From savoury eggs to spring craft kits and rejuvenating scented items, do something different this Easter
Easter is a time for rejuvenation – when the world around us is coming back to life, and the days are full with a sense of hope for the season ahead of us.
Many of us treasure the traditional chocolate Easter egg but, if you’re looking for something a bit different or something that captures the unique feeling of this time of year, we’ve got just the lineup for you…
1. Bulgarian rose water, Alteya Organic
The perfect way to bring a breath of spring air into your life, the pure distilled rose water from Alteya Organic is a real treat. Spray it on your face and body to tap into the nourishing qualities of rose water, and use it as a toner or a setting spray – or just give yourself a spritz during the day when your skin (and mind) needs a refreshing boost.
