Others in your life may spoil you, and you may spend a reasonable amount of time happily reciprocating, but it’s sometimes easy to let self-care, a crucial element of wellness, fall by the wayside. Don't let this be the case this Valentine's Day!
Thankfully, when it comes to self-care, a little goes a long way.

The blend of banana (high in vitamin B6 and potassium), blackberries (dietary fiber, vitamin C, and vitamin K) and raspberries (vitamin C, manganese, and dietary fiber), not only tastes delicious, but, thanks to Udo’s Oil™ DHA 3•6•9 Blend, also packs a powerful punch.
Udo’s Oil™ DHA 3•6•9 Blend combines sustainably sourced algae rich in DHA—one of the most important long-chain fatty acids in the omega-3 family—with a special formulation of natural, unrefined oils from fresh organic flax, sunflower, sesame, and evening primrose seeds as well as oils from coconut and rice bran.
This Valentine’s Day, focus on one of the most important relationships you have—with yourself. After all, when we love and take care of ourselves, it’s easier to give our best love and care to others.
