The blue hue of the moon reflected the dusting of snow we'd had earlier in the day.

Sorry I know I'm no photographer or instagrammer, so please excuse the quality of the picture taken on my phone late last night.
But, hopefully it shows the glow and the surrounding stars.

I love living in an area with no light pollution 🥰

When is the winter solstice?
The science and astronomy behind the shortest day of the year

The winter solstice is the day of the year with the fewest hours of daylight.

In the northern hemisphere this date falls in December every year. In 2025 the winter solstice will occur on Sunday 21 December.

Why is the winter solstice the shortest day of the year?
The apparent position of the Sun in the sky changes throughout the year. During the summer months it rises higher in the sky and is above the horizon for longer. In the winter the Sun's position is lower and its time in the sky is shorter.

This variation happens because the Earth orbits at an angle: it is tilted 23.4 degrees on its axis.

During summer in the northern hemisphere the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun, and therefore this part of the Earth receives more direct sunlight and longer daylight hours. During winter in the northern hemisphere the North Pole is tilted away from the Sun, resulting in fewer daylight hours.

The winter solstice occurs at the point when this tilt away is at its maximum and the Sun is lowest in the sky. This is what gives us the shortest day and the longest night of the year.

If you're in the southern hemisphere the opposite is true: in December the South Pole is tilted towards the Sun, making it summertime 'Down Under'.

Last Sunday, I had the pleasure of attending a massage workshop hosted by in their picturesque cob house. The peaceful atmosphere, complemented by the surrounding trees, made for an ideal retreat. We exchanged self-care tips and learned hands-on massage techniques. Plus, lunch was served and we fed the alpacas!

Thanks again for allowing me to share insights at your beautiful space. 🥰

Skin Toner????

Why do I need it ?

So many of you don`t use a toner. There are common misconceptions regarding toners but I feel it`s main benefit is maintaining healthy skin function.
Toner allows the skin to reach it`s ideal pH level, allowing other products to be
absorbed. This in turn aids hydration, allowing antioxidants to drench your skin with hyaluronic acid.

Toning essence helps to maintain healthy barrier function, so your complexion stays moisturised and protected against environmental aggressors.

The products we use are important. Many toners contain alcohol which can strip the skins of natural oils.
The products I choose are as natural as they can be, ethically sourced and vegan friendly.

Please ask for your consultation.
Thanks Di

It`s true when they say prevention is better than cure.

Feeding our skin with healthy products really does help.

Choosing the correct products, using them consistently and in order they are designed.

I`ve spoken to so many of you who are concerned about ageing, dehydration and various skin problems.

Products alongside drinking the recommended quantity of water and a balanced diet can truly transform how you look and feel.

Why not review your routine, free consultations available.

How do you care for your skin?

Is it a quick wipe and dash, or time spent in front of the bathroom mirror?
Good skincare doesn`t need to take foreevvvverrrr !!

Let me show you how.

I`ll be adding tips and advice on products and skin over the next few days and weeks. But....if you`d prefer a more tailored approach why not book in for a skincare consultation.

Thanks Di
