Oui love it.

Oui Love It ~ warm baths, soft skin, and me time. Finding time for yourself, and finding your 'happy place,' can brighten your mood, your senses, and even your complexion.
Happy Place ~ two little words that can make such a big impact.
Perhaps these are two words that have a lot of meaning to you. Or, maybe these are two words that you hear about "soooo much," and yet, can't really pinpoint what they mean to you.
Last month, we featured a blog post that discusses Wellness. With respect to the Seven Dimensions of Wellness, environmental, physical, and emotional wellnesses are three dimensions that we'd like to really elevate this month.
Let's do a quick mental exercise... consider your happy place ~ whether it be predefined or unknown to you at this time, think about the spatial environment that surrounds you in that happy place. What does your physical balance look like? (Like your body: What do you put into it? What do you apply on your skin? How about your hair?) How is your emotional well-being represented in your happy place?
Your happy place may be defined by a location, or the people that surround you regardless of where you are, or the environmental elements around you ~ the music, sounds, food, scenery, ambiance, and smells. Some of us may be able to simply close our eyes and we're transported to our happy place. Do you have more than one happy place? (If so, then hey... high five to you!)
May we invite you to "An Afternoon in Paris?"
Who would decline a cup of tea on a beautiful afternoon in Paris?
Founder and purveyor of Qet Botanicals, Lisa Brill, surely couldn't. In fact, Lisa's happy place is greatly shaped by a beautiful afternoon in Paris years ago, where she sat enjoying the sights, lights, and sounds that hugged around herself and her daughter as Lisa sipped on a cup of tea so incredibly happy that she wished she could just soak in it. Delightful!
Fast forward several years to when Qet was born. Lisa knew she wanted to dedicate Qet's promise of using nature's botanicals and all natural products to create one luxurious bath soak... a happy place in a jar.
Oui bring you... "Blooming Tea Bath ~ An Afternoon in Paris."
Ooh, la, laa.
As you may guess, Lisa's memorable afternoon in Paris brought undeniable inspiration to Qet's romantic and sensual Blooming Tea Bath! Kissed with sea salts, epsom salts, softening oats, and a colorful blend of roses, lavender, jasmine, vanilla, and sweet orange, Qēt's Blooming Tea Bath brings you a happy place where petals float around you in embracingly soft water. Pouf! Paris... we have arrived.
Just like all of Qet's 42 (soon to be 45!) naturally, hand-crafted products, Blooming Tea Bath - An Afternoon in Paris prides its ingredients and happy place qualities right on the label:
"Rose petals, lavender flowers, jasmine flowers, and select botanicals in our blend of minerals and softening agents offer a relaxing and romantic bathing experience like no other. Inspired by the floral and uplifting notes in a Parisian tea, this Blooming Tea Bath will relax you, moisturize you, and transport you to your happy place. It's not just pretty, it's not just a nice gift, it's necessary, and it's just for you."
