Candle* £14.50
Bath Cupcake* £4.45
I have myself a lovely new candle and a gorgeous bath cupcake for the weekend! I love pamper time after work, especially as I’ve been feeling unwell this week, I try to do things that relaxes me and my “me time” involves catching up with TV shows on the iPad in a bubble bath with several candles around and a nice cup of tea. As you all probably know by now, I LOVE candles and bath products, I can’t get enough of them lately! It’s the first thing I think of when I want to feel more calm and de-stress. I never used to be that bothered about baths, I’d run the tap, add a bit of Raddox, and jump in when it’s full enough. Now I’m all about oils, bath fizzes, bubble bars, bath bombs, ballistics. I’ve got some that I don’t want to use yet, they’re just too pretty!
Both of these lovely products are from an independent brand called Ottoman Scent Co, founded in 2011 by a husband and wife team who are passionate about creating products inspired by Turkey and the Orient. Their key products are the fruit soaps (how nice do they look!) which is actually a Turkish tradition dating back 300 years. Their products come beautifully packaged, even the bath cupcakes, which makes them perfect as gifts, and they are made from natural ingredients, all handmade in the UK and free from SLS.
I couldn’t wait to use both the candle and bath cupcake, they smell lovely. I’m happy that they are free from nasty synthetic ingredients. Big companies don’t always care but that’s when you can turn to small businesses, you can count on them for creating quality products and listening to their customers. The candles are made from natural waxes and the bath/soaps contain nourishing and moisturising cocoa and shea butters. The cupcake can be used up to four times, and although it doesn’t create bubbles and colour the water in to a bright colour, it does leave your skin glowing, and feeling uber soft and moisturised.
