If you ask me what the perfect Valentine’s Day entails, it would be TWO words

SPA DAY

Whether I’m going to a day spa or spending the day at home in the bathroom indulging in some skin, hair, and body care, I’m 100% in. You can keep your fancy dinner at a restaurant, I’d rather spend the day relaxing and taking care with some much-needed self-care. I love to invite a friend (or my sister-in-law) over and have that gal-pal time.

He can join me if he wants (I have enough masks and men’s grooming aids so that he can join me), as long as the television is off, the candles are lit and there is soft (spa) music playing quietly in the background.

Here is a list of great spa day MUST HAVES for your Valentine/Galentine’s Day spa experience.

Start your spa day with a drink!

“Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax.”

Ô DE ROSé

This beautiful pale-pink color blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Viognier is a refreshing and well-balanced rosé. It offers a gorgeous mix of upfront citrus, bright spring flowers, and red fruit aromas that are framed by hints of crisp mouthwatering saline notes, finishing snappy and fresh. It’s a great galantine, summer, or spa day wine to celebrate yourself.

Ô DE ROSé’s vineyards are rooted in the foothills of the Massif Central, between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean Sea, so pour yourself a glass and dream of the blue sea and France. This patchwork of climates and terroirs is the secret. behind Ô: the grapes are slowly matured in perfect weather conditions and produce a crisp and elegantly balanced wine.

This blushing wine is wonderful as an aperitif, with Mediterranean food, seafood, goat cheese or just soaking in the tub with a mask on your face and some chocolates by your side.

C’est la Vie Syrah-Grenache Rosé

Photo: C’est la Vie! Wine[/caption]

The wines in the C’est La Vie range are by nature suited to pleasant shared moments spent relaxing and enjoying the company of those you love…perfect for Valentine’s Day. The fun, offbeat “hand-drawn” sketched graphics decorate these audacious, mostly two-varietal wines, and if you love a bit of whimsy, the mix of Syrah and Grenache gives you JUST that.

C’Eest La Vie’s strength lies in the originality of its blends. Colorful and creative this wine makes it’s own rules…just like YOU.

I wouldn’t THINK of going to sleep at night if I didn’t have my pillow covered in Celestial Silk, and now I also trust them for making sure that I get the very best in self-care today (and every day). So pull back your hair and get rolling with the Celestial Silk Spa Headband and Gemstone Face Roller Gift Set Bundle. It makes a great gift for women who could use a little pampering (sound like anyone you know?).

This self-care gift makes self-care special. Silk and crystals turn an at-home spa session into a luxurious experience.

Pampering silk feels so luxurious at the end of the day. The soft, smooth silk looks great and it feels sublime, all while gently holding hair away from the face. Filled with high-grade mulberry silk floss, for that extra touch of elegance, our silk spa headband has a soft cushion for extra comfort.

And with an adjustable Velcro strap, this spa headband can be a perfect fit for anyone.

Celestial Silk face rollers are expertly handcrafted with genuine, authentic gemstones. With dual sides, the face roller can easily target all delicate facial skin. Face rollers help ease tension and help skin feel balanced and refreshed.

Ladson’s Just Soap

Photo: Ladson’s[/caption]

When faced with an array of scents, colors, and whatever, I tend to go directly to the simplest version possible, especially when it comes to my bath time. That’s why as soon as I learned that Ladson’s had a soap called — JUST SOAP, I had to hop in the tub and give it a lather. I love great artisanal soap. For me, it feels 10x more luxurious than any fancy department store soap as it is made with love. Through meticulously sourced, artisan-crafted skin care, Ladson’s is committed to enriching you with the strength and well-being to feel your best, and that’s EXACTLY how I want to feel.

Just Soap is a beautifully simple soap that can be used for the face, body, and hair. Its only ingredients are coconut oil, olive oil, and salt. This bar is unscented and pure. Great for sensitive skin, babies, and people who don’t like heavily perfumed body care.

Men are hard to buy for, but these grooming bundles based upon the brand’s signature scents can make it simple and elevated. My husband tends to find ONE brand and stick with it (he still wears the same button-down collar shirts as he did in high school and he’s 70 years old). He absolutely loves 18.21 Grooming Products and when he saw that the box arrived he immediately asked “Is that for me?”

Cleverly disguised as a gentlemen’s book of good grooming, this volume pays homage to the Prohibition-era trend of stashing booze or valuables away in one’s library.

Our all-in-one, luxury Man Made Wash does the work of three products
Fortified shampoo, sumptuous condition, and addictively great-smelling body wash gently cleanses and locks in moisture
Our Beard, Hair & Skin Oil is a lightweight, multitasking oil blend to lock in healthy hydration
