Oil your dreams will come true this winter!

Hello my dears, I have comprised a list of my favourite ways to use your most treasured essential oils this season.  THE LIST 1.) TO BATHE, OR NOT TO BATHE? IS THAT EVEN A QUESTION? Unsurprisingly, the top of my list for winter involves a steaming hot bath. Heaven, right? Even better when you add a fragrant element, like essential oils. What most people don't know is that adding essential oils straight into to your bath water, will do more harm than good! As oil and water don't mix, you run the risk of having undiluted and potentially spoiled essential oils bonding directly with your skin, which may cause irritation. To avoid this, use a dispersant! It allows the essential oils...

Winter is Coming

Winter is a time for seeking a comforting, warming and positive environment. Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches us the importance of living in harmony with the seasons so we may create a better balance between our bodies and the external environment. These modifications can include physical aspects such as diet and exercise, but also includes support and inner positivity of our emotions and spiritual needs. As it’s no secret that TCM encompasses a holistic outlook, it brings us to examine the fundamental internal and external changes we can make to aid us in getting the most out of ourselves in each season.

The Zodiac

If there is one interest I can trace back to my childhood (apart from singing) it would be my fascination with 'The Zodiac' and astrology. My mother used to own books upon shelves of astrology information, from the science of the planets, down to the western meets eastern fusion of Zodiac signs. I started reading and learning about astrology from the age of six, and my unusual interest made me the brunt of many strange looks from the mothers of my friends whom I often 'typefied'.
