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.

Happy New Year 2024

Hello January and 2024, New Years Day always feel lovely and fresh.

You will have noticed that the prices have slightly increased as from today, I am sorry but every single item and service has increased.

If you received a Christmas Gift Voucher, please keep them safe as you will need to produce the voucher when you have your treatment, the valid date is 30th May 2024

I have now reinstated the Gift Promise Vouchers, they make a lovely gift, completely flexible for you and your family/friend. I have vouchers in the shop so please pop in.

The salon and gift shop will reopen on the 4th January 2024.

I am busy updating prices, designing special offers and painting/cleaning the salon, so not a holiday as such just a time when I can get some maintenance done.

I hope 2024 is a wonderful year for you, full of love, laughter and adventure, Linda xx

Some good news!

Yesterday we were given the “roadmap” to get open again. Simply Relaxing will reopen (hopefully if all goes well) on April 12th.

I will have all the same Covid safety measures in place ( max 4 customers per day with a gap big enough to properly ventilate and clean between)

If you can keep an eye on this website, I will post all the updates I am given here and on our facebook page.

I cant wait to see you xx

Hello March

The first signs of spring are enough to fill many of us with optimism and energy that is just the tonic after a long winter. Think trees laden with delicate blossom in pretty pastel tones, or fresh green shoots awakening from dormancy, filling us with hope and optimism for the year ahead. And just as the spring bulbs and plants burst through the barren winter with their promise of life and beautiful colours, so spring people light up a room with their expressiveness, their creativity and inspirational ideas But are you a “Spring” person…

The Spring Personality

The Spring personality is infectiously enthusiastic, incredibly bright and very people-focused. Spring personalities are big on fun, they are excellent communicators, good at thinking on their feet and brimming with ideas. Clarity, simplicity and transparency are all important to them.

Their challenge is to hold themselves back as they are prone to flit from one thing to another, never quite finishing off one project before starting another. They can be seen as flaky and a little unreliable but this is only as a result of their heads literally being full of ideas.

A Spring person loves circles, polka dots, busy patterns, fine lines and glossy textures. colourwise think primrose yellow or verdant lime green

AROMATHERAPY FOR SPRING

This season is for the delicate scents of nature. Fill your home with floral aromas of Helpmeorganics spring candle, “help me say hello to Spring” Enjoy a blend of Patchouli, Rose geranium, Pink Grapefruit and Lavender. Fresh clean scent to help you feel happy and energised yet calm and relaxed.

There are still plenty of coughs & colds around so use antibacterial & antiviral essential oils…try Helpmeorganics “help me, i’m feeling under the weather” essential oil blend in your home and workplace. 1 -2 drops on a tissue will help protect you & keep your sinuses clear.

TREATMENTS FOR SPRING

As we mention before, there are plenty of viruses about so making sure your lymphatic system is working efficiently is very important, by having a regular massage or reflexology will help increase your immunity.

Sinuses can become sluggish so consider having a Hopi Ear Candle to clear away congested wax, maybe combine it with the Sinus massage which includes reflexology lymph drainage too.

MOTHERS DAY 22ND MARCH 2020

We think Mothers (and maternal figures in our lives) are very super important to our health & wellbeing so its lovely to make a fuss of them. Why not book them in for a treatment, bring them along then afterwards take your mum for a coffee or a meal. We have lots of ideas on our website but maybe this one will be just what you are looking for:

  • Holistic Facial with Jade rollers, natural face lift , masks and massage
  • with Reflexology
  • Cost £65
  • includes a Helpmeorganics “help me say hello to Spring” soy candle

We can write your gift on a voucher with the day & time for her treat, the whole session will take 75 minutes and she will feel totally pampered

NEWS FROM THE SALON
