In the middle of the cold and miserable winter there’s one thing that will warm your cockles and cheer you up – a nice hot soothing bath.

Eva Wiseman, writing in the Guardian newspaper, says baths can be a godsend at this time of year.

“I have approx two baths a year. Which is not to say I am filthy. It's not to say that, no. I am clean. Clean enough, anyway,” she says.

“But for me, baths only come into their own at times like this; times when the sky is as dark as a mood and the only good place to be is submerged in perfumed water.

“Bubbles you need: lots of bubbles. And a podcast playing, telling you stories. And a towel on the radiator. For the listening I'd recommend the New Yorker fiction podcast; for the towel I'd recommend one that's been through several washes and has a bit of fight left in it.”

And one of her recommendations for those soothing bath products is Weleda. The brand has a selection of perfumed bath products which will chase away those winter blues!
