I have a wonderful treat for the senses to share with you today! What better way to start out the summer than with a company that offers products made just to pamper us! From the visual beauty of the website to the refreshing aroma of the products created by women just for us, everything about Thymes was created to nurture, refresh, sooth and energize women no matter what stage or walk of life you are in.The Thymes story: In 1982, the Thymes bravely began as a small, home-based business offering a collection of soaps and bath salts inspired by our love for art, nature and a desire to elevate everyday moments into restorative rituals. By using our products, we wanted women to be inspired, and find a renewed sense of balance.
Made with essential oils and natural ingredients, and artistically designed and packaged with hand-touched details, our products pioneered an entirely new category of botanically-based Bath & Body products.
We’ve grown since then (and so has the category we helped to create), but within our walls, much has stayed the same. We’re still a company that is run by and for women. And to this day, everything we do – every single collection we create, fragrance we develop, formula we produce, and even the packaging we design – is done with you in mind. This is our motivation for coming to work each day, and the reason why we’re still going strong after all these years.
When I was asked what collection most appealed to me, honestly I had the hardest time narrowing it down. They all sound so incredibly wonderful that I just could not choose. I finally decided to try the olive leaf because I like a more woodsy scent.
I was sent a candle, bath salts, and body wash from the Olive Leaf Collection.
Fresh herbs of rosemary, Sardinian laurel leaf and balsamic lavender flowers bask in Mediterranean sunshine. Below, rich, earthy notes of European patchouli balanced with crisp balsam and herbaceous rosewood harmonize and ground. The scent is perfect for men and women because it is not floral really. My husband loved it and kept sniffing me!
I have to tell you that it is rare that I have time to enjoy a bath. Usually it is a super fast shower because we have 5 other people waiting in line to bathe. But occasionally I will shoo all the children away, lock the bathroom door, and relax in our cast iron tub for a bath. Now it could partly be the fact that I have not relaxed in a tub for a very long time, but taking a bath with the Olive Leaf Bath Salts was like a little slice of heaven! Plus the envelope has a retail price of $5.00!!! $5.00 for your own slice of heaven – I am feeling all warm and happy just thinking about it!
The Olive Leaf Candle they sent me is wonderful, very fragrant without being overpowering. I put it in my living room and even unlit I can smell it. It is very soothing and relaxing, like being in the woods. The glass jar it comes in is very pretty and decorative and although I have been burning it quite frequently the wax is still at the top so I know I have many hours of enjoyment left.
The candle retails at $27.00
