This is how my mornings rolling before heading to work…

I was up till 12am making tablet last night with the last one getting burnt! After standing stirring it for over an hour that really made my night 🤨
So I got straight out of bed this morning to make batch number 4 AGAIN… I only make this once a year as its only for a very rare treat plus it takes to long make doesn’t it…pain in the a** actually😂
the kitchen smelled amazing though, and my wee witch’s cauldron has been working hard and batch number 4 is perfect😁👌
I’m sure the weans are going to be happy with the outcome!!

Here’s my contribution to some Halloween fun🧙

Hubble bubble, pot’s a double,
a golden brew begins to bubble!Sugar, butter, milk all blend,
A witch’s mix that never ends.
Stirring spells of creamy gold!
A Scottish secret, sweet and bold!
Batch number four, the cauldron’s hot, Halloween magic hits the pot!
So gather round, both ghoul and sprite, this tablets doing its rounds tonight. A trick, a treat, a taste divine,
Sweet enchantment, one bit at a time!💜😁

Happy Halloween and have a blessed day everyone👻

I’m out and about today doing mobile treatments…keeping my lovely clients relaxed and pampered, no matter what the weather’s up to!💆‍♀️

Yesterday was horrendous, so I’ve got my fingers crossed for a nice dry day today… no storms brewing, please! 🙏🏼

Once I’m finished, I’ll be heading home to make the kiddos their favourite from me at this time of year a big batch of tablet, just in time for Halloween! 🎃

Simple steps can be taken to support stroke prevention. Eating whole, nutrient-rich foods, moving your body daily, stay hydrated, managing stress, practicing mindfulness and being kind to your heart …physically and emotionally❤️

🌿 MLD Series: Week 4

Can Lymphatic Drainage Help with Fibromyalgia?

The short answer: YES!

Fibromyalgia is one of the most common chronic pain conditions, affecting millions of people worldwide. It often comes with a mix of symptoms like:

* Widespread muscle and joint pain
* Tenderness and sensitivity to touch
* Fatigue and sleep disturbances
While it’s not life threatening, fibromyalgia can be incredibly distressing and managing pain is often the top priority for those living with it.

That’s where Manual Lymphatic Drainage can help.

💧 What Makes MLD Different?

MLD is very light, with rhythmic movements that gently stretch the skin and fascia. The goal is to encourage lymph flow….helping your body clear out excess fluid, cellular waste, and inflammation.

Why does this matter?

Because fascia..the connective tissue network found throughout the body…plays a key role in pain perception and inflammation. When fascia tightens (often due to stress, dehydration, or chronic tension), it can restrict movement, trap waste, and make fibromyalgia pain worse.

🧠 The Fascia–Pain Connection

Our fascia has three main layers:

*Superficial Fascia – connected to the skin
* Deep Fascia – surrounding muscles, bones, and vessels
* Visceral Fascia – supporting internal organs
In fibromyalgia, the body often stays stuck in a “fight or flight” response, causing muscles and fascia to remain tense. This tightness limits lymph flow and allows waste products to build up, which increases inflammation and pain.

How MLD Can Help

Research shows that lymphatic drainage therapy may help reduce pain, stiffness, and swelling, while also improving sleep quality and overall comfort for people with fibromyalgia.
The gentle, soothing rhythm of MLD helps calm the nervous system, loosen fascia, and restore a sense of relaxation in the body.

It is recommended to start with 2–3 MLD sessions to see how your body responds. Many people have reported that regular treatments combined with simple self-care techniques help keep flare-ups under control and support ongoing relief.

Your lymphatic system plays a quiet but powerful role in pain management and supporting it through MLD can be a gentle, effective way to help your body feel balanced again.

Thanks for reading.
