We all have experienced long days when the pressure is on and we can't relax.  The boss gives us deadlines and colleagues request information. Dealing with the public can be hard work not only physically but mentally as well.  No matter what your job, at the end of the day your mind is buzzing and your body aches.  You're covered in traffic grim and dirt which is clogging your pores. Stress and insomnia is part of every day living and finding a means to turn away from the day's events and relax is hard.

• The simple pleasure of a 20-minute soak in the bath could be the answer. 

• Unwind with some relaxing music and light some candles.

• Run yourself a luxurious warm bath with some of our lavender and peppermint bath salts :  lavender to relax the mind and peppermint to soothe your aching muscles. 

• Then indulge in our soothing lavender soap, just the thing to clean and calm all those dirt ridden angry pores.  Maybe you would rather wash with the healing power of honey. Our honey soap is not only tender on your skin but will gently exfoliate, leaving your skin soft and silky.

Now - relax and leave the day behind!

Fill the bath, then add the oils.

• 1 drop pure essential lavender oil

• 1 drop pure mandarin essential oil

• 1 drop pure geranium essential oil

Honey and Apricot Body Lotion for Normal/Dry skin

Why not make some soothing Body Lotion to melt into your skin after your bath?

Coconut oil is soothing, emollient, and melts at body temperature, making it easily absorbed into the skin after a bath or shower.

• 50g coconut oil

• 1 tbsp sunflower oil

• 2 tbsp apricot oil

• 1 tsp clear honey

Put the coconut oil in a bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir until melted.  Mix in the other ingredients, stirring over a gentle heat until well blended.  Put into a clean jar and leave to cool and set before sealing.  Keeps for several months.
