Note from Sarah: Hi guys, in honour of Valentine’s Day, I have something truly exciting for you on the blog! Indeed, I bring you another guest post from a person that I truly admire and that truly inspires me through her work. Please meet Bri Braggs from Fertile Alchemy. I first stumbled upon Bri through her beautiful Instagram page (@fertilealchemy), where she shares the most useful potions, elixirs and healthy tips to not only improve your fertility NATURALLY but also to enhance your feminine power and health. Honestly, I am in love with everything Bri creates. That’s why for this very special day, I asked her to share with us some natural aphrodisiacs. And of course, she delivered. Enjoy these DIY Holistic Aphrodisiacs & Love Elixirs :).
Aphrodisiac is a word you hear quite often these days. There are many things on the market that can help boost your libido and spice things up in the bedroom. Being a Holistic Health Coach, I try to find natural remedies for pretty much everything, including boosting my libido. These two recipes are absolutely perfect for Valentine’s Day or any day, and you really don’t even need a partner to enjoy them.
