<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/29982038.cms" /> Love is in the air and romance is slowly seeping into our life. If it hasn’t reached you yet, make room for love at your home this Valentine’s Day with these easy decoration ideas. Doing up your home for the Valentine’s Day should be done with flair instead of putting some red rugs here and there and hanging hearts everywhere. It’s all about creating the mood subtly and stylishly, and preparing for those special moments with your special someone in the cosy corners of your abode. Here are a few ideas to do up your <keyword id="2049085" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Love-shack">love shack</keyword>. 
 
Play with lights Lights play an important role in setting up a warm, cosy and loving <keyword id="6366415" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="atmosphere">atmosphere</keyword> at home. Ditch those bright lights and switch on the softer glows to create an intimate and serene ambience. Don’t forget the good old candles; you can even go for the scented ones. <keyword id="551474" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Candle-light">Candle light</keyword> is ideal if setting up a sensual love den is on your mind.

Create a <keyword id="2049091" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Romantic-corner">romantic corner</keyword>, dimly lit with a candle and decked with <keyword id="5823" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Flowers">flowers</keyword>, and let the magic begin. 
 
Flowers can never go wrong If it’s V-Day, you must say it with flowers. But skip those boring vases this Valentine’s Day and place those beautiful blooms in unique ways all over your house. How about putting the petals in water-filled bowls with floating candles adding to the drama? Also, take a break from the ceremonial roses and enjoy the sensuous magic of <keyword id="372474" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="tulips">tulips</keyword>, <keyword id="981225" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Lilies">lilies</keyword> and <keyword id="4218979" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Orchids">orchids</keyword>. If you don’t want to go overboard with flowers, go for single-bud placement rather than showering your beloved with bouquets. 
 
Scent sets the mood Nothing spreads like the aroma. Let the soothing and romantic fragrances fill the air at your love shack. You can easily do it with loads of <keyword id="1444185" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Aromatic-candles">aromatic candles</keyword> and sweet-scented flowers. Burn some essential aromatic oils in a diffuser to create a sensuous ambience. <keyword id="2049098" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ylang-Ylang">Ylang Ylang</keyword> <keyword id="2049099" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Aromatic-oil">aromatic oil</keyword> is said to be a passion booster. 
 
<keyword id="1553619" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="satin-sheets">Satin sheets</keyword> 
Cotton bed covers are, indeed, comforting. But when it comes to having fun in bed, nothing beats the soft and luxurious feel of satin bed sheets. Don’t limit yourself to the traditional red colour; any hue that you love will do the trick. Just imagine the smoothness of satin sheets against your skin and you’ll know what we are talking about. 
 
<keyword id="25282" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="chocolates">Chocolates</keyword> for fun 
Even if you are on a diet, stack up your refrigerator with chocolates. If you are not eating them, you may need those for some midnight fun with your love. 
 
A soothing bath 
Nothing can be more romantic than a soothing and sweet-smelling bath after a tiring day. And it may pave the way for a fun-filled night. So don’t forget to load your bath with bubble baths, body washes and gels in smells that shout pure passion. Keep bathrobes in place and don’t forget to finish the happening bath with a glass or two of your favourite wine. 
 Finally, do remember that decorating for the Valentine’s Day is not about going overboard but providing <keyword id="678332" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Subtle">subtle</keyword> hints!

