So Valentine's Day means to me - an evening at home. I worked in a flower shop for a few years and it put the holiday into perspective for me (yes, that is me... a long time ago... my Mom surprised me, thus the stupid look on my face). Poor guys (and I say guys here, because the demographic was skewed that way, not because I am stereotyping, it was just that way at Larry's Market in Oaktree on Valentine's Day), frantically looking for some flowers for their date (see there I am not assuming
male or female, just so you know that I don't stereotype). Flowers on V-Day are...well, how do I put this delicately... over-priced and not always the highest quality. That is not to say that you can't find good quality flowers on V-Day, but if they are reasonably priced someone is loosing money (flowers are purchased fresh from the wholesalers weekly if not daily, so the prices change as often - therefore they are always inflated the week of Feb. 14). Anyway, I always offered to work V-Day because I a) didn't have a date and b) felt sorry for the poor souls that were shopping - oh and c) I love chaos. Anyway, I digress...

Back to being at home. What better way to spend an evening at home, but to take a warm bath with aromatherapy bath salts in the claw foot bath tub that you love? And what better bath products to use, than locally made Sweet Petula. Sweet P. is my favorite scent.
