geranium, ROSE, orange and other lovely oils in it but those are the main ones Lucy mentions in her book. Lime has a high and enticing scent, and it helps create anticipation. Lavender adds a nice all around balanced scent.

Apply to the inner thighs up to, but not directly onto, sensitive areas. All the oils come together to help you feel ready for lights-out, if ya know what I mean. I will say as a disclaimer we are in no way responsible for what happens when the lights go out. Intimate time now can lead to November due dates, just saying.

But in all seriousness, Valentines isn’t about how many roses to buy to show your love, or how fancy the restaurant. It’s about TIME together. Even if it’s not bedroom time *cough cough*. This oil still supports you on an emotional level to connect and bond. Spend quality time with the one you love.
