The harsh summer sun and warm days might be coming to an end but that isn’t an excuse to abandon your skincare routine. With winter months and cold weather rolling in, it’s as important as ever to maintain healthy, hydrated skin. The cold air can dry your skin out big time leaving it itchy, irritated, red, and sometimes even lead to cracking. Over time these factors can put a toll on the largest organ we have, our skin.
It’s finally cold enough out there to snuggle up indoors once the sun goes down. In our home, the little ones are in bed by 6.30 while Georgie, who is almost 8 years old, gets to stay up an hour more. During that time I get dinner ready while he reads a book to me or completes one of these little worksheets we recently received. You can give this one a go with your older kids if you like because it’s free to download and print.
I tried to think of the reasons I had never bought from small businesses in the past. Have you ever thought of it?
Over the past few years I have learned to love beautiful handmade and timeless jewellery. I now deeply appreciate a handcrafted stunning gold chain charm or a cuff bracelet and bangles. I do of course still buy the occasional gold hoop earrings from the high street but that’s about it. What, I feel, represents me and the woman I am today is something more, that isn’t mass-produced. My taste has veered towards the quality and aesthetics that can only come from something made with love. Which is why I am a big fan of Ditale Studio.
Over the past two months I have slowly brought back into my life a real feel-good practice: yoga. I don’t have time to get myself to a class anymore but that won’t stop me from taking 30 minutes out of my day to treat my body.
