Did you know that goats are amazing escape artists? Ask any goat 🐐owner and they will tell you that it is true! 🤣

Very happy 🐓🐓 today as the rain has stopped (momentarily!) and they have fresh soft h**p in their run: dust bath time! 🛁

A beautifully magical misty evening last night.

It was only 3:45pm in this photo and pitch black just after 4pm. It the the longest night next week and then the days get longer: yippee!

I just had to visit a Christmas Tree farm for my mental health this week. There is nothing quite like the wonderful smell of pine and some twinkly lights on dark days. What helps you at this time of year?

Who else is feeling chilly and feeling the need to put the heating on and grab a warming cuppa? My go-to is unusual! It’s my own style homemade hot chocolate: with organic cocoa, almond milk, vanilla essence, coconut oil, cinnamon, coconut sugar and a teaspoon of peanut butter! Yay or nay?

I have been keeping a secret!

In between all the resting 💤 and healing (boring and frustrating but necessary and it helps when you have a cute furry friend!) AND editing/launching “Showing Up: Perspectives on Cancer” podcast I have been squirrelling away on a project to help others in a different way.

When I am in a flare up I get totally exhausted and all the little household tasks seem insurmountable and it doesn’t take much for me to break down.

Recently I’ve found something that helps me a lot and feels like a comforting, calming hug and that is …….. 🥁🥁

natural and beautifully scented candles and wax melts.

Those of you who know me, know my heart is to help others who struggle a bit like this too and so I’ve been heartening back to my teenage years when I used to make and sell beeswax candles. The smell is soooo gorgeous and the ions in the beeswax are very calming and can actually help you to sleep.

I’ve also adored learning about aromatherapy over the past 8 years but I never knew you could make natural candles using safe/natural essences until about 2 months ago! So, I’m incorporating these into a 100% natural home made candle, wax melt and hand wash side hustle!

It’s a wonderful journey testing all the natural fragrances and waxes and wooden wicks: so fun and relaxing! 🕯️

I’d love to know if you love candles or wax melts and find them calming/comforting/enhancing to your life too.
