Soothe your soul with a soak

As I sit here writing this, I am hoping that you are one of the lucky ones who is making a little time for some self-care, in this festive period. This is the ideal time for the kind of relaxed ‘me time’ where there’s no need to rush because hopefully there are no deadlines for you to meet over the next few days.

How to indulge? Well, this is the perfect time to indulge your spirits with some therapeutic bath oils… there is something so restorative about indulging in bathing rituals. It is one of the few times that we have the time to connect with our bodies as well as enter an almost meditative state of calm.

Many cultures treat bathing as a ritualistic affair for example the ancient Greeks and Egyptians took bathing very seriously and were known to associate cleanliness with spirituality amongst other things.

In Japan, they have quite elaborate bathing rituals as they do in Morocco and Turkey …think Hammams and Turkish Baths. So in the spirit of encouraging you to take part in the ritual of bathing, here are some of our favourite bath products to lift your spirits and ease your soul.