"I trusted the teachings that I was getting from this multilevel-marketing company. It doesn't matter what brand of essential oil you're using because this can happen with any essential oil."<h2>Haluka was using essential oils up to 7 times a day and developed a rash weeks after starting</h2><div type="image" title="Rash UnWell" height="1146" width="2386" msid="77507205" hostid="261"></div>According to Haluka, the MLM company had said the oils could be used up to seven times a day topically, internally, and in a diffuser (you should never eat essential oils)."My friend had done a ton of research on the company and the oils and she told that they were the of the highest quality, that you could take them internally," she said. "I've never known that you can take essential oils internally, but it was so pure that you could, and I thought, 'Wow, this is a game changer.'"A few weeks into consuming the essential oils, Haluka found a red rash on her forearm. Thinking nothing of it, she put a bit of tea tree oil on it. The next day, the rash was even bigger.Not knowing what to do, Haluka turned to essential-oil-distribution Facebook groups for advice. When she questioned whether the skin irritation could have been caused by the oils, people were quick to defend them."The answers were always, 'No, it can't be the oils,'" Haluka said on the <keyword id="128682" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Netflix">Netflix</keyword> series. "'It's a good thing you have a rash — your body is just detoxing.'"Trusting her peers, Haluka did not initially seek medical attention and instead continued to use the oils. But her rashes just got more inflamed. <h2>'It felt like someone had locked me in a room with fire ants, mosquitoes, wasps, and then poured molten lava on my body'</h2><div type="image" title="(Un)Well" height="1172" width="1563" msid="77507207" hostid="261"></div>Soon, Haluka was covered in red rashes and was so swollen she was unable to bend her limbs. "It felt like someone had locked me in a room with fire ants, mosquitoes, wasps, and then poured molten lava on my body," Haluka said.Haluka's face eventually became covered in boils that leaked fluid, prompting her to stop taking the oils. After going to the doctor to get an allergy test, the doctor confirmed she had allergies to tea tree oil and ylang-ylang."I inundated my body with these chemical constituents that are in the essential oils that became toxic to my body," Haluka said in the series.<h2>There is little research about the long-term impacts of essential oils on the body</h2><div type="image" title="Stacey Haluka boils" height="906" width="1208" msid="77507208" hostid="261"></div><a href="https://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/ss/slideshow-essential-oils">Essential oils are meant</a> to be used topically and in diffusers in small doses, diluted with water, and never ingested, as they can damage your mucus membranes.

