Imagine this: a warm fire crackling, a cup of hot cacao in hand, and your home filled with the lush greenery of thriving indoor plants. Winter in Ireland is a magical time, a season of cozy pubs, festive markets, and breathtaking landscapes. It is also a time of cozy contentment, and with the right care, your indoor garden can bring a touch of life and vibrancy to even the darkest days.
This year, I want to encourage you to prioritize self-care and find small moments of calm. Whether it's a soothing scent, an inspiring book, or a relaxing skincare routine, taking care of your well-being is key. Remember, there's no right or wrong way to feel – just acknowledge your emotions and be kind to yourself.

WELLNESS THOUGHT
Why do we complicate looking after ourselves?
A recent customer interaction reminded me of the importance of self-compassion. She felt embarrassed for prioritizing her well-being after a tough year, but as I told her (and want to remind you): you deserve kindness, especially from yourself. Looking after yourself looks different for everyone, and it's okay for those needs to change. No judgment, only support. Seeing that positive change is what makes my work so rewarding. I talked more about this on Instagram.
