A Green Kiss Valentine's Day Gift Guide!

"How you love yourself teaches others how to love you.". 

How true is THAT girls?! And, as each one of GK's team members gains more and more life experience, this statement only gains more clarity and importance to each of us.

Our Valentine's gift guide was created with this statement at the forefront of our minds. Valentine's Day is a date to recognize the importance of LOVE, and regardless if you are single or taken, that includes self care and love to yourself! 

Showing love through actions or gifts, to the people in your life who you adore, says "I'm thinking of you". So if you are compiling a list of people to show appreciation and love to this February, just make sure you're on there too!

Here are our top gift ideas for a Valentine's Day dedicated to healthy living and healthy beauty for others, and self love for you! 

1. Flora Candle by Woodlot: Scents of lavender, bergamot, patchouli, and cedarwood make this candle a lovely addition to a quiet bath time. The formula is completely petroleum free, GMO and phthalate free while also being poured with love in Vancouver. A great gift for personal self care time, or any loved one.

2. Indie Lee Moisturizing Oil: This jojoba based moisturizing oil is seriously multi-purpose! Use it to moisturize hair and body, for shaving, in a bath or even as a luxurious massage oil. Lavender and chamomile aromas make it seriously soothing and calming as well.

3. 100% Pure Body Butter: Think of this body butter as a whipped and creamy cloud that intensely moisturizes the skin with natural plant butters & oils. Smell sweet and be smooth as butta with this enriched cream full of vitamins, antioxidants and anti-aging nutrients to keep skin healthy and nourished. Team GK is OBSESSED with this Vanilla scent (it smells like a fresh vanilla cupcake) but there are many others to choose from too! 

4. Lux et Terra Candle: These heavenly candles from Lux et Terra are a beautiful addition to any space needing a soft glow and some added warmth.  Completely petroleum, soy and GMO free these candles make a lovely gift as they come with the cutest set of matches and gift pouch as well.

5. Amour Soap by Woodlot: This has got to be one of our favourite picks for Valentine's Day! It's budget friendly, it's little and cute, it works for both genders, AND it's called 'Amour'!!?. Seriously best Vday option ever! It's the perfect little 'pick me up' token of love to gift to friends, family, or yourself!

With a rose and black pepper scent this beauty is the perfect mix of sweet n spicy. 

6. Josh Rosebrook's Cacao Mask: Now this is the kind of chocolate we can get behind for a little Valentines Day treat...and it's guilt free too. Cacao, known for aiding in collagen repair, works with plant and herbal infusions to also tone, firm and exfoliate the skin while keeping it hydrated.
