Micro Self Care for Busy Mums with Lou Murray

Micro Self Care for Busy Mums with Lou Murray

Did you know that research has shown that mums have on average, just 17 minutes of time to themselves each day?!

Being a mum is hard work! From waking in the middle of the night to feed your baby to picking the kids up from school, us mums have busy schedules and that means we’re often exhausted.

So when it comes to looking after your own health and wellness, it’s totally normal to feel stressed and not know where to start...

Fortunately, we caught up with Health Coach and Mindfulness Teacher, Lou, who has shared her favourite micro-self care tools for mums that have ‘no time’ for self-care.

Take some time for YOU, now. Pop the kettle on, and read all about how learning to squeeze self-care into your life may actually lead to less stress, more patience and a clearer focus.

#BLM Movement: Resources to help support and educate

As a small family run business, Sarah and I have been using this week to regroup and talk about what we can do as individuals, and as a brand to continue to support the black community.

WHY CHOOSE CERTIFIED ORGANIC COTTON?

WHY CHOOSE CERTIFIED ORGANIC COTTON?

Like many of us, my journey to lessen my impact on the planet began by first looking at food choices, followed by skincare.

Whilst healthy eating and clean skincare are now considered more mainstream choices, if we follow the next logical step and look at our clothing, it can be tricky knowing where to start. 

Personally I have found that once you start digging into the ethics of the fashion industry, things get a little over-whelming. From scary statistics like fashion being one of the most polluting industries in the world, to reports of appalling human rights abuses like the Rana Plaza collapse, how many of us know the real reasons why we should choose one fabric or brand over another.
