Wow how amazing is this artwork I’ve just received as a birthday gift 🎁❤️

I love it 🥰

26/05/2026

It’s my birthday today. My day hasn’t been as planned as I had to stay overnight with my mum who is still recovering from her fall.

I did get out for lunch with my husband but the last few weeks have been a struggle hence I’ve not had time to post.

I’m sitting with my mum while she watches tv and I sit writing up notes for my yoga class tonight.

I did laugh when she gave me my birthday card today 😂 I would like to say it’s been a long time since I was that ‘out my face’ as they say in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I didn’t know whether to laugh or be offended 😂😂

The next few weeks will be much the same with looking after mum during her recovery and keeping my husband in check after his surgery.

Thanks to clare for my birthday gift. She is correct that no matter what is happening in life we needed to look after ourselves first. I will enjoy an hour of me time ❤️

Thanks Kath for my yogi birthday card too ❤️

😂😂 now my wee mum is sleeping 😴 she had me up 3 times during the night so I might be sleeping during savasana tonight 🧘‍♀️

I’m keeping it real on fake book oops Facebook 😂 no look at my perfect life on Facebook here 😂

Happy Friday everyone 😉

Just a wee update for you all. I well be absent from the page for the foreseeable future. If I have time I will post but just now I don’t even have time to scratch my nose 😂

My wee mum is still in hospital and she’s had her operation. Now it’s the recovery. I still can’t believe the physio tried to get her up walking last week with a fractured femur.

If I’ve not messaged you privately I’m sorry. I will send you one soon. I’ve also got my husband recovering from surgery too.

The only thing I’m doing is my yoga class.

Once life is back in balance I will get back to posting. Until then look after yourself and stay healthy💛

Happy wellness Wednesday 💛

So my week started really well. I was reenergised after my trip to Aviemore. I was out foraging for some nettles to make tea.

Then 💥 I got woken at 6am yesterday with my mum falling out of bed. It’s a long story so I won’t go into details except I had to phone an ambulance and we sat in A&E until 5pm when she was finally admitted into a ward. She will be in hospital for a few days until they get her pain under control.

If you have a knee replacement please don’t fall onto it 🙈 her knee is actually ok but it’s all the ligaments that are causing the excruciating pain. She has broken a bone in her foot so she can’t walk.

I am grateful to the doctor who saw her in the MAU (fancy name for medical admissions unit) who didn’t just rely on the notes from the doctor at A&E. He checked her over from head to toes.

After spending an 11 hour shift yesterday I had to cancel my yoga class last night🧘‍♀️

I will make it up to you all by recording a yoga nidra and sending you it.

My husband goes into hospital on Thursday for another SC procedure so I’m taking this week away from social media. Once things calm down I will be back. Until then stay safe and be well 💛

Happy Monday 💛

I’ve had a few days away from social media. I’ve had a digital detox walking through the forest in Aviemore 🌳I’m fully recharged and ready for the week ahead.

What are your plans for this week? Have you set new goals?

Whatever you do this week have a blast 🙌💛

There is no better medicine that stepping out in nature. Sylvotherapy or forest bathing is the most healing medicine ❤️

Sylvotherapy is a wellness practice involving mindful, sensory immersion in a forest to improve mental and physical health.

It helps reduce stress, lowers cortisol levels, lowers blood pressure and boosts the immune system.

At its core is focusing on clearing your mind and being fully present. Engaging all 5 senses.

You can slowly walk through the forest, sit or stand and be present, meditate or even hug a tree. Always ask permission first and thank the tree afterwards.

If like me you have hayfever and/or have an allergy to tree pollen then try drinking nettle tea before you head into the forest.

It took me a while to find them but I eventually found nettles, cleavers and some dandelions leaves to make some tea.

Sometimes you just need to unplug yourself from your busy life and head into nature. I’m fully charged up. 🌳🌿🌲

Have a fabulous weekend 🥰

Greetings from Aviemore 🌲🌳🌿

Happy Friday 💛

I’m out walking today up the hills and forests of the Cairngorms 💛

I’m doing a bit of foraging too if I can find nettles to help with my hayfever and some cleavers to make cleavers water. Anything else is a bonus. Dandelions picked yes to for some dandelion infusion 💛

Fingers crossed I find a willow tree to connect with as I’m studying my year long Celtic tree wisdom 🌲

Have a fabulous day 🥰

Happy Earth Day 🌎

My word for today is reconnected. It’s wellness Wednesday so I’m reconnecting with the trees today. 🌳 this month I’m working with willow as I go on my pilgrimage with the Celtic trees 🌲 I can connect in with willow through my willow basket I use for collecting nettles and cleavers. I’m off to Aviemore tomorrow so I’m hoping to find a willow tree to sit under and do some inner work.