He's a former Marine and loves all things efficient, utilitarian, and no-nonsense; I'm more mystical-minded, with a penchant for crystals and incense. We managed to make our conflicting sensibilities work together in every area of the home but one: cleaning sprays and air fresheners.I experimented with making my own essential oil blends to freshen up the house after reading about some of the harmful chemicals that are packed into traditional home cleaning products. But seeing as I'm not a professional perfumer, my DIY attempts, uh, didn't exactly smell great - and my husband didn't let me forget it. He stocked our cleaning cabinet with the usual grocery store suspects instead, and that was that... until I snuck <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JBZDJ3L/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biip_011819_sandoval-aromatics-product-review-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07JBZDJ3L&amp;linkId=158a852eb631910fdf4066dbc07f0211" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sandoval Interior Aromatic sprays</a> into our collection.I had heard about <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JBZDJ3L/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biip_011819_sandoval-aromatics-product-review-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07JBZDJ3L&amp;linkId=158a852eb631910fdf4066dbc07f0211" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Sandoval brand</a> via Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow's online mecca for all things good-for-you, so I knew the formulations would meet my clean and natural standards. And once I laid eyes on the packaging, I knew my husband would be just as drawn to the products. The bottles are sturdy and minimal, well-designed in simple black and white graphics, and void of the "boho-chic" detailing that tends to define most natural products. The scents, blended from natural essential oils, woods, and resins, seemed to be made for us. Free from both the cloying florals of my personal essential oil experiments and that chemical-y smell of traditional cleaners, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JBZDJ3L/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biip_011819_sandoval-aromatics-product-review-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07JBZDJ3L&amp;linkId=158a852eb631910fdf4066dbc07f0211" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sandoval's home fragrances</a> - with soothing names like Peace, Love, and Spirit - became our new go-tos.And that's how I got my logical, right-brained husband hooked on aura-cleansing crystal sprays.Let me explain: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JBZDJ3L/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biip_011819_sandoval-aromatics-product-review-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07JBZDJ3L&amp;linkId=158a852eb631910fdf4066dbc07f0211" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sandoval</a> does not stand on scent alone (although the brand totally could). Each Interior Aromatic Spray is blended with essential oils that are hand-picked for their healing properties, infused with intention, and accented with a rose quartz crystal for extra good vibes. With every spritz, you're not only refreshing your space, you're also "creating intimate, sensory experiences," Michael Carbaugh, <a href="https://www.studiosandoval.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the founder of</a> Sandoval, tells Business Insider. "I think it's important to be considerate and conscious of what we surround ourselves with in our homes and our spaces," he says. "Sandoval products are crafted with natural essential oils, woods, and herbs to create scents that are rooted in both fragrance and experience." And at the heart of the Sandoval experience are the healing properties of each particular aromatic blend.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JBZDJ3L/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biip_011819_sandoval-aromatics-product-review-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07JBZDJ3L&amp;linkId=158a852eb631910fdf4066dbc07f0211" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5c50def82bdd7f62960618b7-1101/l16img2946.jpg" border="0" alt="L16_IMG_2946" data-mce-source="Sandoval" /></a>Sandoval</div></div></div>"After researching loads of oils in the beginning of the development of the collection, I grouped oils based on their properties" - some essential oils promote calm, others stimulate creative energy - "then played with creating balanced blends that had strong properties and also smelled great," Carbaugh explains. This "energy first, scent second" approach has resulted in a lineup of aromatics that cleanse your space and your aura; <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KMCDQLL/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biip_011819_sandoval-aromatics-product-review-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07KMCDQLL&amp;linkId=637f4c15f1eb01eff495ec49ee9b0599" target="_blank" rel="noopener">including Peace</a> ("made with palo santo, sandalwood and frankincense - all of which are great oils for relaxing, focusing, calming, and centering") and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JBZDJ3L/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biip_011819_sandoval-aromatics-product-review-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07JBZDJ3L&amp;linkId=158a852eb631910fdf4066dbc07f0211" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Love</a> ("ylang ylang, jasmine, vetiver, and patchouli have great stimulating and aphrodisiac properties," Carbaugh told us).Every bottle comes complete with a rose quartz crystal inside, which has been cleansed and charged under the moon. "Rose quartz is an all-purpose love crystal, and I wanted to spread the love!" Carbaugh says. There's a practical element, as well: The crystal serves to shake up the oils, blending them together before you spritz.Users can carry Sandoval's signature mystical-meets-sensible approach into their homes, as well. On a practical level, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KMCDQLL/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biip_011819_sandoval-aromatics-product-review-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07KMCDQLL&amp;linkId=637f4c15f1eb01eff495ec49ee9b0599" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the brand's Peace</a> and Love aromatics kill odor-causing bacteria while leaving behind a fresh scent. "Spray in the air in any room, or spray bedding, sofas, drapes, rugs, and dog beds to refresh," Carbaugh advises. The founder also uses the sprays to freshen cashmere sweaters and silk scarves in between dry cleaning, and even suggests keeping a small bottle in your gym bag to tackle workout clothes and yoga mats.While my husband is busy spritzing our curtains and freshening the dog bed, I'll be using Sandoval's crystal-infused energy to call peace into our home - and, ultimately, that mix is exactly what Carbaugh intended. As he says, "I want you to use these natural, practical methods to help you create your best life."<h3><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JBZDJ3L/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biip_011819_sandoval-aromatics-product-review-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07JBZDJ3L&amp;linkId=158a852eb631910fdf4066dbc07f0211" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Buy the Sandoval Love Interior Aromatic Spray for $45 on Amazon</a></h3><h3><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KMCDQLL/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biip_011819_sandoval-aromatics-product-review-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07KMCDQLL&amp;linkId=637f4c15f1eb01eff495ec49ee9b0599" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Buy the Sandoval Peace Interior Aromatic Spray for $45 on Amazon</a></h3><a href="http://e.businessinsider.com/join/ci/insider-picks">Subscribe to our newsletter.</a> Find all the best offers at our <a href="https://coupons.businessinsider.com/">Coupons page</a>.

