The Secret To A Perfect Valentine's Day

Posted on January 22, 2024 by Melanie Brown

 

 

What does Valentine’s Day mean to you? 

As Valentine's Day approaches, our minds often drift to grand gestures and extravagant gifts. But is that truly what this day of love is all about?

This year take a moment to appreciate the smaller, more intimate expressions of affection – the kind that resonates deeply within your heart.

Imagine a cosy evening at home, away from the crowded restaurants and the pressure of making everything 'just perfect'.

Picture this: soft music playing in the background, a warm, ambient glow from flickering candles, and the comforting embrace of your loved one. Isn't this a more heartfelt celebration of love?

Valentine's Day, at its core, is about showing care and love in ways that truly matter. It's about creating a haven where you can relax, connect, and cherish each other's company. What better way to enhance this experience than with something crafted with as much love and care as you put into your relationship?

That's where my natural soaps come in. Made with the finest, natural ingredients, each bar is a work of art, an ode to love in its purest form. These soaps aren't just a cleansing product; they are an experience – a way to pamper yourself and your loved one, to make your evening at home feel like a luxurious retreat.

Enriched with soothing aromas and gentle textures, the Mel’s Little Luxuries soaps are perfect for a romantic, relaxing evening. As you bask in the tranquil ambiance you've created, let my soaps be a reminder of how the simplest things can be the most meaningful. This Valentine's Day, celebrate love in its most authentic form – celebrate with the gift of natural beauty and care.

Remember, the secret to a perfect Valentine's Day lies in the love you share and in the simple moments that you turn into cherished memories. Let Mel’s Little Luxuries natural soaps be a part of that memory, embodying the spirit of Valentine's in every lather.

What Memories Do Scents Conjure Up for You?

Posted on October 14, 2022 by Melanie Brown

When you think of Christmas, what scents does it conjure up for you? 🫢
 
There are so many different smells but the one that strikes out to me is peppermint.
 
I remember visiting a Christmas stall in Germany. It was freezing cold and didn’t deter visitors to the market. I recall getting a mug of hot chocolate which had a delicious hint of peppermint.
 
The drink was warming and somehow made me forget about the cold weather.
 
My Green Clay, Mint and Kelp Soap bar reminds me of the same relaxed feeling.
 
Imagine that you have had a stressful day and you just want to unwind.
 
You set a warm bath and relax with a bar of Green Clay, Mint, and Kelp soap. It's as if you are in your own personal spa.
 
It is refreshing and uplifting and helps you to wash away the troubles of the day. It helps you to feel 'you' again.

Check out our Green Clay, Mint and Kelp Soap. It's beautifully hydrating and moisturising. It is a wonderful mood enhancer.

The green clay is renowned for its detoxifying properties.

This is a gorgeous pamper treat for yourself and an amazing gift for a friend or loved one. Who knows what memories this will create for you.

The Benefits of Wonderful Bath Bombs!

Posted on June 11, 2021 by Melanie Brown

 

Bath bombs are always popular.

 

They are uplifting and provide a wonderful pamper experience. They even got a mention on ‘Coronation Street’ when one of the characters was telling her boyfriend to use one following the stress he was going through!!

 

So, what’s so special about bath bombs?

 

When used in a warm bath, they help you to relax just before you go to sleep.

 

Combined in a warm bath it is great for your circulation.

 

Bathing benefits your muscles, joints, and bones after a strenuous day. Bath bombs just add to that luxurious experience.

 

If they contain sumptuous oils and butters, they will provide you with moisturization from head to toe

 

How often do you use bath bombs?

I Am Taking Care of Myself Today!

Posted on August 07, 2016 by Melanie Brown

I am taking care of myself today.

How often do you say this to yourself?

Do you actually do it?

Of course you don’t!

The reality is you lead such a busy life, just like everybody else!
You look after your family. You go to work and get stuck in the long queues for work. Then you work incredibly long hours often missing lunch breaks to keep up with deadlines.

You start snacking but the problem is you are eating things which aren’t particularly great for your diet. You’re eating high caloried snacks, drinking too much caffeine and sugar drinks.

You return home after fighting to get through the lengthy commuting queues. If you are lucky, you have a few minutes to be with your children before they go to bed. When they do go to bed, you might sit on the couch in front of the television and vegetate or you might be in a situation where you’ve had to bring work home just to keep on top of everything.

Then the whole crazy wheel of life starts again tomorrow. You just jump right back on, doing the same things you did the day before. But this cannot go on! You have to maintain your sanity!

You need to take care of yourself. Not just today but every day. Look after your health! Look after you! You forget that you are so important! If you keep up with this crazy routine, it’s going to take it’s toll! You need to be at your best. Just for you.

So I simply ask you to do one thing, even for one day. Take care of yourself.

Repeat to yourself, “I am taking care of myself today!” And actually do it! Go for a walk! Meditate! Pamper yourself! Breathe! These are all simple things but at least you are creating time for yourself to recover from the manic days of last week and mentally preparing yourself for whatever comes your way next week.

Take care of yourself!
