If you’ve ever taken a walk around the countryside of Catalunya, the probability of an aloe vera plant appearing on the route is less than far fetched. In fact, the Mediterranean climate is so warm and dry that we usually benefit from a very happy harvest. Not only does the aloe vera plant tend to…

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…
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…
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….
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….
