HOME:
Earth Friendly Products.
We love the Lavender hand soap ($3.49) from Earth Friendly Products and she will too. It is a gentle hand soap with a wonderful smell of Provence Lavender.
It will not dry her hands and delight her senses. This soap is coconut derived and all natural. No dyes or phosphates, chlorine, and petroleum ingredients.
Aquasana:
Aquasana Shower Filter ($99). This filter includes a dual stage filtration and reduces volatile chemicals. It will promote softer skin and healthier hair. As Chlorine strips skin and hair of its natural oils. Chlorine is found in the tap water we use every day. This filter is a great addition in your home if you have kids. Children are susceptible to breathing disorders and skin conditions such as asthma and eczema, which can be exacerbated by the chlorine in bath and shower water.
Valentine’s is not complete without the perfect wine:
Give your sweetheart the unexpected from sustainable winery R&B Cellars‘ new hot Zinfandel based red-blend: The Improviser. It is sensual, voluptuous, romanesque, a love potion.

From all of us Happy Valentine’s Day!
