In this freezing weather - please check out the ingredients of your moisturiser.

If the first ingredient is ‘aqua’ (water) you could be ‘freezing’ your skin. (The first ingredient is generally the majority of the product).

It’s time to go heavy on oil to protect your skin barrier and acid mantle.

You could layer your skincare - serum, moisturiser, and a light layer of natural oil - something like jojoba (a base oil with a molecular structure very similar to skin sebum).

Add a few drops of oil to the palm of your hand, dip fingertips into it, gently pat oil from fingertips all over face. Gently press palms over face to let the warmth of your hands encourage absorption. Skin should not look oily - just glowy

Did you know…….. reflexology is proven to aid sleep?

There are lots of reasons why sleep can be disrupted:

🌷 alcohol - fall asleep quick but wake up
🌷 anxiety - trouble falling asleep
🌷 menopause - 3am wake/up call - hormone hell.

To name but a few

Reflexology may help re-set your circadian rhythm and provide a holistic route back to restful sleep.

You won’t know til you try it!

Therapists will ask your level of exercise during a consultation - we’re not being nosy, it is building up a picture of how we can best help you. But, we understand that you may ‘over-estimate’! Haha!

Well, here’s some motivation!

Make ‘more movement’ one of your resolutions for 2026.

Moving more is:

🌷 good for your bones
🌷 good for your heart
🌷 good for your lungs
🌷 good for your muscles
🌷 good for your balance
🌷 good for your mental health (more brownie points if your movement is walking in nature)
🌷 good for your overall wellbeing

Walking in nature is probably one of the most beneficial ways of moving your body - it’s very grounding, gives you a dose of Vit D, releases endorphins (feel-good hormones) and also does all of the above.

And, its legal and free! Why don’t we do more of it? After all, ‘movement is medicine’.

If you’re tied to a desk during daylight hours, either get a break during lunch, outside if possible or, last resort, do some indoors exercise.

I recommend Pahla B on YouTube, 20+ mins of moderate exercise suitable for menopausal women. You must be able to gift your body 20mins daily, surely.

Make the place your soul lives a priority in 2026

We are ‘wintering’! Slowing down, turning inward, reflecting and planning.

If your new year resolution is something like ‘looking after myself more’ what does that look like to you?

Better self-care, physically, mentally and spiritual?

Physically:
🌷 may mean cooking from scratch more, less take aways and cleaning up your diet
🌷 may mean moving your body more - doesn’t need to be formal exercise in a gym though
🌷 may mean taking time to moisturise after bathing
🌷 may mean less gel polish and letting nails recover
🌷 may mean less ‘faux’ (nails, lashes, tan) and more ‘real’

Mentally:
🌷 being more kind to yourself
🌷 being ok with feeling ‘uncomfortable’
🌷 listening to your inner child (voice)
🌷 saying ‘no thanks’ more
🌷 letting go of draining people
🌷 doing more of what makes your heart sing

Spiritually:

🌷 find a group where you feel connected
🌷 deepen existing friendships, let go of superficial ones
🌷 go out in nature - we are but one small part of

And, (you knew it was coming!)
Reward your amazing body with at least one holistic treatment a month
