Enjoy a little more me-time this January

With cold and dark evenings going nowhere fast and alcohol firmly off the menu, this month is certainly more about enjoying time indoors than going out. That’s why you’ll find us treating ourselves in the bathroom rather than the bar this January after a hectic Christmas and New Year.

Did you know that enjoying warm baths will not only help you to feel relaxed and boost your mood, but can have a real positive impact on your health? Not only will your skin receive extra TLC from any added products, but a long hot soak can also help to alleviate aches and pains, lessen inflammation, calm the nervous system and even help to balance out your hormones. Yep, we’ll take that.

We’ve read a fair few studies on the link between bathing and a good night’s sleep here at Bubble T and there are a few surprising facts out there. Did you know that it’s less about the warm water that sends you off into a deep sleep and more about the dip in your body temperature? A 1997 medical study found that your body temperature falls naturally at night to allow for a better and deeper sleep, and it’s this rise and fall of body temperature following a warm bath that creates the all-important ready-for-sleep feeling. Just make sure you allow time for your body temperature to drop before snuggling up and heading to the land of nod.

Want to add a little extra to your morning shower or relaxing bath? Both our Lemongrass & Green Tea and Moroccan Mint Tea scents are perfect for a fresh and zingy wake-up call, while our selection of bath bombs, sweet Summer Fruits Tea and Hibiscus & Acai Berry Tea ranges are all perfect for long and relaxing baths. Enjoy!
