Did you know we have updated our recycling scheme

Did you know we have updated our recycling scheme to ensure we can recycle as MUCH as possible? We know a lot of local councils do not take all plastics so we have moved to work with ENVA to ensure that Weleda packaging does not go to landfill.
.
All you have to do is save up items which you cannot recycle kerbside and send your empties back to me. Not only do your empties reduce landfill, Weleda will be planting trees for every box received. I will send them directly to Weleda where they will take care of the rest! FAQs and more information are available here – https://bit.ly/3FMf3W2

It's been a while since I've done a #weledafavouri

It's been a while since I've done a #weledafavourite5 post. This is my combo from today nursing a little one with a fever and headache (covid symptoms but not testing positive yet).
.
💚 Bryonia for the head pain, the first symptom L complained about. If you have kids you know they never get headaches. He was so calm as he sees me deal with migraines. He declined an ice pack and didn't like the feel of a wet flannel so went back to sleep after taking Bryonia with the diffuser on.
.
💚 Belladonna for the fever. 39.2 at its peak, dropped to normal after his relaxing bath and around 38.2 currently. I'm never worried about fevers as it's the body's natural response to infection. If we cool the body too much the virus drives in deeper. He's warm go the touch still but has no headache and feels comfortable from sleeping it off each time it peaked (4 naps today!). He's been having his homeopathic remedies every 2 hours.
.
💚 Water, water, water in a bottle so I can see how much he's drinking. When there's a fever the body sweats to cool you down but you may not see moisture on the skin or feel sweaty. Luca has drank two 500ml bottles today but has only needed one small wee. If I wasn't conscious of pushing fluids and making it easy for him to respond to his thirst signals he'd be dehydrated and feel worse I'm sure.
.
💚 Prunus elixir to fortify and comfort during sickness or times of stress. Added to his second water bottle.
.
💚 Pine bath milk to revive body and soul especially with cold/flu/sinus symptoms (Luca fell asleep in the bath and found such relief for his headache being in water).

"Sleep solves everything" is a mantra I wholeheart

"Sleep solves everything" is a mantra I wholeheartedly believe in. When I get enough sleep I make better decisions, feel calmer and escape the dreaded hormonal migraines. I find my Weleda products such a support for a relaxing wind down before bed. And if sleep does evade me I have natural medicines I can lean into to quiet the mind and get my body back on track.
.
To read 10 tips for achieving a restful nights sleep follow the link
https://www.weleda.co.uk/mastering-the-art-of-sleep
.
"We all know how great we feel when fully rested, and how ghastly we feel when sleep deprived. For some of us, sleeping deeply is easy. But for others, sleep is elusive and day after day we build up a sleep deficit, becoming irritable, less productive,ill, even overwhelmed. So, learning how sleep works and ensuring that we work with our natural rhythms to ensure good sleep and the rapid eye movement phases of sleep is essential to make our lives work well, and to stay healthy physically and mentally." - Dr Rosy Daniel, GP & Integrative Health Coach

The end of a birthday and the realisation that I'm missing from the photos as usual! So a quick snap in the bathroom before bed with the boy who made me a Mother a decade ago.
.
Beautiful Euan. My light in the dark. My merry maker. One extraordinary human being. He's my why and my everything ("..and Luca too" Euan would say if still up "..and Dad too" Luca would add). Yes all of you!
.
If we had a family mantra it would be "sleep solves everything and love is always the answer". Euan's had the happiest of birthdays and can't wait for his birthday sleepover with friends at the weekend.

