Beatitude Comfort Aromatherapy Candle


I absolutely love candles, there is something about the relaxation abilities which draws me in. From Beatitude, I have the Beatitude Comfort Aromatherapy Candle (£34) which is just beautiful.  I have used a few products from Beatitude such as the Patience Bath Oil here and the Peace Room and Pillow Spray here.  Beatitude is a brand which is best described as a luxury aromatherapy brand and it was created by beauty therapist and aromatherapist Rebecca O’Connor. Launched in Scotland in 2011 is 100% natural with no parabens, no petrochemicals, no sulphates and no artificial colours or fragrances. Beatitude is the ultimate feel-good brand and represents a luxurious high-quality product that has consideration for the environment.


The Comfort Aromatherapy Candle is described as having the most comforting and harmonising aroma and as soon as the box is opened, there is the most incredible scent that captures your attention.
Made from Eco Soy Wax, this candle also has a lead free wick and only uses the finest essential oils.  Even before the candle is alight, the fragrance, as I have said already, captures your attention pretty quickly, once alight, that fragrance intensifies and to sit or lie down in a darkened room and allow the essential oils to simply work their magic. For me, when it comes to candles it is about the ambience they create and the ability to just change your mood.

With this candle from Beatitude it combines the uplifting blend of mandarin, bergamot and clementine alongside the more soothing and delicate floral notes of geranium and lavender which together help create that calming and relaxing space before the aroma of Eucalyptus comes to life to balance the other fragrances. After a few minutes, the fragrance has spread throughout the house and the scent lingers for a good few hours after the flame has been extinguished.  It has a burn time of 60 hours approximately and it is one I have been using for a few hours a few times a week.  I love that it burns evenly, there is no black smoke and it is just a delight to use.

For me, this candle is comforting, it does create a relaxing atmosphere and it smells just incredible.  

Do you have a favourite candle?

Easter with L'Occitane

A few weeks ago I published my alternative guide to Easter with beauty eggs here for those who want something other than chocolate this year (or both).  If there is one brand who have taken it that one step further and have a whole host of gifts for everyone, it is L'Occitane.
L'Occitane Cherry Blossom Easter Egg
L'Occitane Cherry Blossom Easter Egg Contents
With a choice of two larger Easter Eggs or a pack fo four mini eggs, they make the most amazing gift for a loved one or for yourself.
Easter eggs are no longer just for kids. Indulge yourself with this set with products that capture the poetic beauty of springtime in Provence, where flowering cherry trees colour the Luberon Hills and perfume the air. 
I was kindly sent the Cherry Blossom Easter Egg (£15) and inside there are three lovely mini treats to be had and they include:
  • 75ml Cherry Blossom Shower Gel
  • 35ml Cherry Blossom Body Lotion 
  • 10ml Cherry Blossom Hand Cream
This is one incredible fragrance and one which is perfect for the Spring, if you have ever smelt Cherry Blossom up close, L'Occitane have managed to bottle it within these products.  If it doesn't sound like a scent for you, L'Occitane has an alternative with the Verbena option and it too also includes a Shower Gel, Body Lotion and Hand Cream or if you shop at Fabled, then you can grab the Almond option which contains the shower oil, soap and hand cream.  If you need more gifts, then the four mini Easter eggs set will tick those boxes.

Will you be indulging with a Chocolate Easter Egg this coming weekend or are you hoping the Easter Bunny brings you a Beauty Egg?
