I posted earlier in the week about the 5 things I planned on doing this week. I’ve discovered that traditional new years resolutions don’t work for me, so I’m testing out a bit more a slow and steady approach this year. Giving myself little goals and challenges, both work and home life related. Life deals us twist and turns, and our feelings of happiness and contentment are very much part of that undulating path. Sometimes (possible all the time?) the only person who can make a change is you…
One of my challenges was to do something for myself this week. In the end I decided that I would keep it simple but indulgent. So yesterday evening, I turned on some of my favourite music and had a long hot shower. I used one of the gorgeous products I’d recently been given – Neom Body Scrub called Great Day: wild mint and mandarin. Which left me feeling not only polished and glowing, but energised too!
I then lit a candle, reread The Secret Garden which is one of my old childhood favourites. As I sat and ready the book with a cuppa, I daydreamed of the roses that grow so well in my garden. I love this story, and the author Burnett’s exploration of the healing powers (especially relationships) within living things. The candle was part of the NEOM range too actually, from their Happiness range appropriately. Happiness and healing a great combination!

I so agree about the power of making changes yourself. It changes other people too. Love the look and sound of these.i have a candle on my desk and it makes work so much better!
I’ve never thought of having a candle on my desk burning, I’m going to try that today.
One of my intentions for 2016 is to do something that makes me smile each week and having a long candle lit bath is on my list.
Yay, I love it!
ooh that sounds lovely Amanda !
Thank you 🙂
Do you know I’ve never used any Neom products (incredible really as you know how much I love scented candles – well basically anything naturally scented). I’ve just had a good look at the site (and signed up for their newsletter) and love how it all looks, especially the Wellbeing range, and Wellbeing magazine.
I’ve been using the Headspace app for meditation for a few months now, but have been meaning to set a specific time each day for this, and light a candle etc and make it more special, rather than just whenever I can fit it in, so you have inspired me (yet again!) x
Ohh I’m going to get that app, thanks Molly. I am surprised you’ve never used them, they are perfect for you!
Love the sound of the body scrub, I’ve never used Neom products before. I need to start doing things for me each week, must follow your example x
Hope you are managing it Sonia x
