There are so many moments when life slows down just enough to let us be fat and happy for a day. Together with your partner or best friend, take a moment over a pot of tea to write down some of your best memories together. Write these on bay leaves using edible ink pens.

When you’re done, place the leaves in a jar with a cork cap and fill with olive oil. As you perform this project together, dedicate the bottle of oil to shared meals, healing body rubs, and moments of shared nourishment. Choosing an antique or special olive oil bottle with symbols of the moon, Venus, or goddess imagery will help to add a sense of prophecy and energy to your mojo oil. Visualize growing togetherness as you anoint romantic candles and love charms with this oil.
