Tell us about the story behind Arran Aromatics

For five generations the magical Isle of Arran has been our home and inspiration. With its rugged Highland hills and the warm waters of the Gulf stream it gives us the perfect environment from which naturally stems an abundance of pure ingredients.

Give your top tips for the perfect night in with Arran Aromatics

• Relax before you start - don't rush, this is your time - and run a warm bubble bath.
• Light some candles around the room for a relaxing atmosphere and pour yourself a glass of wine - this is serious work after all!
• After your scented bath, wrap yourself in a big warm bath towel and smooth on a generous amount of shea butter moisturising cream (oh, remember to put down the glass of wine before you get out of the bath!)
• Follow with a restful night's sleep and you're ready to face the day ahead.

What makes Arran Aromatics stand out from other luxury brands?

Nowadays it's so hard to be sure that the products in your bathroom aren't shipped from all over the place but with Arran Aromatics we are proud to say that they are all made in the UK.

Plus, so many ingredients used in the products are sourced from natural resources on the island, particularly thriving on the water from the Gulf stream.

What makes you feel good during the winter months?

I think it's so important to get out in the fresh air as much as possible. I like to walk for at least one hour a day - sometimes it's an effort to motivate myself, but I always feel so good afterwards.

At least once a week I have some real pampering time in the bathroom. I'll light candles and soak in a warm foamy bath. I make sure I exfoliate my skin regularly with an oil salt scrub and then I'll add a light application of instant bronzer to give me a healthy glow for a real boost. I've also discovered that wearing a good scent never fails to raise my spirits.

I drink a lot of tea and I particularly like peppermint tea at night before sleeping. I try to eat plenty of fruit and salads and I never deny myself chocolate!

Finally, watching some classic comedy really cheers me up - I find that laughter promotes such a feeling of wellbeing.
