During colder and darker days, it is easy for our mood and sense of wellbeing to decrease as we feel less inclined to socialise, go outdoors and connect with others. If not balanced, these factors can lead to unhappiness which is why it is important to focus on self-care and to nurture your health and wellbeing during this time of year. With seemingly shorter days due to darker evenings, it can feel like we have less time during the winter months, especially in the week as work, a social life, and other responsibilities become struggle to fit within our lives. As a result, self-care and wellbeing practices are unfortunately not a priority. However, even with less daylight, there are ways we can practice self-care whilst balancing all of our other commitments. In fact, one positive of the darker evenings is the chance to cosy up indoors and dedicate the evening to self care and relaxation. Why not use some of this time to unwind from work, everyday chores and create a relaxing atmosphere within your home environment. Try creating different lighting effects, using candles, tealights, wax melts and cosy up with your favourite hot drink, a book or enjoy a long soak in warm fragrant bath. At The Candle Tree we have picked a small selection of wonderful products below to enhance your relaxation and bring serenity and cosy calm to your winter evenings, enjoy…

Lavender
Bath Salts

Naturally European Lavender Bath Soak with Lavender Petals are aromatic bath salts with natural extracts. Create a spa experience at home with these lovely Lavender Bath Salts. When you’re in need of warmth and relaxation, let the minerals dissolve to release the delightful fragrance. Sea salts offer skin benefits that are rich in health promoting minerals. There’s perhaps no better elixir than soaking in warm water after a long day, especially on a cold winters day. It can also help improve your health and well being, most ancient cultures have long believed in the healing effects of water. It is believed that your skin releases endorphins in response to the soothing warm water in the same way that endorphins are released when you feel the sun on your skin. Submerging ourselves in hot water can be both therapeutic and reinvigorating because blood flow increases to the skin. What better reason than to treat yourself to a long soak with these soothing aromatic Naturally European lavender bath salts.
