Decades before Gua Sha rose quartz or jade tools became popular in facials I discovered and trained in the Heated Crystal Facial for an alternative to hot stones massage contraindicated for my pregnant ladies and enjoyed by all clients since! The gently heated palm crystals bring warmth to relax shoulders neck and facial muscles. They represent and help balance the 7 chakras alongside tradition massage, skin nourishing facial products and reiki healing for mind, body and spirit wellbeing. 1.5 hours £55

For months now I’ve been using my mobile phone calendar to book in your appointments. Today I was so embarrassed and disappointed that somehow this morning’s client in my diary for next Monday! This never happened when used a paper appointments diary so as of today I am going back to paper! I am also looking at the option of an online booking system that also takes card payments. But until then paper it is. I can only apologise to the lovely lady for my mistake, be reminded I’m only human, learn from it and move forward. 💗 Darlene

You are enough. Be gentle and kind with yourself. 💗

🌀When the world tells you you’re not enough, remember who you really are.



In Irish, there is a word that touches the very heart of who you are: Anam
(pronounced AH-nahm)

In old Irish belief, the anam was more than a life force. It was your essence, the spark that makes you you. Ancient Celts believed the soul was eternal and deeply connected to family, ancestors, the land, and the cycles of nature. Stories and law honored deeds, skill, and bravery, but they also celebrated the life lived from the anam, the kindness, courage, loyalty, and love flowing from your core.

Anam means soul. Not just the mind or the body, not what the world sees or measures. Not how fast, strong, small, or large your body is. Not how close you are to some impossible standard.

It is the part of you that loves, that feels, that belongs simply by existing.

Today it can be hard to remember that. Modern beauty standards, social media, and constant comparisons make us measure ourselves by what we look like or how we move through the world. We see flawless bodies, polished images, and endless shoulds and think we are not enough.

And yet you are here. You are breathing. You are living. You are present. You are giving love. You are enduring, creating, trying, surviving.

That is your anam in motion. That is your soul shining exactly as it is.

If you moved your body today without criticizing it, there was anam in that.
If you told yourself something kind, even quietly, there was anam in that.
If you noticed a strength or quality in yourself and honored it, there was anam in that.
If you allowed yourself to enjoy a moment without judgment, there was anam in that.
If you smiled at your reflection or acknowledged your own courage, there was deep, quiet anam in that too.

Every small act of self-kindness, every gentle thought, every moment you chose patience and compassion for yourself carries anam.

Your soul is whole. Your soul is enough. It is not defined by what you do, how you look, or what anyone else thinks. It is defined by the love, care, and presence you give yourself.

Look at yourself with gentle eyes today. Love yourself exactly as you are. That is your anam shining through.

Remember, the light you carry inside is already enough for the world.

New Products! Yesterday’s client the first to trial the new Manicurist brand plant based lamp cured polish vitamin base coat and top coat that says lasts “up to 21 days”. She is going to do a wear test and give honest feedback. If you too would be interested in being a trial model I am looking for 2 more volunteers. This brand with original top coat lasts up to 12 days and removes easily in mins at home or in salon. The new top coat suggests it can take a bit longer to remove - up to 10 mins. Both with either no nail damage.

Also for your nail health I have bought Manicurist brand air dry strengthener called “Active Glow”, and their cuticle oil.

Lastly a new product by Essie called break fix which helps repair natural nail breaks under air dry polish. I’m also going to trial using underneath the Manicurist lamp cured polish.

Always investing in new products and treatments good for you, kind to the planet and suitable for vegans.

For more information, please get in touch. 💗 Darlene

As well as Chinese New Year and a New Moon Solar Eclipse it is Random Acts of Kindness Day! This is something I practice regularly and doesn’t have to be a grand gesture - sometimes a smile will make all the difference to someone’s day! Remember to also include yourself with a simple kindness that might just be a few deep breaths or a cuppa and a pause. 💗 Darlene

17/02/2026

As well as Chinese New Year and welcoming the year of the Fire Horse
today also brings a “New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius—a rare cosmic reset that speeds up endings and new
beginnings. Eclipses spark transformation, and in Aquarius, it's all about authenticity, freedom, and breaking away from old roles.
Let go of past stories and make room for the new you!”

Wishing you great happiness and prosperity! 🧧Darlene 🧧
