Valentine’s Day is rooted in pagan partying.  The lover’s holiday traces it roots to Roman Festivals where men stripped naked, grabbed whips and spanked young maidens in hopes of increasing their fertility.

The annual pagan celebration, called Lupercalia, was held every year on February 15 and remained wildly popular well into the fifth century A.D.—at least 150 years after Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire.

“It is clearly a very popular thing, even in an environment where the [ancient] Christians are trying to close it down,” Lenski said. “So there’s reason to think that the Christians might instead have said, OK, we’ll just call this a Christian festival.”

The church pegged the festival to the legend of St. Valentine.

According to the story, in the third century A.D. Roman Emperor Claudius II, seeking to bolster his army, forbade young men to marry. Valentine, it is said, flouted the ban, performing marriages in secret.

For his defiance, Valentine was executed in A.D. 270—on February 14, the story goes. 

For this Valentine’s Day we can offer your significant other several natural body and bath products.  Our elegant handmade decorator soaps shaped in hearts comes gift packaged in a gold box with a special saying, “Hearts for You.”

Made from our Shea Butter formula full of all kinds of good oils for your skin, it is a gift one would be welcomed to receive.  Add in some elegant bath salts, or massage oil and you can have a beautiful gift set custom made for your Valentine’s Day gift.  It is never too late.  We can still ship in time for Valentine’s Day delivery.  Please visit our online store today, you will be glad your did and your skin will too !

We have so much fun here helping brides make their special dream day come true.  One bride chose our natural handmade soap shaped like an orchid flower.  Fragranced in Orange Mango, the decorative soap looked elegant in lime green against the backdrop of her orange napkins and chocolate brown table clothes.  Beautiful, and stunning were her guests comments.

Another bride chose to have a personalized saying on a private label tag with her wedding colors.  She decided on hot pink grosgrain ribbon and her  private label had a simple note to her guests in turquoise blue ink.  Inside the large cello bag she chose to have an assortment of the bath size seashells available; the nautilus, chamber nautilus and starfish with natural raffia and small seashells inside the packaging.

Custom gift packaged these handmade natural soaps using our Shea Butter formula were made in white so they would pop on her turquoise colored table cloths.  Fragranced in Essence del Mar, they truly were a special party favor for the guests, reminding them of the summer sunset wedding at the ocean’s edge.
