Taking the opportunity to enjoy the sun and fresh air after a little shopping trip over the water.
Building up the vitamin D and having sometime to relax and chill.

This year is certainly going quickly. Can’t believe we are starting the second quarter of the year.
Lovely to see the nights getting lighter and hopefully we’ll start seeing a little more sunshine.
Hope April is good to you all.

Just a little reminder that I am closed for the Easter Weekend.

One of the five key benefits of reflexology is improving wellbeing - whether it is feet, face, hands or ear reflexology.

Reflexology is not a diagnostic tool or a cure for illness, but it can help us sleep better, release tension, reduce stress, improve mood and improve general wellbeing.

You are also giving yourself time-out from your busy life. Time just for you and no one else.

Its a treatment if your self conscious about your body all you have to do is take off your socks and shoes, don’t like your feet then you have your hands or face as an alternative.

What’s your favourite type of reflexology and how do to feel after your treatment. Lets me know in the comments below.

A beautiful sunset to end a lovely week in the salon.
It’s been a busy week with lots of lovely clients and treatments.
One thing from this week that I thought I should just mention is the use of essential oils at home.
Essential oils can be very therapeutic as well as giving off wonderful aromas. But they can also be quite dangerous when used incorrectly.
Always blend the essential oils with a carrier before applying to the skin - check the amount of drops per ml. Less is more with essential oils.
If you’re using lavender oil to help you sleep - again you only need a few drops. Too much may cause headaches or other symptoms.
The same applies to diffusers etc, only use the recommended number of drops suggested by the manufacturer. Remember if using a diffuser consider others sharing the household or working area - not everyone responds well to aromas, especially asthmatics. Pets can also be affected by the oils.
Certain citrus oils such as lemon and bergamot can also be photosensitive, so especially this time of year avoid using them on the skin and going out in the sun.
Have a lovely weekend and see you back in the salon on Sunday.

What an absolutely beautiful day to visit Tynemouth. Can’t believe how hot it is - 24degrees when we first got in the car and now a steady 20degrees on the way home.
Factor 50 out and I am already saying it’s too hot! Never happy, but it is lovely to see the sun and that people seem to be happier.
Finishing the day of at Minchella’s with their new Cherry &. Chocolate Sundae.
Make the most of the sun today.

As we celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements women have made and continue to make, just take a few minutes to think about the women in your life and the contribution they have made to the person you are today and perhaps how you influence other women.

One of my favourite days of the year. As some of you will know I love books and I have a very eclectic mix of cookery, chocolate and complementary therapy books. But today is the one day that David Burns buys me a book without any complaint.

This lovely little ritual started when we worked at the bank many years ago, David got a book free for me and after then we used to go to Borders and buy one.
So I have made the choice and it’s on its way!

Do you love books? If so what is your favourite - pop it in the comments below.

I’m out of the salon tomorrow- not to read my book, but I am delivering a reflexology workshop.

Enjoy your day x
