Autumn Healthy Tips:
to help protect you from coughs and colds, use our “help me, i’m feeling under the weather” blend to create a anti viral, antibacterial, antimicrobial layer of protection. Use the blend at home, work and even in your car. The room spray is handy to keep by the door, a quick shake and 2 bursts before you leave the house will fill your airways with the scent of peppermint, tea tree, eucalyptus, lavender and tangerine. Enjoy the candles and diffusers in your home to help you breathe easier, the breathe easy therapy balm is ideal to apply to your chest if you are unlucky with colds or blocked sinuses and apply the massage oil to keep your skin moisturised.
Use our antibactieral soy wax melts to create a head clearing scent in your home
And finally :
October is a beautiful month, full of colour. Try to get out for walks as much as possible, its good for your mood, improves your fitness, clears your head and helps you to feel happy
This week (1st to 8th) is National Vegetarian Week. Eating a plant based diet has been proven to increase our wellbeing and is also kind for our planet, try and go one step further and eat organically grown and processed food. Batch cook and freeze as much as possible.
October 5th is also National Badger Day. I love badgers, they are having a terrible time with this unlawful cull that must stop. If you want to help, please send Steve Reed an email demanding him to put a stop to this and any future culls, have a look at the Badger Trusts website to see how you can help. I am lucky to have badgers visit my garden every evening, they are the best creation and deserve to live a long happy life.
With Halloween happening at the end of the month, I know that everyone that reads this blog agrees that decorating your home with these false webs is dreadful, but please try and convince your neighbours not to add it to hedges and trees.
