Banishing the January blues with Bold 3-in-1 Pods ! (review)

When it comes to doing the household chores, my favourite (or, in any case, my least unfavourite !) is dealing with the laundry, because I love the fabulous feel-good fragrances that waft around the whole house. Recent research from Bold reveals that the smell of newly washed clothes and fresh sheets reminds us the most of home and half of Britons went so far as to say that fresh laundry makes them feel comforted, happy and relaxed.

 I definitely always seem to get a great night's sleep just after changing the bedding, which I'm sure is down to the relaxing scent and softness of the freshly washed cotton, and this weekend, having come down with a flu-type bug and spending vast amounts of time in bed, having the smell of freshly-laundered bedding tickling my nostrils certainly lifted my spirits slightly. 

With January and February being the dreariest months of the year, many of us would love nothing more than staying wrapped up in our quilts all day (or at least for an hour or two longer in the morning). The winter chill, the rainy British weather and the dreaded daily commute are the top three reasons that were given for wanting to stay tucked up at home.

Bold 3-in-1 Pods are designed to give you a portable version of the freshly-washed-sheets, feel-good fragrance, injecting a boost of freshness into your clothes and wrapping you in the nostalgic scents of home (and bed), helping you to mentally escape to the comfort of home whether you're in a stressful meeting, getting squished on the tube or hanging around in the rain at the bus stop.

There are four fragrances in the range :

Lavender & Camomile : Take your senses on a relaxing stroll through fragrant fields of fresh Lavender. Blended with soothing camomile, warm woods and Manuka honey, it creates a blissful feeling of serenity and harmony.

Lotus Flower & Water Lily : Clean, crisp and natural, this scent feels like cool summer evenings soaked into your clothes. The beautiful fragrance mixes refreshing Lotus Flower and Water Lily with crisp Blue Forget Me Not and Star Flowers.

Sparkling Bloom & Yellow Poppy : If summer had a scent, this would be it. This happy, vibrant and uplifting scent is a beautiful blend of yellow poppy, Yuzu blossom, Acacia and other lush floral notes.

Gold Orchid & Moringa : Pamper your world with this seductive and precious scent. This elegant fragrance contains precious notes of rare Gold Orchid and Moringa to make you feel like royalty.

I really like the cocoon of calming freshness that my bedding has provided after using the Lavender & Camomile pods, but I also fancy giving the uplifting, summery fragrances a try too. It's definitely time to put the January blues behind us !
