Valentine's Day is just a couple of days away, and this show is about the holiday from a woman's perspective, whether you are in a relationship or not. I've been married for almost 30 years, and I want to put the holiday into perspective. My friends and I discuss the unrealistic expectations set by society and the impact they can have on mental health.

The greeting card industry created Valentine's Day as a marketing ploy and its history, including the concept of aphrodisiacs. Brenda's guest mentions that she creates boundaries for herself and celebrates the holiday in a more meaningful and personal way, with her family and in a cozy manner.

The show also gets into the topic of aphrodisiacs and the concept of herbal actions related to aphrodisiacs. I share different cultures, including the Greeks and the Chinese, who have documented their beliefs in aphrodisiacs and the use of herbal remedies.

How I Use Farm to Bath Skincare Products

After she was born, we discovered she was allergic to commercial soap and cleaning products, and so my journey in making my products began.

My journey into making my skincare products wasn't something I had planned. It was a necessity. Shortly after my daughter was born, we learned she suffered a stroke while I was carrying her. And no one knew it! After she was born, we discovered she was allergic to commercial soap and cleaning products, and so my journey in making my products began.

Now, 25 years later, I've turned my passion into a business called Farm to Bath. I've created a free Skincare Checklist using the products in the video. Click on the link below to download.
