Hey there! 💓
Aaaah, Valentine's Day, a day full of love, roses, the sweet scent of romance lingering in the air and a cherub with a bow and arrow hitting unsuspecting people with its love spell. 💘 As we are celebrating this cherished holiday, I can't help but marvel at the fascinating history behind it. Did you know that Valentine’s Day has roots tracing back to the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia? The Romans celebrate the arrival of spring every year between February 13 and 15. The traditions they did back then leaves one to be desired in this modern day and age as it involves sacrifices 🙈 and whipping 🙈🙈---i think I’ll pass. 😬
In 1415, amidst the confines of the Tower of London, Charles, Duke of Orleans, penned a poem to his beloved, and that MAY started the tradition of giving gift cards on Valentine’s Day? 💌 You know, no one’s sure, really. 😆 But uber romantic, am I right? 😍 And of course, another Valentine’s treat, a box of chocolate which journeyed to Europe from North America, courtesy of Spanish explorers in the 17th century, swiftly established it as Europe’s favored holiday indulgence. 🍫
But the greatest tradition of them all is giving flowers on Valentine’s Day as it’s centuries old, with the rose 🌹—beloved by Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love—emerging as the quintessential symbol of the day. Roses, epitomizing deep emotions, are exchanged by lovers to express their undying affection and everlasting love. Yiiiiie, kilig. 😆💞
Speaking of roses, there's something truly special I want to share with you this Valentine's Day: 🌹Oleia Rose Oil🌹. Infused with authentic Bulgarian Rose Essential Oil, this luxurious elixir is a true ode to love and self-care. Not only does it evoke the elegance of prestigious perfumes, but it also works wonders for your skin. With its antibacterial, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties, Oleia Rose Oil moisturizes, refines texture, and revitalizes stressed skin, leaving you with a radiant glow just in time for the most romantic day of the year and that most awaited dinner date. Ifykwim 😉 (And between you and me, the folks at Oleia use the same oil used by Louis Vuitton and other luxe perfumers 🤭—so this is really 💎premium💎 stuff, the best of the best for Oleia customers)
So, as we exchange tokens of affection and appreciation on Valentine’s Day, let us not forget the significance behind each gesture. 💞 Whether it's a bottle of Oleia Rose Oil with a handwritten love letter, a bouquet of Oleia Rose Oil with roses, or a heart-shaped box filled with Oleia Rose Oil and chocolates 😜, these timeless symbols serve as reminders of the enduring power of love. And so, my dear reader, as we celebrate love in all its forms, let us also embrace the beauty of self-love and self-care, by what? You guessed it. Grabbing a bottle of 🌹Oleia Rose Oil🌹and just bask in its splendor and oh so amazing scent while combating our aches and pains in between. 😊 (Disclaimer: not to be used on the aches of a broken heart, labyu singles, apir! 😜💝) Show me your bottle and I’ll show you mine? ‘Til next time! 💋
