One of my favourite traditions in Sri Lanka is the offering of flowers in doorways to homes, places of worship, shops, pretty much everywhere!

Watching women in the mornings go out with a woven basket and carefully select different flowers and leaves, bring them back, sit on the floor, fill a brass bowl full of water and create beautiful patterns.

This wasn’t a chore or job, it was ritual.

Something they took time and pride over and everyone who passed complimented or would watch on as she created her piece of art for day.

It is a believed to bring prosperity, blessings, and positive energy. It is often done as a symbolic gesture to welcome guests and create a harmonious atmosphere. Flowers are considered auspicious and are associated with good fortune in many South Asian cultures.

Slow living, surrounded by nature and weaving it into every aspect of your home, food, furniture and decor is something rural Sri Lanka does extraordinarily well.

All efforts may seem futile right now but keeping using your platform, your skills and your words for the people of Palestine. Your voice has more power than you know.

“Even if you didn't meet them, believe me they are humans with souls, stronger, much stronger than you and I.

Even if you didn't meet them, you should be screaming for these people, because like you and I, they deserve to live.

We are not talking about numbers. We are talking about people. People who had dreams”

The Hands ✋🏾

The hands are something are often gets skipped out during a massage. When people think of tension in their body they think back, neck, shoulders, legs.

But what about the hands?

They work relentlessly, on autopilot, doing whatever they are signalled to do.

I believe having your hands massaged is one of the most calming things in life. Trust me, if your hands are truly relaxed then so are you ✨

It’s a beautiful thing to do for loved ones while you’re chillin’ watching telly or for those suffering with arthritis for a little relief ♥️

Back, Palms and Soles is my treatment that I put together to include all my favourite areas in one 45min session.

Books open this evening at 5pm 🕔

∴ 34 ∴

Another year older. People tend to stop celebrating their birthdays after a certain stage and I can see why…

For some, there’s no need for a big party or going out and getting wasted (not that there’s anything wrong with that, at ANY age!) but I get it.

My birthdays for me now have turned into a time of reflection, to look back in the past year or more and think what would ‘Last Year Tara’ think of me today?

Well, she would be proud. Proud of the woman I am becoming and the people I choose to surround myself with. Proud of my little home with and proud of my business and where’s it’s headed.

This is something I need to do for myself as I don’t often talk of my hardships on social platforms or rarely to anyone to be honest but it hasn’t been all…

“oh I’m a “boss bitch” now, and Im living my best life ✌🏾 “

I’ve had some real lows the past year but we move. I can now say I am happier than I have been in a long time, than I ever was in my 20s. Those “Best Years” that everyone talks about. For me they were full of travel, fun & adventures but also insecurity, heartache & loneliness. I used to think I had to choose between settling at home, buying a house, having a “career” or living the life I wanted. Having has changed that. It will give me the freedom to do whatever I want, whenever I want. There’s nothing wrong with wanting a nest fly home to when you need it and I’m grateful I have found the balance. Now to start planning & make it happen!

People usually focus on the start and the end of your story, forget about the human in between ♥️

Anyway, that was an unexpectedly long caption! I’m off to dive in the ocean 🌊

∴ Mauli Rituals ∴

Mauli (मौलि) [more-lee] noun

“Mauli is a celebration of love, nature, tradition, and all that makes life meaningful and worth honouring. Formulated with the healing power of Ayurvedic plant medicine and Aromatherapy; we seek out the finest methods and ingredients for those who respect the power of nature and a pro-active approach to living beautifully – inside and out”



The first time I used it genuinely transported me back to Sri Lanka. The scents of Sandalwood, Turmeric, Rose & Moringa have such a strong nostalgia for me.



Using these ingredients and so many more, Mauli Rituals have teamed with Ayurvedic Practitioners and aromatherapists to create this luxurious, natural line of skincare.



I am so excited to be working with them. The products, the ethics and the story behind the brand aligns with Makara perfectly and I can’t wait for you all to experience the magic that is Mauli.
