I don’t know what it is, but up until about 3 years ago, I was never really much of a ‘bubble bath’ person. I always thought that they took too long and that they were a waste of time. However since I finished Uni and started working, I can now see the positives in take a long relaxing soak at the end of a long day. 🙂

I was kindly sent this pampering bath soak a few weeks ago after the recent launch of Mandara Spa’s new spa collection named ‘Island Paradise’.  Ever since it arrived, I keep taking the lid off and having little sneaky sniffs as it smells so good, something I’ll touch on a little later.

Launched in Bali in 1995, Mandara Spa has since expanded into some of the world’s most exotic locations including the Maldives, Phuket and Hawaii and has re-vamped it’s at-home products into four collections inspired by these destinations. The latest collection is inspired by the Maldives and features an assortment including a hand lotion and wash, body lotion, shower scrub and the bath soak above.

Now as I said earlier, I absolutely love the smell of the bath soak – it’s a fresh citrus scent that left the whole bathroom smelling amazing for at least 30 minutes. The fresh lemon and grapefruit scents took  me back to this time last month when I was beaching it up in Barcelona. Ahh…happy days. *happy and sad face*

Uhh-Mazing smell aside, I (and my Mum..somehow she found it even though I’d hidden in ¬_¬) found the soak to be incredibly relaxing and invigorating and leaves me wanting the rest of the collection!

Island Paradise Bath Soak £12 (500ml) and the rest of the collection are available at Sainsbury’s.

Have you tried the Mandara Spa products before?
