Bath time with Baldwins

As a suffer from very achy bones and sore joints, bath times are always my favourite part of the evening and I like to make the most of it by using my favourite products. Usually my bath consists of Radox muscle soak and plenty of Body Shop shower gels. I received the Cranberry Body Shop gift set for Christmas and I have been in love with it. The recent addition to my bath time collection is the Weleda Lavender Soothing Bath Milk,* I have always been a huge fan of Weleda products and it's also Vegan - perfect for guilt free relaxation.

According to the Weleda website:" A long soak in our Lavender Bath Milk is the ideal therapy for mental exhaustion, overstimulation and restlessness. Its harmonising action soothes body and mind, reducing tension and easing restlessness." As a student in my third year of university mental exhaustion is something that I am always suffering from. Long days staring at a computer screen, completing essays and trying to make deadlines is enough to exhaust anybody. Add a blog, a part time job and the current moving house situation and that is a lot of stress. I've always liked Lavender and like many, I have always believed in its calming qualities. This Weleda bath soak soothes my body, eases my mind and makes me feel like I can drift off into clouds of lavender. This can be bought from Baldwins at £11.95, which is a pound cheaper than the actual store - to quote Tesco's 'every little helps.'

The second product added to my recent bath time regime is the Harmonising Bath Oil*, by Baldwins. The Harmonising Bath Oil has essence of Lavender, Marjoram and Geranium blended into bath oil that according to Baldwins offers to 'soothe, restore and balance the system.' This product is a delight to use - it smells wonderful, makes the bath water irresistibly soft and it has helped relax me. I have only used this once, so I would probably need to use it a fair few times to see if there are any additional benefits, but so far this product has lived up to its promises. This product is yet again, from Baldwins who have been purveyors of natural products since 1844. Which that much experience, you can trust their products are pretty good.

Have a Lush Christmas

During the winter time, there's nothing I love more than a candlelit bath and soaking amongst a wonderfully scented Lush bath bomb. The winter period is the time of year where I become almost addicted to Lush as a nice hot bath does wonders for seasonal aching joints and Lush are great for adding fun to bath time as well as adding moisturise in their bath bombs to aid drying skin. Every year Lush brings out a fabulous section of bath bombs and this year is no exception. There's everything from Snowmen to Santas and a wide variety of other Lush Christmas inspired products. 

Recently I was sent the Lush Snowman bath bomb to review and I thoroughly enjoyed my Lush Snowman experience. The Snowman has a Christmas red scarf and a nose made out of the Carrot bubble bar from a collection last Easter. To help moisturise your skin at the time you need it the most, the Snowman also contains cocoa butter, which gives a creamy soft feeling to the bath water.

I love watching bath bombs fizzle as I get undressed and the Snowman not only smelled beautiful, it gave an array of red, blue and yellow colouring to my bath water that looked as though I was bathing in the remains of an oil painting. Having tried many Lush bath bombs in the past, I have to say that the Snowman is one of my favourites alongside the much loved 'Big Blue'. The Snowman can be purchased from the Lush site for £2.50.

Have you tried the Snowman yet?
