Melt away your woes with a moisturising bath melt!

Phew, that's better!
Needed to give myself a little bit of a treat this morning, so plopped one of these in my bath. Feel all soft, smooth and gorgeously smelling, now.



Packed full of plant butters and oils to nourish your skin, fragranced with essential oils of Jasmine and Ylang ylang, these bath melts by Ceri of Oakwood Soaperie are perfect for a little pick me up and a pamper. Drop into a running bath, climb in and let the nutritious oils feed your skin with vitamins and minerals.



No need for a moisturiser after one of these luxury melts as the oils sink in to your warm skin and provide all the moisture it could need. In fact, you can even split them in two for two baths - they're that packed full of gorgeous scent and moisturising oils.



Our customers love our bath melts, too - see the website for glowing 5 star reviews, such as "it melts really well, smells GORGEOUS and is a little bit of well deserved yummy heaven for anyone in need of a bit of TLC!"

Beat the Drizzly Weather Blues and jump into the bath with one of our irresistable new bath treats!

On a dark, drizzly day like today you need a bit of a treat! Luckily, Ceri of Oakwood Soaperie has just delivered a fantastic box of gorgeously scented handmade soaps, bath bombs, bath melts and gorgeous new bath bubble bars!



These bars are handmade by Ceri in the UK, using as many natural ingredients as she can, and avoiding artificial fragrances and colours. The bubbles are created by the fizzing action of the sodium bicarbonate and supported by the foaming action of the coconut derived natural surfactants.



We at The Emporium have been thoroughly testing them, of course, finding the bubbles and scents to be simply amazing - a real foamy treat! Each bar lasts for two baths, simply just break it in half and save one end for another drizzly day (if you can wait that long!)

We have four unique bubble bars in stock (click the names to go see them directly!):

Cherry Blossom Bubble Bar: This gently colours the bath water and fragrances it with Cherry Blossom, an intensely feminine floral blend of iris harmonised by jasmine, rose, lily of the valley and freesia on a base of powdery iris, musk, precious woods and crystal amber. It is also enriched with Sweet Almond Oil to moisturise your skin as you bathe.

Orange Blossom Bubble Bar: This gently colours the bath water and fragrances it with Orange Blossom If you like neroli essential oil, you’ll love our orange blossom fragrance. A refreshing fragrance opening with fresh petitgrain-neroli top note supported by a rich orange blossom body with hints of coriander, celery, clary sage and mandarin on a woody base which blends beautifully with my Earl Grey Tea soap as the fragrances both contain Neroli. It is also enriched with Sweet Almond Oil to moisturise your skin as you bathe.

Sweet Pea Bubble Bar: This gently colours the bath water and fragrances it with a Sweet Pea blend which is the same blend as in my Sweet Pea soap. Delicate violet leaf and crushed green grasses with touches of bergamot, rosewater, and jasmine. The base contains hints of iris and gentle amber, exotic patchouli and sweet musk It is also enriched with Sweet Almond Oil to moisturise your skin as you bathe.

and my favourite

Violet Femme Bubble Bar: This gently colours the bath water and fragrances it with Violet. A traditional floral with top notes of violet and freesia, supported by a bouquet of carnation, muguet and rose on a base of gentle woods. If you like parma violets, you will LOVE this!

Pamper Mum for Mother's Day

Next Sunday (3rd of April) is Mother's Day! Here at The Emporium we love our Mums, so have collected some amazing UK handmade pamper treats, soaps and gift ideas we know she will love and deserves - here are our top tips for the ones you need to make her feel special! :


1. Chuck out that slimy bar of supermarket soap!

Supermarket soaps can be great value, but they are packed with preservatives, artificial colours, scents and god-knows-what to make it have a long shelf life. (Not to mention some contain palm oil, which is the cause of massive deforestation of the rainforest to plant!)

Instead:




Lovely handmade soaps by Ceri of Oakwood Soaperie are packed full of goodness! All her soaps are handmade at home in small batches using the 'cold process' method and only use the finest oils, butters, Northumbrian honey & beeswax (provided by her Dad, a bee keeper for over 25 years), natural clays, botanicals, essential oils and blended fragrances. The soaps are cured for a minimum of 4 weeks to ensure they are in tip top condition when they are sold.
They use no animal products, so are completely vegetarian and most of them are also vegan, the only guinea pigs they are tested on are human.


2. Make A Splash With a Naturally Indulgent Bath

Most Mums love a long relaxing soak in the bath - but is she getting the best deal for her skin with her bath treats?



Our handmade Cocoa Butter Dream Bath Bombs smell divinely vanilla’y - not an artificial, sweet, melted ice cream sort of vanilla, but rather a smoky, pure Tahitian vanilla bean fragrance. To make it even more delectable, These bath bombs are also packed with cocoa butter (a by product of chocolate making) to give a hint of real chocolaty creaminess and superior moisturisation.



Or, if she prefers a slow melt, try a Vanilla Delight Bath Melt packed full of plant butters and oils to nourish your skin, fragranced with essential oils of Rose Geranium and vanilla. Drop into a running bath, climb in and let the nutritious oils feed your skin with vitamins and minerals. No need for a moisturiser after one of these luxury melts as the oils sink in to your warm skin and provide all the moisture it could need.

3. Pick A Handmade Gift Box Packed Full Of Favourites



Can't choose from our gorgeous range by Ceri? (It's hard - from scents like Peppermint and Poppy to Chocolate Truffle, she crafts it!) Why not take a look at our gorgeous gift boxes packed full of treats by Ceri. With bath bombs, melts, soaps, lip balms, scrubs and body butters Mum will be amazed at the scents and treats on offer.



In short, for Mother's Day Gifts that are truly special, visit The Emporium - we also have a gorgeous range of UK handmade jewellery, candles and cards that Mum will love, too.
