INDULGENT SELF-CARE
Toronto-based bath and wellness brand Bathorium has reintroduced its Aphrodite bath bomb with a refreshed formula and elevated packaging. Inspired by the Greek goddess of love and beauty, the luxurious soak reveals notes of dark chocolate, dried orange, and fresh roses, enriched with Bulgarian rose essential oil and delicate freeze-dried petals that float across the water’s surface. Cocoa bean deepens the decadent aroma, while rosehip and kokum butters help to nourish and soften the skin. As it dissolves, the bath bomb releases a creamy effervescence that lasts about 12 minutes, transforming an everyday bath into a calming, sensual ritual. The formula is also free from parabens, SLS, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances.
COLOUR-FORWARD APPLIANCES
KitchenAid introduces Spearmint for 2026 as its eighth annual Colour of the Year. The soft mint-green shade brings a fresh, uplifting tone to the brand’s evolving palette, paired with a subtle textural finish that adds depth and character. The hue makes its debut on the iconic Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer, instantly brightening the kitchen while maintaining the timeless design the appliance is known for. Both cheerful and sophisticated, Spearmint offers a gentle nod to spring, bringing a sense of calm, colour, and personality to the heart of the home.
