My favourite part of the day is definitely when I can indulge in some home comforts. Part of this routine involves this little candle. I came across the Cowshed boutique at Bicester Village and found the Cowshed soothing room candle at a discounted price for £18. I find it really hard to buy candles as some are either overly floral, sweet, musky or just smells too much like air freshener. This one is not overpowering and quite a clean fragrance with calming chamomile, sandalwood and jasmine essential oil. Unlike some candles, I can leave it burning for several hours and it's not overpowering. It's really soothing, relaxing and has become one of my favourite things after a long day at work. It's great to come home, burn this, get in my PJs, grab a cup of tea and spend the evening catching up on blogs, watching an episode of a favourite drama/tv show (I've finally started Breaking Bad) or reading another chapter of a book. Perfect. Do you guys have any favourite routines, I'd love to know!
Ah I love a candle in the bathroom while I'm relaxing - really helps me unwind!

I do LOVE a good candle. Candlelight is magical and scented candles are part of my favourite way to relax. My current favourite is Kobe by Astier de Villatte but I shall certainly look into trying this one. I am partial to sandalwood!
ReplyDeleteThere is something so peaceful about lighting a candle. It is definitely part of my routine as well...a simple way to just decompress. This one sounds perfect...I want to try it! :)
ReplyDeleteThis candle sounds amazing, just my kind of scent! x

Aw, this sounds lovely! We got a aromatherapy humidifier not too long ago, and I've been putting in a few drops of essential oils before going to bed. I always wake up feeling so refreshed now! :)
ReplyDeleteThey definitely do - they just make everything seem cosier. I don't opt for baths very much but I am so lighting a candle or two the next time I take some time out :)
ReplyDeleteCandles are so calming aren't they, especially when you find a scent you love. I'll definitely have to check out the Kobe one!
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree - when I chill our later, I definitely intend to light my candle and have a cuppa!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely! I've had some lovely candles in the past but sometimes they are just too strong and give me headaches after 10 mins. This one is perfect x
ReplyDeleteI love home time ;). The candle sounds amazing; I love subtle scents in candles!
