What it is: An aromatherapy gift set which contains an oil burner, essential oil blend and meditation CD.
My experience: I used all three products right before bed, and together they helped relax my mind and body, so I was able to slip into a good night’s sleep. The oil blend has a subtle yet calming scent, and the CD transported me to a distant rainforest.

 

Circa Home 1969 Narcissus & Patchouli Classic Candle – Georgie
What it is: A warming candle with a sultry blend of Orange Blossoms and spice combined with Bergamot, Cardamom and Musk.
My experience: I love Circa Home candles and this warming scent is perfect for the winter months. It’s a very inviting smell so perfect to light when guests come over for a glass of wine or two. The fragrance lingers nicely even after the candle has gone out meaning that my favourite scent in the world – orange blossom – is still in the air when I wake up the next morning. Heaven.

What it is: A feminine eau de parfum for women after a classic, oriental scent.

What it is: A certified organic cleansing lotion infused with enzymes to thoroughly cleanse, effectively remove impurities and refine skin.
My experience: This silky smooth cleanser not only removed makeup residue but also deeply cleansed my skin. Formulated with papaya to gently exfoliate and remove dead skin cells, I noticed an instant improvement in texture and tone after cleansing. Passionflower and aloe vera also helped to soothe and hydrate my skin for a glowing complexion in this dull winter weather.

I really enjoyed how quick this product was to fully absorb into my skin as I can’t stand that oily residue that some products leave behind. I also love the fact that this product is full of vitamin goodness.
