What i’m focusing on this month
Do you ever give much thought to your own “Self-Care”…? Its a phrase thats banded around alot these days isn’t it. I know when I read those words they really grate on me, how about you ?. Lets face it, when you are rushed off your feet, the last thing you want to think about is taking a break from what you are focusing on getting done, am I right ?. But, the long and the short of it is that as much as others in our lives draw time and love out of us at the rate of knots, it is so important to keep topping that up in ourselves before we find we are running on empty. So this month I am focusing on small ways (nothing too drastic here ladies) we can build in restorative and calming habits to help us better meet all the demands that life hurls at us. Do any of you fancy hopping onboard with this “Self Care Revamp” … ? keep your eyes peeled for some posts during november which I hope will give you ideas and encouragement to create small changes that you can stick too. To get you going I have popped a recipe at the end of this newsletter for some de-stressing bath salts which are super easy to make so scroll down to see more about that ??. xo

A natural beauty recipe for you
Stress busting bath salts
If your salt is coarse like my pink himalayan rock salt then blend it in a magimix or nutribullet until it is as fine as you can get it. Then add in the other dry ingredients and give them another whizz so they are all evenly mixed. Lastly add in your essential oils and blitz again to make sure everything is thoroughly blended together. Then spoon into a glass storage jar with a firm lid.
This is my current combination which has pink himalayan rock salt and rose essential oils in as my salt and essential oil choices for the month. I use an old kilner jar from the kitchen (well scrubbed first) but if you have a more pretty jar thats even better ✨
N.B. It's a good idea to drink a glass of water before, during and after your bath to keep properly hydrated while you detox and relax.
Some of my favourites are:-
Peppermint, sage and eucalyptus helps with my migraines.
Sweet orange is uplifting.
Lavender is calming and relaxing.
Rose helps with low mood and anxiety.
Ginger aids digestive issues and feeling nauseous, great when feeling travel sick or any other kind.
Eucylptus and Mint for colds, congestion and headaches.
Rosemary is great for memory fog, headaches, digestions and aches and pains and is useful around exam time.
Tea Tree oil as a natural antiseptic is good for skin issues and healing. Great when you have a bladder infection or post partum.
Frankincense helps with inflammation and is a great mood lifter.
This is an easy starting point to bath salt remedies so try other combinations that you fancy too depending on what you have to hand as just about anything goes.
