I hope that you spent some time this month getting your love shack romance ready. Even though we're finally at the end of February, though, doesn't mean that it's time to stop loving your casa. In fact, I want to see it, so I can fall in love with it, too!

I've been posting a ton of ideas for bringing romance to your Love Shack this month, including plenty of products and a handful of crafty DIYs. One place still to be conquered, though, is the bathroom.

You can quickly change the mood of your Love Shack by switching off overhead lighting and setting votives around the room. But, since there's nothing romantic about burning the house down, why not go for some Candela Lights ($69-$129), rechargeable and portable lights that give off an ambient glow? They light up as soon as they're removed from their dock, and recharge in the same sense.

Since it's Love Shack month, and since I've been yearning for a cozy throw as of late, I think this Silvretta Heart Throw ($72, reduced from $85) is an ideal steal. Designed by David Fussenegger, in red and pink, this cotton throw is marked by clashing but cozy colors. The perfect way to chastely bring a little love to the living room.

According to The Mistic, an old-time occult shop that supplies products and services for the "spiritually minded," in New Orleans (a place with a long history associated with sellers of Hoodoo and Voodoo products), incense can be used "in spells to encourage romance, stimulate sexuality, draw love, and create harmony."
Some of the herbs included in these incense blends are juniper berries, lavender, calamus root, basil, red roses, periwinkle, and cinnamon. According to the Mistic, "Occultists generally agree that the best time to do work which draws love and sex is Friday under the Waxing Moon or Full Moon."

Nothing is easier (and more economical) for setting the mood in your love shack than lighting candles. I admit though, I often forget to light them at the dinner table or to warm up a room. How about you?

For that matter, your Love Shack is where you find it as well. For this little fellow, it's in the middle of this gorgeously heart-shaped leaf. Valentine's Day may be over, but that doesn't mean that the love has to end.
