Today began with a recap of the last 2 days, followed by a multiple choice test to anchor our knowledge. A moment to realise just how much we’ve absorbed: from safety and set-up to scent, steam and structure.

And then we stepped fully into it with the rest of the day dedicated to Aufguss rituals - bringing everything together in real time.

Greeting our guests, outlining our sessions.
Holding the space, creating and managing the löyly through ice balls, towel and fan techniques.
Layering in scent, sound and moments of meditation.

Each session was unique - shaped by our individual energy, creativity and rhythm.

There’s something incredibly powerful about guiding a room through heat, breath and release. About moving with intention. About creating a shared experience that helps people soften and reconnect. We closed the day with thoughtful feedback and Deborah handing out our certificates - a moment of celebration.

Thank you Deborah & Judith What a journey. Deeply grateful.

Day 2 of Sauna Master Training

Today we moved into scent as we began weaving in aromatherapy oils, resins & the ice balls. Learning how scent rises with the steam, how it shifts the energy in the room, how it can gently uplift or deeply ground.

Listening to the ice balls sizzling and melting over the stones, releasing waves of fragrance in layers rather than all at once. A beautiful reminder that sauna is a full sensory ritual.

And of course, more practical time in the sauna. More towel work. More confidence building. Rather unexpectedly, we also learned about the sauna elf aka the guardian of the sauna.

I’m loving how this training blends precision and intuition - science, soul and a sprinkling of magic.

Feeling grateful, inspired and very happy 💖

Day 1 of Sauna Master Training with Deborah and I'm on a sauna high!

What a setting to begin this journey - Judith's beautiful over looking St Andrews Bay - sea air, space to breathe and the most incredible energy in the room.

I feel so grateful to be learning alongside such a brilliant group of people, guided by an inspiring teacher who blends tradition, precision and pure passion for the ritual of sauna.

Today was all about foundations:
Understanding the fundamentals
Safe sauna set-up
Respecting heat, space and energy
And receiving my very first Aufguss towel!

Learning those first towel techniques felt like stepping into a new rhythm - the flow, the intention, the movement of heat through space. Part performance, part meditation, part sensory experience.

There’s something so powerful about the combination of ritual, storytelling, scent & music. About creating moments that help people pause, breathe, release and reconnect.

This feels aligned. This feels exciting. This feels like the beginning of something very special.

When an email from M&S landed in my inbox about their NEW minimal-ingredient food range, it made me pause and reflect.

For me, minimal ingredients aren’t a trend - they’re my ORIGINAL way of creating. Fewer ingredients, more intention. Skincare that’s kinder, calmer and made with only what skin truly needs.

Our skin absorbs so much of what we apply to it so by keeping things simple, our skincare is suitable for the most sensitive of skin including teenage 🌿

From our 3-ingredient Kind rollerballs to our 8-ingredient eye makeup remover, every formula is rooted in the belief that less really can be more.

JustBe - simply natural

I’m excited to share that I’ll be attending the British Sauna Society’s Sauna Master Training in St Andrews at the end of February - the first time this accredited course is being delivered in Scotland.

This feels like a natural next step for me & JustBe. A chance to deepen my understanding, honour tradition and explore how guided heat, aroma and intention can gently support emotional balance and wellbeing.

Sauna has long been a place of ritual, reflection and reconnection. With the growing popularity of Aufguss in the UK - combining essential oils with rhythmic towel movements, this feels like an ideal time to learn more about the craft.

Over the last couple of years, I’ve experienced a wide range of sauna ceremonies, heat bathing cultures and the quirky felt hats in Munich, Sirmione, Copenhagen and closer to home here in Scotland. Each has offered its own rhythm, pace and sense of presence, yet all share the same quiet invitation: to quiet the mind, focus on the breath and just be.

I've taken the 1st step by signing up. More to come. I hope you’ll join me on the journey ♨️🚿🌿

Today might be widely recognised as Blue Monday, often labelled the most challenging day of the year. If January feels heavy, you’re not alone.

I read a friend’s New Year post “New Year, same you” and it really resonated. This season doesn’t always call for big goals or transformation, sometimes it calls for gentleness, warmth and small, supportive choices.

For me, that’s looked like trying something new that includes Hotpod Yoga, slowing down and taking comfort in the signs that the days are already beginning to stretch.

If today feels a little blue, be kind to yourself 🌷

In the week that’s seen major multiples launch new nutrient-dense food ranges, it felt like the perfect opportunity to explore whether nutrient-dense skincare might be the next evolution of clean beauty. Just as with food, this way of thinking isn’t about doing more, it’s about going back to basics. Choosing fewer, more purposeful ingredients that truly nourish, support the skin barrier and work with the body rather than overwhelm it. Because when skincare is thoughtfully made and rich in what the skin actually needs, less really is enough.

Returning to work after the festive break often brings that quiet urge to reset. After a season of indulgence, many of us crave a cleaner, calmer routine, so in our first blog of the year I ask: how clean is your cleanser?

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed reading a long INCI list (International Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredient) and wondering “what does all this actually do?” this article compares JustBe Botanicals’ 8-ingredient Cleansing Balm with Elemis 'spa in a jar' Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm.
