🎄 Christmas Recipe for Self-Care

✔️ 1 cup of quiet moments
(To reset your nervous system and breathe.)

✔️ 3 tablespoons of forgiveness
(For others, and for yourself.)

✔️ 2 heaped spoons of boundaries
(Because “no” is a full sentence.)

✔️ A generous sprinkle of rest
(Without guilt, without rushing.)

✔️ 1 handful of fresh air
(To clear the head and soften the shoulders.)

✔️ 2 teaspoons of asking for help
(Even when you’re used to “doing it all.”)

✔️ A pinch of perspective
(To remember what truly matters.)

✔️ 1 scoop of joy-filled small things
(Warm socks, candles, a walk, a laugh.)

✔️ And a dusting of compassion
(For the tired, brilliant human doing their best. ❤️)

The big reveal!!!!!

This is what the Wellbeing Calendar looks like!!!

I'm blown away by the support I have received for these! Thank you so much! There are now only 4 (yes 4!!!!!) left!!!!

I was nervously excited to deliver some yesterday and to see the reaction upon opening. I was thrilled when it was received in the way I intended 💕
So much hard work has gone into making my idea become reality, and it really is just me behind the scenes beavering away to get them all made.

When the last 4 have gone, that'll be it for a wee while, this little elf needs a break too!

My hope is that it helps get someone through a difficult month, in particular January. It is also that they realise how amazing they are and that they gain something positive from the 28 days, and hopefully beyond!!!!

Thank you, everyone, once again for your support. You have no idea what it means to me.

When you can't get the size you need, you just have to make it yourself!

A lot of the wrapping in my Wellbeing Calendars is handmade. Just a little touch to make it more personal!

The big reveal of the finished Calendars is coming soon! I can't believe how popular they've been 😊

Thank you to everyone who has purchased so far!

With all the upheaval of the last few days, I forgot to post this!

Another course completed relating to hair care, aromatherapy, and lipid oils.

I'm looking forward to formulating products for specific hair problems. If you need or would like to try anything, let me know!

It has been a very busy few days!!! There are no other words for it.

Last week was heavy emotionally, as I worked my final days in 2 locations where I've been based for 4 years.

I had a volunteer carers therapy day on Friday (in the midst of that horrible rain), followed by a Christmas dinner and award evening for the running club - I even won a wee award for running 50miles in 11.5 hours. My other work on Saturday, with some midnight running afterwards supporting my good buddy on his Miles for Meals challenge. A quick look around the Angels Among Us exhibition in Magheralin Parish Church on Sunday.

Monday, also a very emotional day for me, became a day for making candles and balms. Some to order, and some available to buy (more info to follow for that!)

Tuesday saw me inducting my replacement, followed by more product making at home.

Tomorrow has me starting in my new work location - Craigavon Hospital Cancer Unit. I am nervous and a bit excited. Change doesn't come easy at my age, so again, it has been playing on my mind. I think I need to try some Bach Remedies tomorrow, such as Walnut for protection through change, Elm for overwhelm, Larch for lack of confidence, and I'm thinking Mimulus for the fear! Oh, and as my mind and body feel tired and drained, perhaps some Olive as well.

If you got to the end of reading this, thanks for hanging in there! I'll check in again as soon as I can.

Have a great day! See you soon!