Instead, the company uses 99% natural ingredients, and while you may think (as I did initially) that this won't make a difference in your deodorant, I can assure you that it does. Not only does the deodorant feel lighter and less pasty than other traditional deodorants I've tried, but it also smells far more natural. My personal hell is a hot summer's day when all I can smell is my own sweat mixed with some artificially sugary scent.<a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1361832&amp;u=1088116&amp;m=89058&amp;urllink=www%2Emymyro%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fcase%2Fflame&amp;afftrack=biipf%5F0618119%5Fmyro%2Ddeodorant%2Dreview" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5cdc889d021b4c0cc7725357-800/myro .jpg" border="0" alt="Myro " data-mce-source="Myro" />Myro</div></div></div></a>Myro's effectiveness comes from sugar-derived antimicrobials that help prevent odor, barley powder and natural cornstarch that absorb sweat, and essential oils that provide delightful fragrances. As it stands, there are five scents available. My personal favorite is Solar Flare, a combination of orange, juniper, sunflower. It's unlike any other deodorant scent I've ever tried (which is usually a powdery or sugary scent named Fresh or Breeze), and is the perfect summer fragrance because it smells so good. I'm also a huge fan of Big Dipper (bergamot, lavender, vetiver), and other scents include Cabin No. 5 (vetiver, patchouli, geranium), Pillow Talk (violet leaf, ylang ylang, wild amyris), and Chill Wave (cucumber, jasmine, spearmint), with the promise of new scents on the way.On the sustainability side, <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1361832&amp;u=1088116&amp;m=89058&amp;urllink=www%2Emymyro%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fcase%2Fflame&amp;afftrack=biipf%5F0618119%5Fmyro%2Ddeodorant%2Dreview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Myro</a> has also given great thought to its fully recyclable packaging and unique pod system. Not only are these clever little cylinders made with 50% less plastic than your standard deodorant container, but they're also travel-friendly and TSA-compliant. To ensure that you're not constantly throwing out these pods either after you've finished the deodorant, the containers are actually refillable. Once you've run out of your deodorant, just order a refill, pop it back into your case, and keep on living your life. And because everything in the 21st century is subscription based, you can also sign up to get <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1361832&amp;u=1088116&amp;m=89058&amp;urllink=www%2Emymyro%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fcase%2Fflame&amp;afftrack=biipf%5F0618119%5Fmyro%2Ddeodorant%2Dreview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quarterly Myro refills</a>. The starter kit will set you back just $10 for your first deodorant pod and refillable case (available in five bright colors), and refills come in packs of three every three months for $30. You can cancel, pause, or switch scents whenever you want, though I can't really see myself bidding adieu to <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1361832&amp;u=1088116&amp;m=89058&amp;urllink=www%2Emymyro%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fcase%2Fflame&amp;afftrack=biipf%5F0618119%5Fmyro%2Ddeodorant%2Dreview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Solar Flare</a> anytime soon.<h3><a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1361832&amp;u=1088116&amp;m=89058&amp;urllink=www%2Emymyro%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fcase%2Fflame&amp;afftrack=biipf%5F0618119%5Fmyro%2Ddeodorant%2Dreview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Get your personalized Myro deodorant starting at $10 here</a> </h3><a href="http://e.businessinsider.com/join/ci/insider-picks">Subscribe to our newsletter.</a> Find all the best offers at our <a href="https://coupons.businessinsider.com/">Coupons page</a>.

The brand also supports sustainable palm oil practices in Asia, Africa, and South America, and all the bottles use at least 25% recycled plastic. For such a big brand, the level of thoughtfulness behind using naturally derived ingredients and practicing sustainability are kind of impressive, which definitely makes me feel good about using its products.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/natural-cleaning-brands" target="_blank" rel="noopener">11 natural cleaning brands that are as effective as traditional brands, but don't use harsh, harmful chemicals</a><a href="http://goto.target.com/c/196318/81938/2092?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.target.com%2Fbp%2Fmrs.%2Bmeyer%27s" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5c70225d2628982d5b54ceb3-1200/mrs meyers soap 2.jpg" border="0" alt="Mrs. Meyer's soap 2" data-mce-source="Facebook/Mrs. Meyer's" />Facebook/Mrs. Meyer's</div></div></div></a>The brand has made body-care products like bar soaps ($4), body washes ($8), and <a href="http://goto.target.com/c/196318/81938/2092?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.target.com%2Fp%2Fmrs-meyer-s-clean-day-lavender-body-lotion-15-5-fl-oz%2F-%2FA-75558458" target="_blank" rel="noopener">body lotions</a> ($8) for years, and this spring, it's launching two new categories - <a href="https://track.flexlinkspro.com/a.ashx?foid=1067927.140887114&amp;foc=2&amp;fot=9999&amp;fos=1&amp;fobs=biip_031919_mrs-meyers-new-products&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.grove.co%2Fcatalog%2Fproduct%2Fbody-scrub%2F%3Fv%3D3560%26attrsrc%3D18%26attrpg%3Dcatalog" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exfoliating body scrubs</a> ($13) and <a href="https://track.flexlinkspro.com/a.ashx?foid=1067927.140887114&amp;foc=2&amp;fot=9999&amp;fos=1&amp;fobs=biip_031919_mrs-meyers-new-products&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.grove.co%2Fcatalog%2Fproduct%2Fhand-balm%2F%3Fv%3D3515" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hand balms</a> ($8) in soothing Lavender and fresh Basil.