Do you believe in serendipity (happy accidents)? I

Do you believe in serendipity (happy accidents)? I do. When a friend asked me if I could support a wellness week at my local hospital I was happy to say yes. She put me in touch with the person co-ordinating activities and as visitors aren't allowed in I put together a self care basket. It contains some Weleda sachets and oils for hand massages and a Tisserand aromatherapy de-stress spray. I've made a little booklet with wellness tips in and instructions for how to give each other a hand massage. I've also included a discount voucher for a treatment which staff can use themselves or pass on to family members and gifted a treatment for the raffle.
.
So what is serendipitous about that you're wondering? I didn't know which team were being supported by my gifts when I started putting the basket together. It turns out it's the Neo-natal intensive care unit at Gloucester Royal. The basket is being picked up tomorrow, on my son's birthday, when I always reflect on how he was made and saved by the NHS (fertility treatment baby, difficult birth and then in hospital for a week). I'm so thankful for NHS staff who care for patients as they would their own family. And it doesn't take a lot to imagine how hard it is for family's who have to leave their babies in hospital and go home to their own beds at night. I couldn't be happier to send some love back to the NICU angels x

Happy Friday everyone. What a chiller it is. I hope you're warm and well.
.
One of my errands today was taking this box of recycling to the Post Office to return to Weleda in Derbyshire. I'll be making a reel about what's inside but for now here's a pic of my little helpers before the box went into the car. There are nearly 100 empty tubes in there so thank you to everyone who returns their shower wash and skin food tubes to me. You can now also start collecting pumps, sprays and lipbalm sticks as well x

Join us tonight for the exclusive launch of our NEW book - Natural Wellness Every Day - The Weleda Way.

Meet the authors and find out how this complete guide to health and beauty will inspire you to activate your own wellness from within, every day, and care for the planet at the same time.

Claire Hattersley will introduce the benefits of incorporating nature into our daily lives, illustrating that what’s happening out there in nature – in the realms beyond our four walls, from the moon’s orbit to the rising sun and the stars beyond – affects us too in all kinds of ways.

Evelyn Liddell will share some of the practical solutions that nature holds to everyday health and skin dilemmas, promoting health and wellbeing throughout the seasons.

And Elizabeth King will offer insights into how nature’s wisdom can strengthen and support the skin, highlighting plants which can regulate and soothe the skin, as well as self-care rituals to bring inner and outer harmony.

Join us via zoom (linked in bio) or on the Weleda Facebook page LIVE at 6pm today

I had the most beautiful Weleda massage experience

I had the most beautiful Weleda massage experience today with my friend @amandajbucher . Weleda have been developing their own accredited facial massage course with holistic facialist @_.elizabethking._ .
.
It's such a beautifully gentle, nourishing experience. Cocooning and restorative. It's the most relaxation I've ever experienced without actually falling asleep (you know that drifty there-not-there feeling).
.
Amanda mentioned including a mask in the process this time so it was the perfect opportunity to crack open my new pot of Rose and Frankincense clay mask from Amphora Aromatics. It was easy to apply and didn't dry with that hard, tight feeling that some clay masks can. It smelt divine as you can imagine.
.
I always seize any chance to take pictures on Amanda's gorgeous dining table 💚

Hello everyone. I wanted to say a big thank you for all the orders made through my webshop in the last 3 months. I plant a tree for every item sold and have planted 64 trees with Treesisters this quarter. That's 152 trees now since February 😊 (+52 more added by Weleda who doubled our donation in May). Hooray for working together to care for the planet x

I look forward to hearing from you if I can help you with a relaxing morning, afternoon or now evening massage. I use beautiful oils from @weledauk, @amphoraaromatics and @tisseranduk in my treatment room. I also use essential oils daily for my own family so please don't hesitate to ask how oils can help you and your family stay well this winter.

.
These are some of my favourites:

.
💚Birch juice to support the kidneys to detox and cleanse the body

.
💚Prunus elixir and Prunus 6x to re-energise and fortify during times of stress, after illness and post natally.

