Happy Friday all!
Looking ahead to the evening and wknd, winding down is something we all need. I love using candles and scent to help me relax. I burn a candle when I’m doing my own evening Pilates practice and use essential oils in diffusers or sprays when teaching. Maybe you love it when having a bath or to welcome guests into your home.
It can instantly transport the mind, body and senses somewhere else and switch off stress and negativity - ramping up those chilled endorphins - taking you to your happy place.
My two favourites at the moment are …
LOVE STORY candle from Southern Lights
TIME OUT Essential Oil that I add to water and spray the room or pop in my electric diffuser from AromaWorks
Here’s a little TIP too - it’s so frustrating when you can smell all the gorgeousness in the remaining wax in your candle but end up throwing it away because the wick has fully burnt out. Re-use it! Remove it carefully. Pop it in a heatproof bowl over a shallow saucepan of water or directly in the pan and heat gently. The wax will melt. Pop a new wick in the original container or something else that is heatproof (packs of wicks are readily available online). Then pour the liquid back in and let it set. Trim the wick if needed. So simple. Give it a go.
