Galentine’s Day is almost here – a day to celebrate with your gal pals on the day before Valentine’s Day.  It’s a day when best friends celebrate their female friendships every February 13th!  It’s an unofficial holiday where you may want to have a Galentine’s Day celebration which includes sweet treats and Galentine’s day gifts.  Take a look at my list below at how you can celebrate this special day with party ideas, gift ideas, and the true love that exists between best girlfriends!

Safa Rose Body Oil:

Formulated with 100% pure plant extracts and phytonutrients, Safa Body uses an organic blend of superfood oils that are cold-pressed and unrefined to deliver firm, smooth, glowing skin, while revitalizing the skin barrier. Dried organic petals are infused within the oil, with natural fragrances that promote energy and vitality, soothe the mind, and uplift the mood. A blend of Moroccan Argan, Sweet Almond, Vitamin E, & Apricot Oil hydrate and moisturize the skin while evening the skin tone and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Safa Oils also improves scalp health and promotes hair growth for strong, soft, shiny hair.

My Experience:  When I opened the bottle and took a deep inhale, my eyes closed and I was drifted away into a summer-time paradise of roses!  That may sound dramatic – but this was seriously how I responded.  Every spring when our lilac bushes bloom, I do the same inhale and it’s instant aroma therapy.  Not only does this oil smell amazing – the oil soaks right into dry skin and it makes you feel so special and pampered!  I put some oil into my girls hair too!  I love that this is so luxurious both in scent and texture, but is an affordable organic rose oil!

Yum Cha Tea Company:

Home to over 250 tea varieties, Yum Cha Tea Company is at the forefront of holistic wellness with its wide assortment of delicious offerings. They encourage tea lovers to create a tea experience that caters to overall wellness and comfort, boosting immune systems, and mental and physical health and reducing oxidative stress.

I was able to get samples of the Millions of Peaches and the Rooibos Coconut Chai.  The rooibos tea contains ginger root, cinnamon, shredded coconut, and vanilla. This is a very light and refreshing herbal chai with a nice coconut kick. Add black tea for a stronger flavor.  Because this is loose-leaf tea with higher quality ingredients than the chai tea I buy in tea bags from the grocery store, this one for sure wins as the best flavor.  The prices are very reasonable for a teaser to try one of their unique flavors today!

iTeaWorld:

Indulge in the diverse world of our Oolong Tea Sampler – a delightful assortment of four distinct flavors. Start your day with the refreshing tea, reminiscent of sun-kissed orchards, creating a perfect morning ritual. Ideal for any occasion, this thoughtful gift invites you to share moments of warmth and flavor with friends and family, brewing memories that last a lifetime.

I’ve never studied or tried Oolong tea before (and I’ve had a lot of tea in my life!)  This sampler opened up a whole new world to try the different flavors and caffiene levels.  Some say Oolong tea connoisseurs learn the flaors and steeping time just like training your pallette for fine wine tasting.  The health benefits for Oolong tea include it being filled with antioidents, aids weight loss, improves sleep, supports the immune system and decreases risk of heart disease.  (list taken from here.)  You won’t regret trying this sampler!  It’s also a great gift to give to your tea loving friends!
