Review Body: It is fantastic! I loved everything about it, from the cool ideas and ingredients to the nice smells and helpful advice from the team. Even though I usually don't like strong smells, I found these ones really nice and relaxing. Studying the ingredients of the products made me feel comfortable and calm. Overall, the workshop was great and I highly recommend!
