As winter fades, Romania celebrates Dragobete on February 24th—the ancient festival of love, renewal, and the stirring of nature. This day marks the moment when birds begin to mate, streams swell, and the first wildflowers bloom, reminding us that love, like spring, is an awakening. Traditionally, young lovers would gather herbs and flowers, believing their bond would grow strong like the rising sap in the trees.

Spring’s earliest plants—violets, hawthorn flowers, rosehips, thyme, and linden blossoms—carry the energy of love, passion, and renewal, nurturing both heart and skin. Whether through a tea, a walk in nature, or a moment of self-care, Dragobete invites us to celebrate love in all its forms, in harmony with the rhythms of the Earth. 🌿❤️

Bergamot: A Winter Skincare Treasure

Bergamot, the golden citrus of Calabria, is a perfect ally for winter skincare. Its hydrating, soothing, and brightening properties protect and rejuvenate skin during the harshest months. With its uplifting aroma and natural healing benefits, bergamot not only cares for your skin but also lifts your spirits.

Did you know it takes up to 15 years for a bergamot tree to bear fruit? This precious process makes its gifts even more special. Every year, I travel to Calabria, Italy, to personally harvest bergamot peels for my infusions, ensuring the highest quality for our Winter Botanical Cream.

Infused with love and devotion, this cream delivers nourishment and radiance, connecting you to the timeless beauty of nature. Let bergamot transform your winter skincare ritual.
