There is nothing like taking a long soaking bath for relieving stress and hiding away from kids hollering “mom!”, not thinking about work or anything thing else that may be on your mind. One of my indulgences is to light a few candles around the tub, turn on the light in the bathroom low enough to relax, but light enough to read, turn on some quiet music and pour a pouch of one of the Thymes Bath Salts into the water for a fragrant relaxing respite.
Ahhhh.
My mind goes to another world just writing about it. I love sprinkling the classic Eucalyptus salts – it helps to clear my mind. It’s one of those scents that I never tire of, and if you want the man in your life in on the secret – it’s not a scent that’s too feminine, so he may like to use it too. Eucalyptus is known to relax the muscles (and my mind). If you want a scent that’s a little more feminine, the Red Cherie bath salts may be ones that prefer. Honestly, I don’t think there is a scent in the bunch that I don’t love.
Thymes also makes a variety of other products too. Like body wash, lotions, home fragrances and more. About six or seven years ago I had the opportunity to meet Leslie, the creator of Thymes, at a dinner with friends. She told me all about how she came about creating the fragrances – from the basement of her own home. I loved hearing the story of how this divorced, single mom and her friend grew herbs and scoured the farmer’s markets for ingredients to make soaps, salts and more to start the company with just her and her friend and $1500. These two women tapped into a market that wasn’t there in the 1980’s and it’s been a cult classic ever since.
Excuse me while I leave to run some bath water…
