Something I love about working for myself is that I can fulfill my passion for travelling with following my purpose and doing what I love.

Plus being a single mumma I need to earn the dollar right! I do miss my girls when I'm away!!!

Combining my treatment room in Bentley Heath with working as a Spa Therapist takes me to some beautiful places. Isle of Arran is one of my favourite 💙

I'm back on Tuesday 28th March and Wednesday 29th March so get booking!!!

As a thank you for your patience whilst I'm away I'm offering 25% off all Well-being treatments on both days.

Can't wait to see you!!!

Much love

Tamzin Outhwaite launched We Free Women today on International Women's Day.

It's an amazing non profit organisation that will enable women to go on a retreat within the UK.

This absolutely resonates with me and the work I do. Retreats should be open to all women because we should all experience self-love and self-care. Money should not be a barrier to finding peace, receiving treatments, eating nutritional food, being educated, loved and supported in our journeys as women.

So proud to be part of this organisation.

Please share with your girlfriends, mums, grandmother's, sisters 💗 so those that need will receive 💗

I know its incredibly hard times but if you could donate, well that would be amazing!!!

Selfcare is a buzzword that resonates with many of us, but it is also a luxury that most people do not have the time or money to afford.

There are millions of women out there who are struggling, whether it be financial difficulties, menopause, single mothers caring for children, troubled teens & some caring for elderly parents too... it goes on and on... Spinning plates, juggling childcare, work, running a home & with the cost of living crisis it can feel impossible for women to make themselves a priority financially, timewise & whilst dealing with too many responsibilities.

Our stretched NHS is full of women reaching out and not getting as
much help as they deserve...

Wellness retreats offer people some rest, a chance to grow and to focus and look within themselves with the help of wonderful therapies, nourishing food and calming surroundings... a chance to be free and be themselves.

With so many women not able to afford such luxury, we've been inspired to start one which will be free... Our hope is to turn this into something bigger, to be able to make retreats for women across the UK for free.

We have been inundated with responses, suggestions & nominations of deserving women who simply can’t afford it... but we have also had massage therapists, chefs, P.Ts, menopause specialists, healers, yoga teachers, breath work experts and people offering up their properties.

We have set up this funding stream as lots of people have been in touch to say they have nothing to offer but they would like to donate... this is amazing... this is a movement... any funds donated will be used towards the retreats and ongoing support to women in need.

Thank you xx

We Free Women, organized by We Free Women Selfcare is a buzzword that resonates with many of us, but it is also a luxury that most people do not… We Free Women needs your support for We Free Women

Tip 3

Aloe Vera

Did you know it boosts collagen and clears acne?

What is it?
It's a hydrating succulent plant.

Aloe contains mucopolysaccarides which help your skin retain moisture.

Helps with redness and scarring too.

Also nourishes from the inside.

An amazing first aid plant for cuts, abrasions, bruises....very soothing.

Where do I get my plant?
Believe it or not IKEA 🤍

Tip 2

What should be my first tipple of the day?

Warm lemon water 🍋

But don't have it with a slice of lemon or hot water. There are NO benefits to you!

What do I have?

A cup of warm water and use the juice from a whole lemon (chop the ends off first).
To save time (and washing a juicer everyday!) I juice a batch of lemons and pop the juice into an ice cube tray and just 'pop' one out every morning to use.

If you'd like an extra boost in winter or hayfever season add some fresh ginger, turmeric & either local honey or maple syrup.

What are the benefits?

🍋Boosts immunity

🍋Good for your brain

🍋Heart - healthy

🍋Balances bodies pH

🍋Helps with weight loss

🍋Aids digestion

🍋Diuretic

🍋Clears skin

🍋Freshens breath

🍋May even help respiratory problems

🍋Your liver loves it

🍋Helps kick the coffee habit

Happy to be reading this 🥰

The Government has reinstated its commitment to the licensing of the non-surgical aesthetics sector in England.

“It’s encouraging to hear that the Government remains committed to bringing forward licensing of non-surgical cosmetic procedures. With almost a million botulinum toxin or cosmetic filler injections now being administered each year, regulation is needed more than ever to protect consumers seeking these kinds of non-surgical treatments,” says Victoria Brownlie, Chief Policy Officer at the British Beauty Council.

Tip 1

Sugar causes glycation.
An excess of glucose in skin fibres.
A reaction then takes place which causes the sugar molecules to attach to the collagen & elastin proteins, resulting in stiffening & loss of elasticity in the skin which results in wrinkles!

My tip 💗
If you are craving sugar up your protein. When you get an energy slump you reach for chocolate or a diet coke to give you that boost to get you through the afternoon.

Eat or drink protein instead! No excuses!

A sugar boost will be a quick fix and not good for your body! Protein will give you energy & keep you fuller for longer plus it is:

💗Better fuel for your body
💗Helps those sugar cravings
💗Helps balance your hormones
💗It's a building block of every human cell
💗It's important in growth, development, and tissue repair.
💗Protein is one of the three major "macronutrients"

Book an Environ Facial to help with those pesky wrinkles!

Book a Skinpen Micro-Needling treatment to help erase those pesky wrinkles too!

And cut out those fake sugars, sweetners, sweets, chocolate, diet coke, alcohol, processed foods....you CAN do it!

REMEMBER to REPLACE not deprive yourself!

REMEMBER you are a role model to your kids about not only how to be a good person but also what are healthy eating habits. Do you emotionally eat or always on a diet?

Happy to help with replacement ideas for health 💡a detox plan to kick the cravings 💗 or treatments to help with your skin.

The best way to detox from sugar and check you don't have candida is to have a colonic. Follow my friend Liz O'Sullivan for more tips and to book your colonic with her 💗

Love
Fiona 💗
