With Valentine’s Day around the corner, husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, and partnerships in between will search for opportunities to help boost their romantic desires. There are many ways to help create an intimate spark between lovers, like wearing fragrances that can boost your mood, relieve stress, and increase connection, while massage oils help your partner unwind after a long day.
Angela Enderle runs a small business through Young Living, which utilizes essential oils for a variety of soothing qualities. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, she hosted three Love & Intimacy classes on January 27, 29, and 31, which focused on how essential oils could help spark romance and connection for the holiday.
Enderle has been an avid user of essential oils for nearly a decade and has hosted similar classes no matter where her family resides, whether it be California, New Mexico, or as recently as St Clair in 2020. Her events were highlighted in a winter edition of the Journal where she focused on the wellness properties essential oils contain. She was excited to give a more private and intimate course to local housewives wanting to “bring some fire to their marriage.” According to her Facebook post, “I try to set up an event every month, and parents get more and more interested; I even have had repeat attenders. It gives parents a chance to be social with friends and possibly meet some new people in town.”
For the Valentine’s Day event, Enderle admitted that considering the private nature of the event, she advised there could be a more one-on-one consultation, “It’s a little more private, but anyone was welcome to attend this event just to learn more about it. Many people don’t know they can use essential oils for intimacy and connection.” The class would consist of Enderle discussing the benefits of the essential oils provided in the class, a demonstration on making massage oils with jasmine and black pepper, and a perfume roller.
Enderle welcomed a handful of guests and vouched for the products that would be part of the take-home bags but noted that she carefully chose the oils so there would be a “balance between what people would like for intimacy and these are oils I’ve used for years and have really enjoyed them” while adding a final punctuation of “and so does my husband.”
Enderle went on to detail how intimacy and passion in a marriage or relationship can stall out due to stress, feelings of anxiety or resentment, exhaustion, hormones, and other factors that have an effect on intimacy and connection. She advised a few natural ways to help fight these stressors: Drink more water, add more greens to your diet, get more sleep, exercise regularly, and much more. Enderle emphasized that making a few of these changes would help give a positive boost to their energy and overall health, “having a healthy body and mood helps us be more intimate with our partners.”
At this point, Enderle passed out several signature scents that would boost a variety of traits, from nutmeg offering adrenal support, lemongrass to help bring peace and calm, and even a simple orange scent that would help with blood flow and circulation. The attendees appeared to take her words to heart as they shared stories of how essential oils have helped them in many avenues of their lives and look forward to testing them out when it comes to intimacy and connection with their partners.
The group prepared their massage oils and perfume rollers as time began to run out for the class as many of the parents’ children returned from their after-school activities. Enderle thanked all who attended and noted that a class on “Spring Cleaning” with essential oils will be in the works for March and that details would be provided ASAP.
