Aromatherapy Bath Tea Bags, with Organic Green Tea, Dead Sea Salts, Essential Oils

Organic Green Tea Bath Tea Bags with Dead Sea Salt in 5 different infusions, Soothe, Relax, Energise and Sensual for him and her.

Add one 'Tea' Bag to a warm bath for a wonderfully fragranced bath, then lie back and relax, while the Green Tea and Dead Sea Salt do their work.

Each bag is approx 50g, using a combination of ingredients designed to give you a bath infusion which leaves you and your skin feeling totally pampered. The Tea Bag is an organza drawstring bag.

The aromatherapy combinations I finally decided upon are:

Soothe. Jasmine, Calendula Petals, Dead Sea Salt, Organic Green Tea.
Relax. Lavender and Sweet Orange, Lavender Flowers, Dead Sea Salt, Organic Green Tea.
Energise. Lemongrass, Lavender & Sweet Orange, Dead Sea Salt, Lemon Balm, Organic Green Tea.
Sensual for Her. Ylang Ylang & Frankincence, Dead Sea Salt, Lemon Balm, Organic Green Tea.
Sensual for Him. Sandalwood & Frankincence, Dead Sea Salt, Lemon Balm, Organic Green Tea.

Totally natural ingredients as always.
All the Lavender products come from a third generation family farm set in the heart of the beautiful Cotswold Hills. They grow and use the Highest Quality English Lavender Essential oil.
The Green Tea is certified organic and packed with powerful antioxidants.
Lemon Balm, good for the heart and for uplifting the spirit, it is also used for headaches, fevers and as an aid to digestion.If you feel a cold coming on, take a nice warm bath and use a Bath Tea Bag with Lemon Balm.
Dead Sea Salt has therapeutic and rejuvenating properties, and is used to treat many skin complaints. Very soothing and relaxing, with a unique mineral rich content that is extremely good for the skin.

These Bath Tea Bags come as a gift set, in a foil bag, which can be resealed using the tie. They are also available to buy indiviually.

It is essential to keep the bag sealed between use, because sea salt will draw moisture from the air. To ensure no tea stain occurs, rinse the bath immediately after use.

There goes the summer!

Sad to be waving it goodbye.

Hasn't it been a busy summer? It seems to have flown by, and I seem to have missed it, I don't know how that happened. I am not complaining about being busy, far from it, but another month of Sunshine would be nice, even if I am mostly stuck indoors making things.

Talking about making things, I really nipped in here today to tell you about a Mango fragrance I found. Probably my favourite fragrance to use to make things is Apricot with Mango. I spent ages finding the exact Apricot I wanted, and then started on the Mango. And, I am pleased to say I found one that is now my firm favourite, in soap, shea cream and bath melts. It smells devine, and is so easy to work with! I even used it in my new Cocoa Butter massage bars, it was perfect, they will be on the website as soon as I can get some nice photographs done!

If you use Mango fragrance then try this Ebay seller handmade-soap-deli


Very friendly and helpful, and I have since decided to try their Parma Violet and Banoffee fragrances aswell.....I have been making "cakes", they too need decent photographs, but unfortunately I have to make more to do it because (fortunately) they all sold at the FIRST farmers market I took them to, how fab is that?

Anyway, it is nice to be able to recommend another business woman and one who goes the extra mile to help their customers, and I can totally recommend the fragrance oils from Bev at handmade-soap-deli, used in the Apricot & Mango Cocoa Butter Bath melts pictured :)

Please buy a soap and help this charity help homeless people



Every penny from this listing for a gift box of bath melts and from this listing for handmade soaps will go to the Hilary Stent Awards for homeless people.
Buyers pay direct via the JustGiving page so you know every penny will go to the charity.  
 I am happy to donate all the items, times are hard for everyone making it much harder for charities right now. The awards help people get back on their feet after tough times.


You don't have to buy soap or melts to help this charity!  
If you can spare just one pound it will help. Donations can be made 
via their JustGiving page

The Hilary Stent Awards were created in 2001 as an annual award for homeless and formerly homeless people who are trying to make big steps in their lives and as a way to remember the remarkable contribution Hilary made to the lives of so many during her life.

The awards are presented to those people with the best idea of making the big step away from homelessness.  There are no preconceptions about what the winning ideas must be, but Thamesreach are particularly interested in ones that are ambitious, unusual, make a big difference to the life of the person seeking the award and, most importantly, originate from the homeless or formerly homeless person themselves.
Previous awards have included a laptop, driving lessons, carpentry tools, a music keyboard and lessons in various classes. One award was for painting and decorating equipment for someone to set up employment.


Thames Reach is a London-based charity helping homeless and vulnerable people to live in decent homes, build supportive relationships and lead fulfilling lives.  Their vision is to end street homelessness.  Thames Reach assists rough sleepers on the street, houses people in a range of hostels and supported accommodation projects and helps isolated or vulnerable people to develop new skills, take up training and work and build meaningful relationships within their communities.

Shea Cream in Strawberry Fragrance for Children with skin problems

Sometimes you need a cream that children will like using to help with their dry skin or excema problems, and they won't usually like the adult version which is  Rose, Lavender, Geranium. So with this in mind I have used Strawberry Smoothie as the fragrance for this Shea Butter with the young ones in mind. Strawberry Smoothie is an 'all known allergen free' fragrance so should be fine for everyone to use, although anyone with sensitive skin should always do their usual skin patch test 24 hours before use.

Also available in a soap slice, with just a hint of colour. This is glycerine soap so is very moisturising and gentle, children will love using it!

Shea Cream is available in a 25ml size at 25% off the usual price of £2.50, so you can try it and see for yourself how good it is. Also available in a 120ml jar for just £5.99. The Website address is www.heavenlysoaps.co.uk.

A good Cream for Acne, Excema and Psoriasis

If you suffer with Excema or dry flaking skin this UK handmade cream is worth a try.
Made using natural ingredients and a  blend of English Rose, Lavender and Geranium Essential Oils, and apart from anything else these oils are used to lift the spirits and leave you with a gentle feeling of calmness.

Rose is fabulous for increasing feelings of vitality, and creating a sense
of well-being, aswell as being renowned for being kind and caring to
sensitive skin.

Lavender is best know for its relaxing and calming effect and being skin
toning, but it is equally effective for all types of skin problems such as
abscesses, acne, oily skin, boils, psoriasis etc.

Geranium essential oil is used in the treatment of excema. This uplifting
oil has a great all-over balancing effect on the mind and this extends to
the effect it has on the skin - where it helps to create balance between
oily and dry skin

If you are prone to hormonal skin changes at puberty or menopause, or your skin goes from dry to oily, this will help balance your skin. A perfect balancing combination of essential oils and with the added benefit of one of the best moisturisers there is, Shea butter.

Shea is wonderful for dry skin, oily skin, combination, young or old skin, an extremely effective and intensive moisturiser. This cream also has Coconut Oil and Sweet Almond Oil which are both renowned for skin moisturising and softening, aiding healing and repairing.