We have such wonderful training as wellbeing advis

We have such wonderful training as wellbeing advisors in order to advise on the broad range of wellbeing products and homeopathic medicines. Many of the Weleda resources are in video format so it's easy to listen in while tidying up, making dinner etc. This suits my learning style as I have better recall when I hear information than when I read it and I love the feeling of learning from friends, albeit virtually.
.
That said I do love a book too for dipping into with a cup of tea and finding a little nugget of wisdom just when you need it. This beautiful Wellness Everyday book distills 100 years of wellbeing wisdom into one book and has been a heart filled collaboration between Weleda's director, head gardener and skincare facialist. The book is being launched on Thursday 13th at 6pm and you are welcome to come and join us to find out how it will help you develop your own self care practices through the seasons. Don't we all want to feel brighter, healthier and more resillient going into 2022!
.
ps. Apparently the foreward in the book is dedicated to the 700+ wellbeing advisors around the country. How lovely is that!
.
"Weleda Advisors are the wisdom keepers who are the life blood of Weleda and share their stories and experiences so generously". 👏

I'm so happy to share this news with you. We have a new recycling scheme to raise money to plant trees.
.
We've found that not all kerbside collections recycle spray pumps, nozzles, roller balls etc and you may not have a local Terracycle collection point in your area. So we have implemented a simple new scheme for returning all recyclable packaging to Weleda head office in Derbyshire.
.
💚 Save your Weleda empties.
.
💚 Return them to your local Weleda wellbeing advisor or collect them up yourself
.
💚 When a box is full (min 10 items) package it up, download and print the Freepost Weleda Recycling address label from the company website
.
💚 Affix your label and drop off the package at your nearest Post Office when it’s convenient.
.
💚 Easy peasy! To learn more, head over to the @weledauk page to see the link in Bio.

Farewell 2021, you've been everything I could never have imagined and more! You were the year in which I qualified as an Aromatherapist while juggling children at home and lockdown restrictions. We went through so much together but it's time to part company!
.
I will be taking appointments again when my boys return to school on Wed 5thJanuary. If you'd like an Aromatherapy massage to relax your mind and soothe your body please get in touch 🌿. These are some of the beautiful oils I use in my treatments

🧡 Seabuckthorn oil, perfect for skin that needs Intense hydration and replenishment, this oil helps prevent moisture loss as temperatures drop.
.
💜 Lavender is the go to plant for relaxation. Lavender oil aids peaceful sleep, eases aches and calms the mind. This beautiful formula locks in moisture for dry skin.

I love making Soul Soothing Salts as presents. I don't even need to blend my own using my Aromatherapy essential oils. Weleda massage oils are so beautiful you can just stir them in and voila! These soul soothing salts contain a beautiful cocktail of seabuckthorn oil and lavender oil and smell divine
.
METRO magazine had this to say about Weleda oils recently.
.
“Holistic medicine believes that applying high-quality organic body oils over winter forms a protective covering and gives a warming and invigorating effect – especially beneficial as we suffer colds and viruses. Weleda’s range of oils including the highly nourishing Sea Buckthorn are like a blanket in a bottle”

I finally made it to Louise's fabulous Zero Waste

I finally made it to Louise's fabulous Zero Waste ill shop today. I went to collect our DIY cracker pieces and say 'Hi' after connecting first on IG. I wasn't organised enough to take some empties with me so I'll be heading back in January to use the refill station for washing up liquid and laundry detergent. We already use planet friendly brands but it does still add to our plastic recycling pile. The great thing is you can buy as little or as much as you want. I'm looking forward to trying some new eco brands when I visit in the new year

Love love love Skin Food (which is why we have some beautiful gift options that include each of the 4 products in the range).
.
@stylistmagazine had this to say about the NEW Skin Food Body Lotion!
.
“The original Weleda Skin Food is a cult beauty buy. It’s deeply moisturising, with nourishing oils for dry and very dry skin. The lighter version is excellent for normal to dry skin types, too. So, when Weleda launched a body lotion version of their beloved Skin Food Body Butter this month, well, it was a good day for skincare lovers everywhere. This creamy formulation smells of sweet orange and lavender and absorbs quickly without the greasy film other moisturisers can have. Consider it your changing-seasons saviour when dry elbows and knees need that little bit more love.”
