New Year’s Eve has a funny way of pressuring us into sequins, taxis, and shouting “HAPPY NEW YEAR” at strangers while standing in the cold. But here’s a radical thought: what if the most luxurious way to see in the new year… is in the bath?
Water therapy sounds terribly grand, but really it’s just having a soak - something humans have sworn by for centuries because it works. And when you add a generous scoop of our bath soaks, suddenly your last bath of the year feels less Tuesday night and more private spa retreat. Fireworks optional.
Our soaks are a proper cocktail of 84 minerals - Magnesium, Epsom, Himalayan salts - all working quietly behind the scenes to help your body relax, reset, and let go of whatever this year threw at you. Consider it a mineral-powered clean slate.
Here’s how I’m spending New Year’s Eve this year:
Run the bath.
Warm water, not boiling. We’re ringing in the new year, not cooking ourselves. The heat melts away tired muscles and softens skin that’s been through… a lot.
Add bubbles. Lots of them.
This is not the night to be restrained. Pile them high, sink beneath them, and pretend the rest of the world doesn’t exist for a while.
Light a candle.
Non-negotiable. I’m currently obsessed with Coastal Walks - it smells like salty air, fresh starts, and the promise of fewer emails next year.
Add your soak.
Sprinkle generously. Eventide is my New Year’s Eve hero - infused with essential oils that make your nervous system sigh with relief. It’s like telling your body, “You’ve done enough this year.”
Lie back and breathe.
Three deep breaths. Inhale calm. Exhale the year. Ignore the faint sound of fireworks and the laundry pile watching you from the hallway.
Optional magic.
A dash of bath oil for skin so soft it feels like a fresh beginning. When you’re done, I always finish with a spritz of Magnesium Mist — the encore your body didn’t know it needed.
Post-Bath Ritual
Once you’ve soaked for at least 20 minutes (long enough to actually reap the detoxifying, muscle-melting benefits), rinse off with clean water to remove any residue. Then seal everything in with our Everyday Hair & Body Oil — nourishing, gentle, and perfect for the whole family.
The Result?
Calm nerves. Soft skin. And the quiet smugness of someone who chose self-care over chaos. No queues. No countdown stress. Just you, a bath full of bubbles, and the gentle feeling that maybe - just maybe - you’re starting the new year exactly how you mean to go on.
Happy New Year,