"We wanted to deliver that same great clean and great-smelling experience from head to toe."<a href="https://track.flexlinkspro.com/a.ashx?foid=1067927.140887114&amp;foc=2&amp;fot=9999&amp;fos=1&amp;fobs=biip_031919_mrs-meyers-new-products&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.grove.co%2Fcatalog%2Fproduct%2Fbody-scrub%2F%3Fv%3D3560%26attrsrc%3D18%26attrpg%3Dcatalog">The body scrubs</a> are made with sugar to exfoliate and shea butter, coconut, grape seed, and radish seed oils to hydrate - but the packaging is what really won me over. Most scrubs I've used come in a big jar, which can get really annoying to scoop out when your hands are wet or worse, slippery because of the formulas' oils. I've had to bid adieu to many a scrub after dropping them in the shower, but this one comes as a convenient squeeze tube so there's no mess. The sugar crystals are also quite small - about the same size as your regular pantry sugar - so exfoliation feels more gentle and effective compared to using a scrub with large crystal sizes. I use this twice a week and concentrate on rough areas like elbows, knees, and feet before following up with the new balm.<a href="https://track.flexlinkspro.com/a.ashx?foid=1067927.140887114&amp;foc=2&amp;fot=9999&amp;fos=1&amp;fobs=biip_031919_mrs-meyers-new-products&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.grove.co%2Fcatalog%2Fproduct%2Fhand-balm%2F%3Fv%3D3515" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The balm</a> is really meant for your hands but I've found it to be effective for any part of your body because it's so concentrated and thick. It includes super-hydrating shea butter and almond and radish seed oils, and a little goes a long way. At 3 ounces, it's small enough to be considered travel-size but can be a little too big for some people to carry every day, so I'd definitely suggest leaving it at your desk or by your bed, which I do.<a href="http://goto.target.com/c/196318/81938/2092?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.target.com%2Fbp%2Fmrs.%2Bmeyer%27s" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5c7022e60d15f529085df655-1200/mrs meyers soap 3.jpg" border="0" alt="Mrs. Meyer's soap 3" data-mce-source="Facebook/Mrs. Meyers" />Facebook/Mrs. Meyers</div></div></div></a>Because of the thick viscosity, the balm almost feels like a treatment so I'll coat my hands and slip on a pair of <a href="https://amzn.to/2Y4IIFc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cotton gloves</a> overnight for silky-smooth skin the next day. It's been especially helpful on my windburned hands this winter, healing my dry, irritated skin overnight. The Lavender scent is also really calming and soothing, and it helps me unwind. In addition to the new products, Mrs. Meyer's is also rolling out a whole new scent called Rain Water, which smells like a fresh dewy morning after a rainstorm. It's actually usurped Basil as my favorite scent from the brand and is available in seven products including the <a href="https://track.flexlinkspro.com/a.ashx?foid=1067927.140887114&amp;foc=2&amp;fot=9999&amp;fos=1&amp;fobs=biip_031919_mrs-meyers-new-products&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.grove.co%2Fcatalog%2Fproduct%2Fmrs-meyers--bar-soap%3Fv%3D3584" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bar soap</a> and <a href="https://track.flexlinkspro.com/a.ashx?foid=1067927.140887114&amp;foc=2&amp;fot=9999&amp;fos=1&amp;fobs=biip_031919_mrs-meyers-new-products&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.grove.co%2Fcatalog%2Fproduct%2Fbody-lotion-MMCD" target="_blank" rel="noopener">body lotion</a>.
