I don't know about you but the run up to summer always feels a bit rushed and things in the household can become a bit unbalanced and hectic. I always find around this time of the year I need to step back a bit and make sure I have some quite moments to breath and restore not only my inner peace but also that of the home before all the summer action is in full swing (as we do like to make the most of those precious warmer months)
When I was younger I used to use a lot of incense sticks but found those can be pretty overwhelming so I was delighted to be asked to review some of these beautiful naturally scented Karm candles which uses aromatherapy to help destress and add a sense of relaxation in the home. What I love about these is the skill that has gone into making them, they are loving hand-made and poured their Lancashire studio in Ribble Valley using natural wax blends and essential oils.
I tried out three of there candles with my favourite being the sweet and elegant Amore range with soft nots of Cedarwood, Ylang and Jasmine. I like how the candles are in no way overpowering but rather provide a beautiful background scent to your home. At some point this week I am aiming to find an hour to myself to relax in the bath with a good book and one of these candles - Me time bliss.
The lovely people at Karm have also been kind enough to offer one of my readers the chance to win three of their stunning candles worth £44 in total.
I light candles and chill :)
