From the light atmosphere to the sound program, through the most sensory formulas... Allowing yourself a moment of well-being at home to gain serenity is always a good idea. Here are our top tips for turning your bathroom into a 5-star spa.
A sound program
To create a bubble of well-being in your bathroom, and delineate a boundary with outside noise, you improvise as a sound designer for a while. Our body, essentially made up of water, vibrates under the effect of sounds. We choose a playlist of relaxing, euphoric music or even inspiring podcasts. You can also opt for a meditation program, for even more benefits.
The Little Bamboo App
Petit Bambou, the meditation expert with more than 4.7 million users, has also imagined sessions to listen to in the bath. Like number 5 of the Daily Meditation playlist, the Nature Stories program, Bodyscan in freedom, or even Tales of Wisdom.
Dua Lipa: At Your Service
Giving the floor to extraordinary guests (Amal Clooney, Elton John…) Dua Lipa offers a plethora of food for thought on success, mental health and failure. It's inspiring, relaxing, reassuring, like a conversation you could with a friend, except that these are more than incredible guests. Most ? This allows you to work on your English, with a British accent as a bonus.
September Club
Launched by the bubbly Jessica Troisfontaine of the Septem brand, this podcast has a short format (between 30 min and 1 hour) which allows you to listen to it anywhere, anytime to get a kick out of it and feel quickly inspired. The designer invites personalities - often women, but not only - with inspiring life and professional backgrounds, people who have dared to start to live from their passion. What I like ? There is always a touch of sweetness, food and culture in these episodes.
The playlist that works :
Here we have compiled a list of 20 songs that can help you relax in the face of all the daily anxieties that may arise. Whether it's the music of jazz legends, the little-known collaboration between the Cocteau Twins and mood composer Harold Budd, or a sad but sunny song by Brazilian songwriter Caetano Veloso, added for good measure, these songs can hopefully act as a kind of healing balm and natural relaxant.

An olfactory identity
The benefits of aromachology, or well-being through smells, are well established. In addition, the sense of smell is the only one of our 5 senses that does not directly access our consciousness. The scents we breathe are perceived by our unconscious. Passing through the limbic system, considered the seat of our emotions, they have a key role to play in our mood.
Candle Lys, Co. Found Flowers - Adelys
As soon as the wick is lit, one of Maison Adelys' best-sellers, this candle takes us on a journey. With a smell that is both mysterious and delicate, the fleur-de-lis nevertheless has a strong smell. There are also slightly spicy notes that will make you wander in your thoughts during your moment of well-being in your bath.
Jasmin Candle, Co. Found Flowers - Adelys
A great classic of the brand that suits all occasions, but is specially adapted for a moment of relaxation. The Jasmine Candle, which is part of the Fleurs Retrouvées collection by Adelys, is available in different sizes, to adapt to the size of your bathroom. The candles are produced in France, in the workshops of Grasse according to an exceptional know-how, inherited from the master candle-makers.
Nature & Découvertes Essential Oils Diffuser
Handmade in the same glassware as the candles, the Andelys diffuser allows passive diffusion lasting 3 to 4 months while invigorating the senses and purifying the air. Eight natural black rattan sticks will bring you the delicate and refined smell of Camellia, enough to escape your mind in a calm place enveloped by the luminous scent of camellia in bloom.
Essential accessories
To create your home spa, a few accessories are essential for this moment of relaxation. Discover our exclusive proposals.
The ideal Kimono
It's a real must-have in your wardrobe all year round. But in our opinion, the best way to wear it is to put it on during your skin care routine, just before you dive into your hot bath surrounded by your favorite candles.
Candle match
The match, at Adelys, is an essential part of the candle ritual. With a crack, it ignites the wick, surprises the shadows, makes the light burst. Scented with delicacy, it signs the prologue of the olfactory stories of each candle. And if its box remains slightly open, it will perfume its drawer. An accessory so simple but so elaborate thanks to the know-how of Adelys.
Home massage: the power of self-massage
Self-massage is accessible for all people wishing to do good. Whether we target the back, the legs, the face or even the stomach, everyone, in their own way, and according to their flexibility, can start. This practice acts directly on muscle relaxation, lymphatic circulation and blood flow. You can also massage your body when applying our body cream every day to kill two birds with one stone.
