After a rough day,
take the phone off the hook, put some gentle music on and make
sure that you are not going to be disturbed... prescribe yourself
some dried flowers, leaves and herbs (i.e.. rose, lavender + elder
for calming and soothing), a few drops of revitalising essential
oil, or the one of my fav ways to escape: a LUSH
bathbomb!
Warm baths (lukewarm)
are refreshing on very hot days. Add a Lush
"slammer"
for the ultimate revival, and let the lemon and lime fizz you
up!
Tepid
baths are a good pick-me-up anytime. Need something to invigorate
your mind and clear your head? Try the "bon
bon bonnard" bath ballistic
- a decidedly inspirational combination of sea salt crystals,
rose and orange blossom.
Cold
baths are bracing and will improve circulation and muscle tone
(although, it seems easier to brave is a cold shower with strong
pressure...). For an extra chilled bath on those hot summer
days, dip into a Lush
"summer blues",
and let the honeysuckle, rose, jasmine and orange, well.....
how can you go wrong w/ that revitalising combo!
Aromatic baths relax
your mind and muscles, while softening and nourishing your skin
- one of my all time favs is the "double
extra lucky" bomb.
Tangerine oil uplifts and de-stresses every cell, as much as being
surrounded by the calming pink energy of this bath treat.
Before
retiring for the evening, a warm herbal aromatic bath will encourage
sweet dreams. An emergency bath remedy for insomniacs is
"waving
not drowning"
- lavender, fennel and cardamon bring on those sleepy vibes...
