Woodside Holistic’s V Day Edit
I want to celebrate each and every one of you on this weird and sexy day! As a single lady, I've always had to think of ways to treat myself on valentines day, whether it may be adorning myself in a new set of sexy lingerie + warm oil massage, lighting candles, taking a long, steamy bath, sipping on some non-alcoholic vino and putting my vibrator to good use. Yes, vibrators are absolutely part of my self-care practice and I highly recommend you add to yours as well! All of these self-care rituals benefit my skin as well as my love for….well, me! Here’s a little edit of my go-to’s for V day self-care.
DAME PRODUCTS (COM)
My go-to vibrator for all the pleasures. This wand is a perfect choice for a first pleasure device because it is intuitive to use, has a low-intensity vibration setting to introduce you to the rumbly-vibration sensation but will also please even the most experienced vibe users who are looking for more intense external stimulation on its higher intensity-settings. This wand can comfortably be used solo or with a partner.
PROVINCE APOTHECARY SEX OIL
I love that this lube is unscented and made from organic plant materials without any additions of fragrance or toxic ingredients. It’s soft and smooth on my body and the perfect item to take into bed with or without a partner.
FORTNIGHT LINGERIE
One of my favourite things to do on Valentine's day is to slip into a new lingerie set. I am a sucker for a sexy set of lingerie! With the change in my actual body shape (as I’m now post-pregnancy and post-breastfeeding) I’ve had to make an appointment for an online fitting consultation which Fortnight provides. So if you’re feeling like you don’t know your size of fit you can always get some extra help with the ladies from Fortnight.
APPRENTI ORGANIK CANDLES
f there is one thing you can do to set the mood it’s light some gorgeous candles! There is something so ancient and spiritual about lighting candles. Apprenti Organik candles are my go-to right now as the scents are spot on and not too overbearing. I love the earthy cannabis and Sandalwood candles especially. Just remember to blow them out once you are done! I made that mistake once and I won’t ever make it again ;)
TEMPO CHOCOLATE
Not to get too cliche here but who doesn’t love chocolate on V day? Well, I like on any day but I especially like to indulge on valentines day and potentially may go a little overboard! In any case, if you love chocolate too then you will never regret getting yourself and or a special someone in your life Chef Victoria’s homemade chocolate. She’s trained as a professional chocolatier and trust me….It’s pure goddess goodness.
WILDWOOD
There is nothing better than putting a mask on while sitting in the bathtub listening to my fav RnB playlist. (Vibrator anyone?) This mask is deeply nourishing and nutritive soft facial mask of hydrating, antioxidant, enzymatic and anti-bacterial Raw Blossom Honey, with Burdock and Licorice Roots, wild-harvested Willow Bark, Blue Tansy, Lavender, and healing glacial clays to help draw impurities, tone, replenish and plump skin to reveal a radiant and glowing complexion. It truly enhances your skin and leaves it feeling and looking better than ever.
EROMOSA HERBALS
I love all of Danielle’s herbal potions, like I’m obsessed! She’s an amazing local herbalist and holds so much knowledge when it comes to medicine making, foraging, gardening, creating. She even hosts online events where she shares her passion for community herbalism which I am a huge fan of too. Her tinctures are powerful and I use them on the daily. I love the Tusli, Lavender, Rose Elixir for everyday use as it refreshes the spirit and inspires the senses! Add it to your water, herbal tea and your bath or facial steam!
ACID LEAGUE
If you are like me and don’t drink alcohol and are looking for some delicious alternatives I suggest you look into acid league wines. They are complex, full-bodied beverages that are like nothing I've ever tasted before! A real game-changer in the non-alcoholic beverage community!
