Could your senses be the secret to better sleep?

We all know how important sleep is - but knowing that doesn't necessarily make it any easier to switch off at the end of the day!

In my latest blog, I'm looking at sleep a little differently.

Rather than another list of things you should be doing before bed, I've been thinking about how our six senses can help create the right conditions for our bodies and minds to slow down, settle and prepare for rest.

Because what we see, hear, smell, taste and feel - and even what's happening within our own bodies - can all play a part in how easily we make that transition from a busy day to a restful night.

This is Part One of my Six Senses Guide to Better Sleep, with more to come.

If you're someone whose head hits the pillow only for your brain to decide now is the perfect time to think about absolutely everything, this one's for you!

"I'll make some time for myself when things calm down." ← How many times have you said some version of this? 🤔

If I had a penny for every time I've heard it, well, I'd be posting this from The South of France probably 😂 ☀️

The problem is... things don't really calm down, do they?

One busy week ends and another begins, somebody needs something, work gets hectic, the diary fills up, family life happens and suddenly the thing you promised you'd do for yourself "next week" has been pushed back another month.

We're very good at prioritising the things that feel urgent, and looking after ourselves rarely shouts loudly enough to make it to the top of the list.

One of the things I love is when a client books her next visit before she leaves My Retreat because that time is suddenly protected.

It's in the diary. It belongs to her.

Everything else has to fit around it for once.

And maybe that's the trick. Don't wait until you find the time because, lovely, I can almost guarantee something else will find it first.

Make the time yours first.

If your September diary is already starting to look ridiculously full, perhaps this is your reminder to put yourself in it too.

My door is always open 🤍

Positive Thinking Day 💜

A little reminder today that positive thinking doesn't mean pretending everything is wonderful all of the time.

Life can be busy, difficult, frustrating and overwhelming - and we're allowed to feel all of those things.

But sometimes, gently shifting our attention towards something that is good can make a difference.

Something you're grateful for.
Something you're looking forward to.
Something you handled better than you think.
Or simply one small thing that made you smile today.

For Positive Thinking Day, perhaps take a moment to notice one good thing - however small it might be.

And remember to speak to yourself with the same kindness and encouragement you'd give to someone you love.

Love, Julia 🤍

Your evening skincare, sorted!

If you've been thinking “I really should get into a proper evening skincare routine” but aren't quite sure where to start, SUPER STARTER PLUS ALL BAGGED UP makes it beautifully simple.

You choose the cleanser, toner and serum that are right for your skin, then add the gorgeous REPOSE Relaxing Night Cream - all tucked into a neat bag ready for your evening ritual.

And this month there's even more reason to love it:

Your serum is FREE
Your second REPOSE is FREE

The additional REPOSE is part of Temple Spa's September campaign supporting Alzheimer's Society and Alzheimer Scotland, with £6 from each promotional REPOSE DUO offer donated to support their work.

So you could keep one REPOSE beside your own bed and gift the other to someone who could do with a little more rest and relaxation.

Prices vary depending on the products you choose, and that's where I can help! If you'd like me to put together the right combination for your skin and your budget, just pop me a message.

I spend a lot of time with women who are very good at looking after everyone else.

You know the ones... you're remembering appointments, sorting the family, checking everyone's okay, getting things done, answering messages and generally being the person everyone knows they can rely on.

And when you've been that person for a long time, I think it becomes so normal that you don't always notice just how much you're carrying. You just get on with it.

Quite often it's only when someone walks through my door, sits down and finally stops that they realise how long it's been since they actually did.

And that's one of my favourite things about My Retreat.

For the next hour or two, you don't need to think about anybody else. You don't need to decide what's for tea, remember where someone needs to be tomorrow or answer another "Maaaaam..." 😂

You can just hand everything over to me and let me look after you for a change.

I'll work out what you need that day. You just need to turn up. 🤍

So this week, amongst everything you're doing for everybody else, ask yourself one little question...

Who's looking after you?

I'm just putting this out there...

💕 Maybe you need some extra cash to help out with Christmas (I said the C-word!)

💕 Maybe you want to save for a special holiday or treat?

💕 Maybe you just want to do something for yourself that feels more fun?

💕 Maybe you want to make new friends and 'get out there'?

💕 Maybe you have some debt you'd like to clear?

💕 Maybe you LOVE your Temple Spa products and would like to have more of them?

If the answer to any of those is yes, or indeed if you're just curious drop me a message. I'm happy to chat through the ways you could become a Temple Spa ambassador or consultant.

I've been selling Temple Spa for 14 years - even before I had My Retreat so I know it works and I've been reaping the benefits - especially with my skin!

This year I want to help you make your dreams come true. 💕

REPOSE: The Beauty of Letting Yourself Rest

How good are you at really resting?

Not catching up on emails from the sofa.
Not scrolling while you have five minutes to yourself.
Not mentally working through everything you should be doing next.

Actually stopping.

In my latest blog, I'm talking about REPOSE – not just the Temple Spa product I've loved for many years, but the idea of giving ourselves permission to rest, restore and simply be.

It's a philosophy that has found its way into my WATER treatment experience too, where REPOSE plays a beautiful part in helping you drift, soften and let go.

Because rest isn't an indulgence. And it certainly isn't something we need to earn.

If you find switching off difficult (and I know so many of us do!), make yourself comfortable, find a quiet corner and give yourself permission to stop for a few minutes and have a read: https://buff.ly/jWkQorE

Hi lovelies

Temple Spa's award-winning night cream is making a difference this month, and so can you when you purchase REPOSE.

Throughout September (and into October!), their buy one, get one free offer gives you the opportunity to gift someone the gift of a good night's sleep, while helping to fund more Dementia Research Nurses, expand access to research and give families renewed hope.
It's the perfect chance to treat yourself and someone special, all while supporting an important cause.

REPOSE is also a product that's very special to me at My Retreat. I've chosen to use it within WATER, one of my Four Elements treatment experiences, where its beautiful calming aroma fits perfectly with the whole intention of the treatment - to drift, soften and simply repose.

Use the link below to shop, or message me to place an order.

There's a moment at the end of summer when everything begins to settle again.

The house gets a little bit quieter, the routines return and probably, for the first time in weeks, you get space to hear yourself think.

If your summer has been lovely but full-on, you might be feeling ready for that. I know so many mums who spend the holidays making sure everyone else is having a lovely time...and arrive in September needing a holiday from the holiday. 🤍

So perhaps this month doesn't need to start with a huge list of things to achieve.

Maybe it can begin with a breath.

A slower morning.
A walk by the sea.
A quiet cup of tea.
A couple of hours at My Retreat where, for once, nobody needs anything from you.

Whatever it looks like, make a little room for yourself too.

You've earned it 🤍
