The pressure outside influences place on us is reaching such extreme level . With Christmas coming up and the pressure to have and to buy just to keep up with the latest trend will be felt now more than ever ! Taking a step back and examining what is really important. How much stuff do we actually need ? What really makes us happy ? I know personally I get really anxious when I’ve lots of stuff everywhere , yet I keep buying as I’m sucked in ! Studies have shown that children play better and with more imagination when they have less clutter and too many things to choose from . The more I spend around “stuff “ the more I’m striving for a simpler living ! Time for a massive decluttering I think !

Maybe this is exactly the home you wanted before you knew Pinterest existed . . .

Maybe you were a wonderful mom before fifteen internet sensation parenting experts told you, you were doing it all wrong, in all different ways . . .

Maybe your house felt kept up, before you fell down the rabbit hole of "tap to tidy"s and marathon extreme deep cleans . . .

Maybe the birthday parties you hosted were sweet, until you found the YouTube videos of gender reveals more elaborate than your own wedding . . .

Maybe what you’re consuming is what’s consuming you . . .

Maybe half the battle for contentment could be won, simply by choosing to live joyfully in the reality of our own lives, and not the snapshots of someone else’s . . .

Enough is enough. ❤️🏠

"I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it's true I'm here, and I'm just as strange as you.”
Frida Kahlo

What a beautiful but chilly start to the day ! We have a lot to be thankful for . I am starting my day by telling myself 5 things I’ve grateful for !
Todays is
My family
My health
The sunrise 🌅
Mushroom 🍄
A warm bed to wake up in
My shaman (which sounds so unusual to say ) said that I’m un grounded , that my chakra is spinning in the opposite direction and that I must spend more time outside which is where I really feel connected and at peace ! So I dragged the pooch out of my cosy warm bed and off up the woods we went ! It’s just a beautiful way to start the day ! Sadly I didn’t get to shroom hunt as much as I can as you can imagine the cockerpoo isn’t great in the brambles 😂
I might go later alone and on the hunt for some medicinal varieties I’m on the hunt for some turkey tails to dry out for some tea ! Life is growing all around us just stopping and slowing down we find the most magical things !
Off now to do boring jobs like replacing my windscreen from 2 huge cracks with 2 very reluctant children to make thre trip with me !
Have a fabulous day
Victoria 💚🍄

Let’s talk about self care and the importance of having that one on one time to yourself !
Today I experienced my first shamanic healing session . It’s not something I have really thought about before experiencing however the universe decided to present me with this path so I’ve embraced it and have been opened to a whole new level of healing like never before . Interestingly when I arrived he picked up on my energy that I was like a whirlwind, which surprised me as I thought I was being calmer than I usually am 😂 I honestly trip over when entering yoga and anyone that knows me well. Knows I don’t stop all day and I’m constantly on the go !

Me taking time for myself daily is very much on the bottom of the to do list ! I have stacks of books I never sit to read , meditations I wish to do and this part of my day today having a relaxing bath ! It’s difficult for me to switch off I am always demanded from in some way as we all are but we can’t pour from an empty cup ! We are that cog in the machine that keeps everything else spinning! However those cogs need oiling ! Taking that moment to stop and look after us isn’t selfish which is how I felt for a very long time , it isn’t unimportant or not a priority . That load of washing will still be there tomorrow , it’s ok to say stuff it we are ordering a takeaway or having a beans on toast kind of night . It’s ok to say NO ! No to things that other people put on you . No to things that no longer serve you or give you joy ! We need to be living our best lives and taking 30 minutes to yourself will add so much happiness to your well-being !
When we are happy or families are happy !

So !
Himalayan salt for clearing those chakras , relaxing those muscles and detoxing our bodies
Fresh rose petals for supporting our hearts
Rosemary for protection and
Dried lavender in my little bath pouch for relaxation and because it’s lavender !

Honouring ourselves and adding that bit of effort with so many benefits is what we deserve . I will be in here for at least 30 minutes maybe even an hour , I’m then off to relax in bed with fresh pjs and bedding which is also the best thing since sliced bread !
Take that time , and tell your self you are enough !
P.s the salt turns the water this colour 😂
Do you take the time for yourself or are like me and constantly on the go ?
Evening snuggles and blessings to you all
Victoria 💚

The tea is brewing and the fire is on ! We are embracing a more hygee lifestyle this autumn / winter ! Come from the danish way of living it focuses on snuggling down , being cosy and loving where you live . Finding peace and comfort in these long winter days . Lighting candles , having warm comfy clothing on and being present In the moment ! I’ve snook 5 minutes on my phone whilst the youngest is in the shower and the boys are at cadets to write this , I’ve my fluffy slippers on a blanket over me and the dog snuggled next to me . Nothing fancy , just peace , quiet and happiness !

The 10 basic principles to hygee are atmosphere , presence,
pleasure, equality, gratitude, comfort, togetherness, harmony, truce, and shelter.

The Danes are one of the most happiest people on the planet so if it works for them especially with their limited daylight hours it can work for us ! Sleepy time tea is in the pot and I’m anxiously not tracking my daughters flight back from Dubai ! Off to be more present In the moment , find the smaller things in life to be grateful for and relax with a good book !
Night time blessings

This is your sign not to buy those dull winter colours that are in the shops right now ! Colour has a massive effect on our mood and wellbeing ! Those dark nights and the greyness that looms over us is here and we can all start to feel pretty glum ! Wearing bright colours can really have brighten your mood and those you surround yourself with . It doesn’t have to be a bright coat wearing a scarf can transform a top ! Try buying cotton / wool / linen for those negative ions ! I also would grab any piece of sunlight you can , set that circadian rhythm for the day , do some sun rise breathwork ! Lift that mood and ditch they grey !

Love this 💚

When the was our chairperson, he and Non his wife, created a poster, A Year in Herbs, for the society.
The idea is that you can colour it in yourself, shown here is mine which is in my kitchen. We also have a laminated version in black + white.
However it needs a volunteer to stock them and post out to our members and ambassadors who can sell them at their events.
We don't have an on line shop and need to recruit a volunteer from our membership to take this role on as our current volunteer is retiring from the position.
Members, if you are interested in this wonderful opportunity to support your charity, please DM with your email address then we can talk.😊
We also have 5 other posters we sell at events, prices vary for members and non members, as being in this community offers this and many more benefits. 😉
The gift of membership, resolves hours of searching for something special for a person you know would appreciate it.