On this Earth day why not take off your socks and shoes and really connect in with Mother Earth. You have to charge up your car, phone etc so why not charge up yourself.

How will you celebrate earth day 🤔

Happy national tea day 🫖

Happy tea Tuesday 🍵

Can you take 5 minutes out of your day to do a herbal infusion meditation?

Make whatever tea you are drawn to, cover the cup so you don’t lose all the essential oils. Sit and really ground yourself. Connect in with whatever herb you are using. Close your eyes. Lift the lid off your cup and smell the aroma. Then sip the tea mindfully and really taste it. If it’s not too hot swirl the liquid around your mouth. Feel, sense and savour the sensations on your tongue and gums. Then feel the sensations as the liquid goes down your throat and into your tummy. Note any sensations in your body. Take your time. Afterwards note anything that came up. How do you feel?

I’m connecting with nettle this week. Picking the top few leaves from the nettle plant is enough for your cup. Nettle is great if you suffer from hayfever. I’m starting early this year drinking nettle. So I’m experimenting on myself. I will keep you posted.

Last night my husband lifted up my glass jar I keep my digestive blend in (basically CCF tea with fenugreek added). He shook the jar and said I will see how I feel by the end of the week adding this to my porridge 🫢 oops 😬😂😂😂😂😂😂
I laughed so hard I nearly pee’d myself 😂😂😂
The t**t has been watching the late Dr Michael Morley’s podcasts and he advised to take linseed/flaxseed as a natural remedy to help lower cholesterol. So I gave him a teaspoon of ground flaxseed in this porridge. Fast forward to yesterday morning and he saw my glass jar of tea and thought that was the flaxseed 🤨 I said to him did you not notice the hard seeds 🙈 I called him a t**t a few times 😂😂

I’m not sure I would enjoy porridge with cumin, coriander and fennel on top with walnuts and raisins 🤪

Let me know what tea you are drinking today and if you take 5 minutes out of your day to really connect with the plant you are drinking.

Enjoy your day 🥰

Good morning and happy Monday 💛

Did you know that herbs like hawthorn and tulsi can actually help calm chronic inflammation in the body? 💛

Herbalists have leaned on these plants for centuries, and now modern research is showing just how powerful they can be, from supporting the heart and easing digestion, to helping with stress, headaches, and even gum health.

One of the simplest (and most delicious) ways to work with them is in tea. 🍵 or a herbal infusion to give it its proper title.

🌿 Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) supports the heart, eyes, and digestion while calming inflammation throughout the body.
🌿 Tulsi (holy basil, Ocimum sanctum) is a sacred Ayurvedic herb that eases stress, soothes digestion, and supports the immune system.

Together, they make a calming, heart-centered blend that’s both grounding and uplifting.

Here’s how to make it:

Hawthorn + Tulsi Tea
✨ 3 g dried hawthorn flowers and leaves
✨ 1 g dried tulsi leaves
✨ 12 oz hot water

Grind the herbs in a pestle and mortar just before steeping, pour over hot water, cover, and steep for 3–10 minutes. Strain, sip, and enjoy. (A little honey makes it extra cozy!) 🍯

This blend is simple, affordable, and deeply nourishing, perfect for bringing a little calm into a busy day.

I have lots of dried hawthorn flowers that I picked months ago but I’ve had to buy dried tulsi. Now I have to be patient for my tulsi seeds to grow. Each day they are getting bigger🙌

Here is Scotland hawthorn flowers aren’t out yet as we are a few weeks behind the south of the UK. That’s why foraging and keeping records is essential. Writing when you harvested the flowers, drying them and putting them in airtight jars allows you to use them all year round.

Now I’ve finished my herbal shamanism and flower codes course I’m finding it much easier to connect into the spirit of the plant and its folklore. Plants can teach us so much. Mixing in my Ayurvedic knowledge I’m try to stay as healthy as possible as I age. By using herbs as a preventative for things like cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, cancers and Alzheimer’s.

Another fabulous way to connect with the plant and its healing properties is by doing a tea meditation. Sit with your cup smell the aroma of your tea and really connect with the spirit of whatever tea you are drinking. Take ten minutes out of your day, sip your tea and be mindful.

Let me know if you try this tea 🍵
