Dear Ground

12/2/24 Dear Ground You are always with me Spinning me,  Us all,  6 miles an hour Around your very axis Last night I heard your tawny owls  crying out across the darkened sky As I stepped out Looking up I saw your partner sky Full of stars So bright  I almost lost my balance  Did I sense you spinning? Between you two and the owls You humble me

The Game of Being Wanted: Thoughts on Dreams and Reality

Do you dream? Do you like your night time dreams?

I’m sick of all these dreams Taking me back to places I do not want to go Blurry, incomplete, disconnected I moved in crowds An adept I learnt the skills The game of being wanted I’m sick of all these dreams Plunging me back This dream time Made up by my mind  But based on reality Evocations What sense are they And why do they appear I’m sick of all these dream times Times I sold…

Learning to Love, #1

And Failing It wasn’t real, but for a moment I suspended disbelief: Like these midwinter waves, There’s a rise and a fall, A new rhythm to the beat of my heart, In betwixt and between, Your soul crept in unseen, Shocking me out of my reverie, I step lightly on the sand, Imagining your hand,  Searching for the most polished of shells, So that I can remember well, Some beautiful people still love…

Neal's Yard Remedies and Me

Neal’s Yard Remedies and Me

Many of you know that over the last six years I have been slowly but surely building up a business in Organic Beauty and Wellness with Neal’s Yard Remedies.

I first started this up when we had decided to move from Surrey to Devon. It did what I wanted it at first, which was to help me get to know people and from that initial period of moving here, 5 years ago now I still have those same friends.

The Neal’s Yard Remedies ‘Create Your Own’ range has been brought to my attention of late, due to help it is offering people with skin complaints, notably eczema, perhaps due to it’s ‘Allergy Free’ certification.  But, that is not it’s only benefit ~ the range offers affordable and fragrance free ointment, lotions and hair & body wash for anyone with a preference for 100% natural ingredients.

  Create Your Own Face & Body Lotion

Formulated with just Almond and Soya oil, Beeswax, Aloe Vera & Sunflower seed oil, this lotion can be used as a lightweight cleaner (with a muslin cloth if you are keen on reducing waste) or a face and body moisturiser. It retails at just £8 for 250 ml.  This is a pretty price for a product that has 78% organic agricultural ingredients.

This lotion is gentle enough to use on your face, even if you have sensitive skin and a trustworthy alternative to baby lotion or other petroleum-based products if you have kids.

The great thing about natural and organic creams, lotions and ointments is that they don’t inhibit your natural skin functions and they don’t block the pores.  This lotion is easily absorbed and for those with problem areas is good for use straight out of the shower to help nourish and replenish your skin’s natural oils.

Neal’s Yard Remedies Create Your Own Face & Body Lotion made from 100% natural ingredients & 78% organic agricultural ingredients. 

For those looking to customise their products, it makes a great base for adding essential oils, flower remedies, infusions and tinctures.

Now I know that the lotion can be a cleanser too, I am considering adding Frankincense essential oil ~ which is used to tone skin & reduce fine lines and wrinkles ~ with Geranium ~ which can do wonders to balance hormones and uplift the emotions!

Create Your Own Ointment

With the same ingredients as the lotion, this ointment is ideal for those wanting a thicker texture. It has 88% organic agricultural ingredients and costs just £7.

The ointment is vitamin rich, nurturing and suitable for all skin types, especially dry and sensitive skin on both face and body.  Another option for creating your own products.

  Create Your Own Hair & Body Wash

This versatile vegetable based cleanser can be used as a shampoo, shower gel, foam bath or hand wash. 250 ml is £6.50.  The Hair & Body Wash has been formulated using Marigold extract to provide a gentle and non drying product.

All of these products are great for making personalised gifts and creating your own blends for pleasure of as a treatment.

For people with eczema who are struggling to find natural and organic products in one place, this range offers everything for simple and irritant free skin care. There are essential oils that are recommended for use to reduce symptoms of eczema, but it’s worth checking with an aromatherapist or consulting the Neal’s Yard Remedies Essential Oils book.

Create Your Own Bath Oil

Last but not least… this bath oil is a great way to start experimenting with your own blends… I think relaxing blends may be in order as the nights start to draw in.  How about Lavender, Vetiver and Bergamot?

Why Start with Organic Skin Care?

I imagine most people wonder what the fuss is about when it comes to upping your beauty products to organic. Most people probably go with the shop around for the best value approach or are rather loyal to the products they use.  I was the latter.

It was only because I was given a Frankincense Hydrating Cream for Christmas by my Mother in Law, that I had to rather begrudgingly use it. But use it I…

#worldoceanday keep our oceans plastic free! Proud to be associated with a brand that is conscious about the harm of plastics such as #microbeads - yucky things that enter the sewerage system and then the sea and then the food chain - totally unnecessary but cheaper than natural alternatives such and apricot stones and nuts. #nealsyardremediesorganic #surfersagainstsewerage #organicbeauty (at South Devon Hypnobirthing & Pregnancy Yoga)
