Why I’m impressed by sensory retreats self-warming eye mask 

Quick note: Some of the links contained on this page are affiliate links and if you go through them to make a purchase, I will earn a commission. I only recommend products I use myself and think would be useful for you.

Okay, I’ve never come across a product like this before and therefore I wasn’t sure what to expect. 

I was excited to be gifted a box of two eye masks to try. Simply because I’m a tired mama and I care immensely about my own wellbeing and the wellbeing of others. No matter what your situation in life, we all need a little self-care. Even if you struggle to find time, it’s important to make time. Recommended for 25 minutes, these masks fit perfectly with short snippets of relaxation.

Each week I do have one child-free day, thanks to my parents. It’s usually filled with cleaning, catching up on my never-ending to-do list. Or food shopping. However, on this occasion, I relished the opportunity to make time for self-care and review this product. Thank you for providing me with some much-needed relaxation sensory retreats

So what did I think?

Opening the box felt special. As you can see from the packaging, this would make a perfect self-care gift for someone special in your life. I couldn’t wait to try it and indulge in relaxation.

If you’re struggling with what to buy for mother’s Day, this could be the perfect solution. 

The fragrance 

The masks I received had a faint rose smell. It was lovely, but not at all overpowering. Every now and then you got a whiff of it and felt more relaxed. 

The mask itself 

In the past, I’ve only ever used cooling eye masks. Therefore I was a bit apprehensive about the effect heat would have and also how these masks would self-heat. 

The material is so light and breathable and the heat starts gradually, to a relaxing level. Think of an all-day heat pad on your back, but much more relaxing and fragrant.

The experience 

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know I love setting the mood. Following my mental breakdown, it’s important for me to have daily touches, like candles and diffusers. It really does lift my mood and make me feel better. Especially if I have a bad day. 

When trying the masks, I lit candles, put on some yoga music on Spotify. And took the opportunity to do absolutely nothing. With a toddler running around the house, it’s rare to get these moments. And it was absolutely lush.

Are you looking for a fabulous self-care gift? Maybe you’re shopping for Easter, Mother’s Day or another occasion? Look no further! I have the perfect gift for those occasions, or if you simply want to send someone close to you some postbox TLC.

Opening the gift

I was so excited when I received the package in the post. The box was small and compact and if I received this as an unexpected gift, I would be so excited to open it and find out what was hiding inside. I love the idea of this gift, simply because it works. On my mental health blog, I talk about how vital self-care was when recovering from my breakdown last year. And how positive thinking does work.

A little bit about Cotton & Grey

Our Twenty Minute Candles came about when we put together a small box of beeswax candles and handwritten affirmation cards for a close friend who was struggling in lockdown, to help her relax and restore her well-being… and she loved them!

We are now finalists in this year’s Gift of the Year.

Product description

Lose yourself for twenty minutes of restorative time by slowing down and living in the moment with our ‘Twenty Minute Candles’.

Pure beeswax, our candles burn cleanly with a gentle honey aroma aiding relaxation and mindfulness.

Why a gift like this can make a difference

Something as simple as lighting a candle would help me, following my breakdown. I’ve also adopted positive thinking and I am a huge fan of affirmation cards. Because telling ourselves positive things does work. Together with other factors which helped me recover, I now feel like a new person. As such, I place a huge value on items like this and spend some of our weekly budget buying self-care items.

A small gift like this can work wonders for someone struggling or brighten up their day. 

fabulous self-care gift

I know some of you reading this are part of the mental health community on Twitter. A kind, supportive group of people and I constantly see posts about giving gifts to other people in the community. This gift would be perfect to raise someone’s spirits during a difficult time.

Some of you are also busy parents and mummies in desperate need of some TLC. Based on the fact I don’t get much time these days for self-care, I was excited to try these products when my little one was at nursery. A quick, easy solution. To feel relaxed in the small windows of time I get to myself.

Here’s what happened when I lit the candles

I combined these amazing, cute little candles with another self-care gift. I set the scene, had another read through my affirmations and said them out loud. In my current life situation, I need them. And I will be using them over the next few weeks when I hopefully have some big, exciting changes coming up in my life.

During the candle burning, I felt relaxed and restored.
