Wind down with winter treats

Indulge in a deep sleep, with lavender drops on your pillow or with a bath of soothing oils.

I LIKE winter. The clothes are better. The food is better (it’s essential to eat double portions every night to keep warm, so you do). And there’s more sleep. On the dark nights, I have no guilt about creeping into bed with a hot-water bottle and a good book at 9.45pm.

The season of hibernation, winter is about long, sleepy nights. I like to maximise the comfort and relaxation by lighting the fire, slipping on cashmere socks and going for beauty products that increase my tranquility. I’m not talking scented candles. I’m talking bath soaks that make you want to nod off, and body lotions and delicate oils that will send you to sleep.
