Holly dolly toys with a selection of our essential oils

We call her Holly dolly. She sees us as we fall down like the rain and rise back up again. She looks at us puzzled as we try to earn and gain. And she can’t stand it when she feels like she’s in a chain. But with Holly dolly there is no blame or shame….

Project your love somewhere swell this Valentine’s day

Shocked and in awe of Alfred Hayes, author of 1954’s book ‘In Love’, I was inspired by his ability to efficiently describe his soul’s desire into a short love story. By way of his projections onto his lover, and following, his blank canvas, I recognised in myself some of the mysteries of the mind of…

A healing kind of poison

Have you ever felt like things have a very mysterious air about them? You drop by a coffee shop and meet a man that sweeps you off your feet when you need it the most? You receive an unexpected cheque in the post when you are desperate to fund your life long dream? You receive…

We wish you freedom and courage for 2018

Just like a new leaf in the book of life, 2017 has been read. And for me, Anneka, the author of this blog, it really was the most mesmerizing page in my own book of life. Far from being boring, my book had nothing to do with successes and riches of the material kind. It…

All that glitters is not gold

Seeing the glory of the Christmas tree occupy the once empty corner of my living room, I look at her through the eyes of a child that once was. The child that falls in love with the flickering lights that reflect and canvass the surrounding walls. The child that is comforted by the delicate touch…

Our feet need our love so take good care of them

The feet are the ones to think about when we need to take good care of ourselves. They are the ones that take you to the real place of love. They are the ones that are your soul. They are the ones that know where you want to go. They are the ones that understand…

Glow with carrot oil cream

Myth and legend talk of the Gods and Goddesses as some distant historic figures. Yet we are all attracted to, and somewhat in awe of these bronzed figures standing solid and strong, looking radiant and invincible and carrying the courage to live their truth. But the reality is, the Gods and Goddesses live within all…

Be lighter with BB cream

Stuff. Is. Stressful…..say many people these days. In the wake of a period of abundance, and a greed we have ironically agreed to, we finally seem to be consciously shifting from a materialistic society of overindulgence to that of a society that is more experientially focused. Living more experientially typically coincides with living more simply….

From Barcelona to Peru: What you need from the pharmacy

We wouldn’t be presumptuous and assume that travelling to Peru would include a visit to the Inca trail. But chances are, that warm embrace from Peruvian Mother Nature will draw in your soul like a loving magnet. She has once again seduced us with her charms and packed us off, with her love and blessings,…

A review of the menstrual cup

In the history of our inhabitation here on earth we seem to have reached a moment (following much destruction) of desired repair. These days, we seem that much more environmentally aware of our modern day habits and their impact on planet earth, than we did in recent history. There is a famous quote by author…

Cherish your winter skin

It’s true what they say……a healthy outside starts from the inside. Perhaps the reason we live with some built in degree of vanity. If our external world reflects our internal world, then how we feel, is a reminder that is staring us in the face, so to speak.            Sure enough,…

Beat hormonal acne

You’ve made it through your awkward teens and vein twenties and checked into your thirties, forties and fifties with grace, elegance and confidence. Your only foreseen beauty challenges are the stamps of life that line your face. But why is it the case that just as you begin to work on accepting your wrinkles, you…
