Christmas at Simply Relaxing

My little shop and salon comes alive at Christmas, there’s nothing more enjoyable than dressing the shop window. I always reuse decorations as that is important to you and me too.

Christmas can be a very busy stressful though fun time when you can be prone to viruses or burn out so have a look at my Top Five Tips to enjoy both Winter and Christmas

  • Drink plenty of water, warm to hot if you can as your digestive system appreciates this. Staying hydrated helps with headaches, sinus congestion, aches and pains, and energy.
  • Eat a rainbow everyday if possible to ensure you consume all your daily nutrients.
  • Keep moving. Exercise helps with your emotional wellbeing, keeps your lymph working properly and keeps you fit. Feeling strong ensures that your body can fight off seasonal coughs and colds.
  • Include essential oils at home and at work. Try using 2 drops of Helpmeorganics “help me, I’m feeling under the weather” blend, made with organic essential oils of tea tree, peppermint, eucalyptus, lavender and tangerine.

Autumn

As the wheel turns once again from summer to autumn, it is important to protect your immune system.

The days begin to shorten, gradually, but this affects our lymphatic system and we can become prone to coughs and colds, but you can support your immune system.

  • spend lots of time outdoors, absorbing the last rays of summer. The fresh air helps to clear your sinuses and improves your sense of wellbeing. Activity, too, keeps your circulation moving. Lymph is moved around your body by breathing and movement, so this helps to protect against seasonal colds.
  • body brush every morning before your shower. You can either use a brush or your hand, but begin at your feet and move upwards towards your heart. You can also tap under your arms, behind your knees, groin and abdomen to encourage the lymph drainage, tap lightly but quickly.
  • begin the day with hot water, this flushes your digestive system allowing your body to absorb the nutrients from your food. Eat a varied diet, lots of root vegetables and green leafy veg, they are packed full of bioactive compounds, this are mainly found in root vegetables and promote good health. Green leafy vegetables are rich in fibre, iron, b vitamins, magnesium, potassium and calcium.
  • make a list of everything you love about autumn. The vibrant colours, spicy scents, hot chocolate, jumpers, walks in the woods kicking up fallen leaves. By doing this, you are connecting with autumn positively, not just seeing a loss of summer days but relishing those misty mornings and warm sunny afternoons. Autumn is a time of beautiful sunsets and sunrises too!
  • Fill your home with scent. Essential oils will help protect you and your family. Have a look at our sister site , helpmeorganicsHpmeorganicsHelpmeorganics

Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits.

Christmas at Simply Relaxing 2023

It is time to book your appointments for the rest of the year, the salon becomes very busy and I want you to have your treatments at a day and time which is most convenient for you.

The special Christmas treatment packages are now available to book in for so take a look below and pencil in time to be quiet, calm and peaceful

Simply Relaxing Christmas treatment packages
Its time to book your Christmas treat!

Did you know we sell organic aromatherapy products and gifts?

From handpoured soy candles, soy wax melts, massage oils, reed diffusers, essential oil blends and letterbox gifts, we have gifts for your friends and family.

We offer a free local delivery service too!

We have changed from gift vouchers to gift promise vouchers, they seem to be working really well.

The gift promise vouchers is different to regular vouchers in that you either add the money to cover the treatment or you “promise” to pay when they book in. This makes the gift more personal, less stressful and, hopefully, more people will enjoy your gift.

Our Additional Special Opening Times are

  • Saturday Opening – 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd December 10am until 1pm
  • Wednesday 13th and 20th December 10am until 1pm
  • The salon and shop will be closed Christmas Eve
  • 28th & 29th December 10am until 1pm
