How to Stay Well in the Heat.

We are having a heatwave!
I love it, and as a generally chilly person, it is the ultimate luxury to feel so warm. But we all need to adapt a little to keep ourselves well.

Getting enough water is paramount of course. You don’t need to drink continuously, but letting yourself get thirsty isn’t a good idea. If you feel drained and tired by the afternoon reach for a glass of water, take a refillable metal bottle out with you and to work ( no need to add to the plastic problem) Plenty of healthy plant-based foods contain water too, think of cucumber and watermelon.

Sun Screen

Don’t let your skin burn! I like to wear thin, loose, covering clothes over the skimpy things, rather than sunscreen, altho I do use some Neals Yard wild Rose sunscreen on my face:

Facial Mist

No nasty chemicals, and smells amazing! I get prickly heat - an itchy rash, from non-natural sunscreen, as does my daughter. So it's a no-brainer to avoid it. Cold Aloe Vera Gel is the best after- sun, and I also keep my Neals Yard White Tea Facial mist in the fridge as an instant cooling moisture boost:

Vitamin D is the great gift from Sunshine, we store it up in our bodies, through the skin's exposure to the suns rays, as well as from various food sources.

It’s paramount for good health, having a significant effect on the immune system, bone health, lowering cancer risk and being deficient has been linked to autoimmune disease. So let yours, and your kids skin see some sun for about half an hour a day before plastering on the sunscreen. Fill up your stores, to see you through the grey months.

Keep well! XXX

Wellness Coaching coming soon / Spring Offer and other news

Wellness Coaching coming Soon.
Spring offer, and other news.

Hello everyone,
I'm so excited to tell you. I will soon be offering Wellness Coaching!
It's almost ready for you folks. I'm working with a client right now, but need to get everything straight, and must decide on the how’s, costs and looks of it all. My head is buzzing with ideas and plans.
You will, as always be the first to know once it is all in place.

Spring is here and the little pear tree in the garden is in full bloom. I am slowly getting all the pots in the garden re-potted with bee friendly flowers, so the view from the treatment room will be as relaxing and uplifting as your treatments! The snow has sadly caused the demise of some old favourite plants, but Edie and I have spent a day at the garden centre and re-potting, soon it will be full of flowers again.
So therapeutic to get things tidy, and spend time moving outside, even if it was drizzling with rain.

The new Monstera, or Cheese Plant, is doing so well amongst all the positive energy in the treatment room (and a lot of TLC from me) that its unfurling a brand new leaf as I type.
It feels as if my business is doing the same, I have so many aspects of Wellness which I want to study. I really need to work on clarifying my ideas. A new skills swap may be underway soon to help me with this, which I will tell you all about as soon as I know more!
Do you receive health insurance through your work? If so check to see if there is a Wellness allowance, you can spend it on treatments from me!

The Neals Yard Organic Facials are going down a storm.
Thank you to all of you who have made the most of the £5 off offer. I am going to roll it out to everyone via my facebook page until the end of May so you can still take advantage of it. A real treat, for your soul as well as your skin.
Don't forget you can purchase your favourite products from my consultant site here.

My next Blog post will be all about my own efforts to keep myself well. Be sure to check it out, it will be on my website within the next week or so. Thats all for now, thank you for reading and supporting me! Keep well. xxx
