Simplify September…
I don't know about you but I have found September to be a very interesting month so far with lots of change and things going on. For me, my 17-year-old has just past her driving test and suddenly I find myself not so much needed as I have been and my 18-year-old has finished school and is now on her gap year. All of this is making me look at things differently; trying to embrace the change whilst also dealing with it!
So for this second edition of Beauty in the Barn Lifestyle I wanted to explore how we can simplify September and let go of things we no longer want to carry and pay attention to our wellbeing and self-care.
My absolute do's for simplifing my life….
Meditate and live in the moment.
We can't control the future; things crop up that alter our plans, so I use meditation and try to keep in the moment to help to keep worries and stresses at bay.
Do what matters most importantly to you personally.
I have started saying no to things that aren't important. I've learnt that saying "No" is not a bad word. Focus your energy on the things that you value in life.
Listen to laid back, relaxing music.
I've composed my own playlist on Spotify with a mixture of reiki and wellbeing music that I have on in the background
Socialise with friends and enjoy laughter and easiness.
We all have those friends that nurture us and make us want to be a better person. Time with them leaves us feeling uplifted and re-energised.
Read a book
I highly recommend for this September 'Sixty Minutes' by Tony Salter; a gripping thriller that I could hardly put down!
Take a long walk in the country.
I love walking with my gorgeous dog Max by my side. It helps me feel grounded and reconnects me with nature.
Protect your energy in the best way that suits you.
Every morning I wake up and insert two citrine crystals into my bra (No, I'm not mad!) These protect my solar plexus chakra which is the point of "centering" and where we come to stillness. The solar plexus is said to produce a protective and cleansing energy and can disperse negativity.
Light candles
I always have a candle glowing somewhere in the house. My own "J" candles which I produced in memory of my mum, are natural soy candles with beautiful calming aromas. As anyone who knows me knows, I always have a candle burning as it creates calm surroundings and warms my soul.
October Edition
Welcome to the third edition of Beauty in the Barn Lifestyle which had to be about Halloween. Love it or hate it, it happens every year and I dont know about you but it seems to get bigger and bigger. But I must admit, I love how it brings communities, families and friends all together celebrating with lots of fun and parties to be had for all ages to enjoy.
Perfect scents to get into the Halloween spirit...
Whether you’re throwing your annual Halloween party or just looking to get into the spirit of the day, why not make the occasion extra special with one of our seasonally scented candles?
Choosing the right smell for your home or event makes a huge impact on the overall atmosphere. The right scented product can change a dull or downright scary setting, into something exciting, enchanting and welcoming — and let’s face it, that’s exactly what the Autumn home should smell like.
There are a number of amazing scents that remind us of the annual spookfest, here are just a few:
My candles start at just £20 for 1, £35 for 2, £50 for 3 and £65 for 4.
Soulful Sandalwood & Amber
If you’re looking for a scent that’s less sweet and more soulful, sandalwood should be your ingredient of choice. Deep and a little mystical, it too mixes well with vanilla for a chic, Halloween party scent.
Zesty Orange & Neroli
For those trying to create the perfect party atmosphere, orange is a great choice. Bright and zesty, it’s sure to bring out the life and soul of your party.
Deep Dark Noir
Ideal for a hauntingly romantic night, Noir is one of our most sensual scents. It combines soulful sandalwood with enchanting sandalwood and clove, and is topped off with sumptuous vanilla – a winner in all our hearts.
Whatever scent you choose for your Halloween celebrations – enjoy!
