We should all take time to reflect and choose a mantra

How I Found my Mantra (& how you can too!) PLUS December Giveaway

“I trust myself, I trust life.  Everything is unfolding in perfect timing.”  

This is my mantra.  It resonates so deeply within me.  When I say it (and I say it daily) it reassures & motivates me.  Who’d have thought just repeating these simple words could have such a powerful effect, but that’s the beauty of a mantra.  

What is a Mantra?

A personal mantra is a positive phrase or affirmative statement that you say to yourself for the purpose of motivation and encouragement.  The words you choose have the power to alter your mood as well as your mindset.  

Truth is, I only discovered my personal mantra recently.  

Your WILDWOMAN Self-care package has arrived!

Take Time for YOU with WILDWOMAN, Plus November Giveaway

Subscription boxes have definitely been on the rise over the last few years.  I’m a fan & have loved subscribing to beauty boxes in particular.  For me, it’s a monthly treat to myself delivered direct to my door – almost like a little investment in myself.

So when I learned about a subscription box that took self-investment to the next level, I was intrigued and since trying it out, also very impressed!

Allow me to introduce WILDWOMAN…

Hersey & Son Silversmiths Zodiac charm collection

Jewellery with meaning: personalised necklace & pendants by Hersey & Son… & giveaway!

For anyone who has ever received a piece of jewellery from a loved one, be it a family heirloom, engagement ring (or maybe even one half of a ‘BFF’ heart pendant) knows it holds a significance far more meaningful than it’s actual financial worth. 

Jewellery can tell a story and holds the power to become a statement of who we are & what we hold dear. 

Yes, jewellery, when it has meaning, is something to treasure indeed.

One oil to rule them all: Organic Facial Oil, By Sarah London

“All you need to do is cleanse & follow with this,” said Lauren, (one of the sisters behind the award-winning British skincare brand, By Sarah London) as she handed me their Signature Organic Facial Oil. 

I was sceptical.  Just one product?  No other lotions or potions?  And an oil, on my combination skin?  But I’d read the reviews, I loved the ethos of the brand & I was more than a little swayed by the packaging, so I bought one. 

In all honesty, I’m beyond pleased that I did!

Are you living the life of your dreams?

Anyone who has sat in my home office (or accompanied me on a shopping trip), is aware of my love for Kikki.K, a beautiful stationery brand designed to inspire & empower you to live your best life every day.  What’s not to love about that?

This year I was fortunate to attend a well-being event where Kristina Karlsson (the brand’s founder) held a talk on living your dream life. 

It was pretty inspiring stuff! 

Kristina started her business (which is now a global empire) from some simple dreams she wrote down on a humble notepad.  She wanted to love her Monday morning commute to work, she wanted to have a connection to her native Sweden, she wanted to be in charge of her own business and bring in $500 per week – little did she know how big and wonderful these relatively unassuming dreams would become.

However, her dreams didn’t happen just as a consequence of writing them down…

They happened because she worked to make them happen.  In the words of John .C. Maxwell, Dreams don’t work unless you do.
