Sometimes we feel as fragile as a rose...

Sometimes we don't want to get up in the morning.

Sometimes we have to fake it till we make it.

Life is hard.

It's only a small thing, but I find aromatherapy has helped so much.

For years, I have loved the cosmetics brand Neom Organics. Some of their blends have 30 different essential oils in them.

During the pandemic, I began blending my own essential oil combinations. I sent out the pulse point balm to friends and family, often people who were dealing with extreme daily challenges.

Creating the recipes I encountered lots of not so good combinations...

...for example, I'm just putting it out there, Basil essential oil needs to be used in serious moderation.

Honestly it's repulsive on it's own, blended with other things - gorgeous... on it's own, horrible.

But I got there in the end.

Using coconut oil, beeswax & a blend of oils, there are four key recipes, for morning va va voom, daytime serenity, relaxed dusk and cosy winter.

Together we can create a pulse point balm which is solid, like a lip balm, and a hand salve which is softer and comes in a tube which you can keep or give away.

I have one in every handbag & every coat pocket.

If this is something which you think you need in your life, let me know.

Bring a friend and together we'll have the loveliest time melting wax and mixing soothing scents... just go easy on the basil.
