It’s been a rough year: the economy’s in bad shape, scammers are using kittens to pull on your heart strings, Valentine’s Day is coming up.  But whether or not you’ll have a Valentine this year, there’s no time like the present to take a minute and do something nice and relaxing for yourself.  Enter Shea Terra Organics and their Pomegranate & Chocolate Love Kit.

Complete with Pink Guava Pomegranate Silk & Shea Body Shower Elixir, Body Lotion, and Dead Sea Salt Shea Body Scrub, your skin will love you. All three are made with shea butter, include organic ingredients, are paraben free, and are 99 to 100% natural.

And to make you feel ever warmer and fuzzier, Shea Terra Organics works with NGOs to support self empowerment and sustainability projects in Africa: their honey, propolis, and beeswax comes from a cooperative in Uganda; Shea Terra Organics even founded the Ethiopian Goat Project to provide goats, grain, and goat care training to Ethiopian families.

Not only is the Love Kit pink to give you a little V-Day cheer, it even comes with fair trade chocolate hearts.  And of course, there’s no need to feel excluded if you DO have a Valentine.  You know the saying: “Save water, shower together.”
