Have you ever reflected on your morning routine? I mean, really watched every step you make, every breath you take and every thought that submerges? I tried it for size this week and found it a fascinating exercise. An eye opener in fact. The way I did it was by consciously watching every detail of…

Following flow with the help of our reaffirming serum
This March, rain or shine, I spent at least one hour per day sitting on my terrace. And each day that I made my entrance, I was greeted by the tiled flower pots, the garden lanterns and flower buds waiting, in tiny ball-shaped sizes, to flower. As the days passed and I found old leaves…
Healing inner pain – a helping hand from Rishikesh, India
It was just the other day that I toppled over crying. Not with a baby crocodile tear but a river flowing o’er me. After a few minutes of enjoying this light release, the river eventually lost its charm and transformed itself into a swamp of heavy pains and inflamed skin. “Was it normal to cry…
Gratuity Where Gratuities Due
Each month and I suppose we could say each day, someone, somewhere provides us with an opportunity to celebrate. Now isn’t that a noble thing to do? So, for the sake of keeping the vibes of our pharmacy in good shape, we decided to join in the celebration of ‘World Gratitude Day’ this month by…
What the Greeks taught us about wellness
This summer, I left our beloved Barcelona to delve into the culture of another place. I decided to scurry over to our neighbouring country, Greece. Mostly because I was particularly interested in how they lived, what they may have inherited from the classic antiquity and what implications that had on their wellbeing. In other words,…
Embody the Healing Light at Midnight
I sat last night on a roof terrace with a very dear friend Benjamin Swatez. This friend of mine is very special because his heart is explosive and his mind is amazing. As we usually do, we deep dived into a sentimental chat and happened to land on the full moon. Together we realised that…
Let’s Join Together in a Verse of Happiness
Whilst I was at the beach last month I decided I’d set myself a daily task of writing a verse. What this task did was guide me to the people, places and pages that opened my heart to my blessings. Now what I’m going to do is share those blessings with you to urge you on…
To travel is to be gifted
Our beloved Hans Christian Andersen delivered many fairytales that have left a mark on our hearts and minds. But it was his love of travel that inspired my journal as I took a trip to the UK. While I perched in the leather aisle seat of my flight to the Great British Isles and enjoyed…
Gautama Buddha taught me to inspect and respect my skin
Today is the day in the calendar that marks the birth, enlightenment and death of Gautama Buddha, a man whose teachings encouraged me to let go of my shadows this morning. Incidentally, I felt inspired to inspect my skin and look within. As I saw my tea stained lips below my subtle hair flicks and…
A pilgrimage into the unknown
What does it mean to be spiritual? What does it mean to be connected with your own ways? And what does it mean to look at yourself just as you’re about to set off on a pilgrimage into the unknown? I’ll tell you what it means to me. It means that I’m going to pack…
Walk this way for our great offers on display
There is a particular question that I’ve been faced with in recent months, and that is, ‘to have or to be?’ While I look around the glory of my home, each and every item that rests in its place has a special reminder of what it means to simply be. To be the friend, to…
We hold hands for International Women’s Day
I’m snowed in and I feel like Im part of the book from Stephen King. If you don’t know him, he is a real King where story telling comes in. He titles the book Misery. But what a tripe destiny to be the one that is not free. The plot thickens as the main character…
