For this holiday season give yourself an Energy boost plus enhance deeper sleep. It is a small ritual but with big effects

Standard blank aromatherapy inhaler (cotton wick inside). They’re available online, Amazon or in pharmacy. Keep one for day and one for night

Every 4–6 weeks
Sooner if the aroma fades or smells “flat”

An enlivening tonic With Turmeric, Ginger, Black Pepper and Lemon.

The combination of the turmeric & the ginger is a very anti inflammatory. The Black Pepper enhances the bioavailability by 2000%. Lemon is fighting free radical formation.

Make this delicious drink at home. approx 8 - 1 small cup servings.

INGREDIENTS:

Base Tea:

2 tablespoons fresh grated turmeric root
1 ½ tablespoons fresh grated ginger root
10 grinds black pepper (this increases the potency of the turmeric by 2000%)
8 cups water

For Each Cup:

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, from about half a lemon

1 teaspoon honey, more or less to taste

Method:

1. In a medium pot, combine the ginger, turmeric, black pepper and water. Bring to a simmer. Just before it reaches a boil, reduce the heat and gently simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.

Remove from the heat.

Strain the tea into a large glass container using a fine-mesh strainer; a quart-size Mason jar works well, just don't use plastic!

For each serving, pour tea into a mug and ada the lemon juice and honey to taste. Store the rest of the tea in the refrigerator for up to a week, warming up batches in a pot on the stove.

3 x Things I Do Daily for My Skin

1 - The lime/lemon water cleanse
First thing in the morning before breakfast & coffee/tea.
Drink 700ml of tepid water (minimum) with the juice squeezed from one whole lime or lemon

2 - The YM Skin Cleanse AM/PM.
AM:
One Single Face cleanse:

1) Using a great quality cleansing wash such as organic stone crop face wash or Reome cleanser the Three Suns Balm. I do a 5/10 sec massage over decollate, neck & face. I then take it off with warm water & face cloth

2) Next I apply the super luxury, results driven .life serum and moisturiser. And sometimes I may change it up to try out other products, such as EssentiaA range No4 (their serum & moisturiser).
Currently been trying the REOME Active Recovery Broth - It’s very unique & healing. As well as their Melting cream

All morning routines should be followed with an SPF 30 to 50 - one of your choice. Which should be reapplied through the day if outside.

PM:
Double Face cleanse:

1) First cleanse:

Apply a Pre-cleansing oil - brands such as Environ or lipid cleansing oil. Massage product in to the decollate, neck & face for 20/30 seconds - remove with a warm wet cloth or large damp cotton pads.

2) Second cleanse: Deeper cleanse.

Use any of the Eminence Organics milk cleanser’s or Environ Youth EssentiaA hydrating cleanser. Massage decollate, neck & face for 2 to 3 mins until it has absorbed into the skin, then add warm water, massage few seconds and take off with a wet warm cloth - not cotton wool for this second cleanse.

3 - YM Bespoke Organic Oils.
Apply quality facial oil blends in the evening. It feels very luxurious and calming. In some cases it may be applied in the morning. Especially if you’re using products like Retinols for night.

Apply 5 to 7 drops of my YM bespoke oil to your decollate, neck & face.

My thoughts to people who are still trying to listen….

In running away, in trying to escape the unsettling & nagging feelings of the heart (and soul) it will only start to heal when you finally surrender, listen and go with it.

Be creative and take those risks. 💫💛

Fascia is the connective tissue that wraps every muscle, organ, vessel and nerve in your body. A 3D silk web that wraps every muscle, vessel, and organ.

It’s your body’s invisible architecture — fluid, responsive, alive.

Imagine a 3-dimensional silk web that is fascia. When fascia is dehydrated, inflamed, or stuck, it becomes like sticky cling-film.
Which creates:

- restriction in movement
- a tired look, even if you’ve slept.

When fascia is in a healthy condition, it moves. This is why my face massage works. We don’t only move skin. We hydrate and mobilise fascia. And when fascia glides, the face looks alive again.

Jean-Claude Guimberteau’s Architecture of Human Living Fascia is an extraordinarily visual work.

It’s not a dry anatomy textbook — it’s filled with microscopic and endoscopic photography of fascia alive and moving inside the body. It’s like a living galaxy under the skin.

Under magnification it looks like:

- shimmering, translucent webs
- strands of collagen light
- fluid networks that stretch, pulse, and reorganise as the body moves

Let’s brighten someone’s day every day☀️⭐️ We get a great reward back from it.

I think the best gift you can give someone is your uplifting, generous & happy spirit. I’d love that for myself for sure.

Something to think about. 🤔

We have to do the work. We owe it to both ourselves, to our loved ones and people around us.
I find it exhausting to be around people who are not self aware. Who are judgmental, envious and bitter. There are some who are angry at others because they themselves have a lack.

I know myself that if I feel any hint of envy (which is rare thankfully) then it’s a lack I’m experiencing within myself. It also means I’m not going in the right direction or I feel stuck. That’s the issue with many people I know. They’re stuck in their lack of self belief.

Keep giving ourselves daily mantras. Even repeating it just in our heads.

“Our cups are so full that our cups runneth over “ is taken from the bible.

Meaning we have more than enough and signifying abundance — a reminder that the spirit's blessings are not limited.

I’ve been doing a lot of reading & research on mitochondria. It’s truly absolutely fascinating. I actually had to write up a 5000 thesis paper on this subject of Mitochondria & ATP production it’s for my course work in how essential oils pe*****te the cells membranes and its function.

Mitochondria, is usually described as the “powerhouses” of the cell, but they are so much more than that. They’re deeply intelligent organelles.

Interestingly mitochondrial DNA is inherited almost entirely from our mothers.
Each mitochondrion contains remarkably high levels of melatonin - not just for sleep, but as a potent molecule in protecting against oxidative stress and free radicals.

MELATONIN & MITOCHONDRIAL HEALTH

Melatonin acts as a powerful mitochondrial guardian. It is essential in supporting mitochondrial health by improving ATP production while reducing ROS. (reactive oxygen species)

It is fine tuning how our cells produce energy, repair damage, and defend against oxidative stress.

🧬 What it does:

✅ Reduces oxidative stress (ROS) - keeps cells youthful and stable
✅ Enhances the electron transport chain - better energy flow
✅ Improves the respiratory proton pumps - optimises creation of ATP
✅ Boosts ATP production - more cellular energy
✅ Protects mitochondrial membranes - reduces energy leakage
✅ Activates repair pathways - supports mitophagy & renewal
✅ Stimulates biogenesis - meaning it encourages new, healthy mitochondria
