Working with the energies of the moon cycles has been something that has supported me massively over the years. I use this time to harness potent energy and also as a monthly check in and reflection point to help me stay aligned and in my truth.

As a Pisces Sun, Cancer Moon and Scorpio Rising (only just found this out recently), it makes sense I am massively affected by the moon with all these watery signs in my chart. 

I have created this ritual for the Full moon for you weaving in the beautiful Louisa B Apothecary New Moon Gift Set . I was gifted this set from Louise and it is amazing. Although this gift set has been crafted for the new moon you can use these products to support you at both full moon and new moon. But because I can't wait to use them and we have the full moon on Monday 12th May and it is known as the flower moon I think the timing is perfect.

The festive season and black friday are getting bigger and more excessive each year. Through this blog I’m going to share some tips and ideas so you can enjoy this time,  save some money and add more joy and peace to your festive season. 

We are exposed to so much these days, bloggers, bloggers, youtube, emails, socials. I love watching/reading these as much as the next person, getting seasonal ideas and inspiration but knowing where to stop and what's right for you as an individual isn't easy when you are exposed to so much noise. 

Shopping to excess used to be my go to, you maybe never knew this but when I was younger I was actually on the BBC series the Bank of Mum and Dad due to my shopping and debt. 

Now I am a lot more financially savvy and have learnt the lesson. We often shop to fill emotional needs such as connection, joy, happiness and we are trying to cultivate this through our purchases. But since emotions only last around 90 seconds in the body that will be a w...

December Ritual

Are you ready to design your best year yet? Christmas can invoke so many emotions from joy, sadness, anxiety, loneliness and peace. Why not turn the festive season into something to truly celebrate and enjoy

've created this wee ritual and reflection following on from a really rubbish last Christmas. Last Christmas was sad, cold and far from festive. This year I'm switching it up. Want to join me? Grab Your favourite festive oil. Pop a drop in your palms and take a deep inhale.

Lets look at how you want your Christmas and New Year to feel. Get clear on how you want to show up. Set some intentions, kick back and enjoy!

Find a quiet space. Grab a pen, paper and a warm drink. Here’s some questions to write and reflect on:

How was your November?

What do you need to celebrate, what was successful?
