December Rose Therapies

11/11/2025

Such a damp and dull day outside. So, it's a perfect day to continue with preparing the Wellness Calendars 💕

Just a wee reminder, these are limited supply and take time to prepare, so please order early.

They are for 28 days and can be used in any month of the year, not just an advent calendar for Christmas.

Send me a message if you would like to order one xx

I'm really excited to finally announce this properly.

It's a little 'Wellness Calendar'. Each item will be individually wrapped and numbered for 28 days, so it can be used for any month of the year. It includes items like journals, colouring books, pencils, a selection of pens, a pencil case, stickers, positivity quotes, tea bags, and not forgetting, a little stress ball! All to promote mindfulness, relaxation, positivity, and reflection.

These will be available from the end of November but must be pre-ordered as there is limited supply. Payment of £50 must be made at the time of ordering.

For more details or to order, please send me a message! Currently, as this is on an introductory basis, when they're gone, they're gone!

This week had been hard getting back into the rhythm of work and trying not to let it overwhelm me!

But I wanted to share this little pic collage with you - from Mr B and I completing our 1st Dublin marathon in 2014 to us completing our 10th Dublin marathon this year!

There are changes coming for the entry system, so there are no guarantees for entry next year.

Plans now afoot for a new challenge next year. It could be very scary (for me) and that will involve overcoming lots of self doubt......in the meantime, I need to get my finger out and do some work 😅

Have a great day.

The suitcases are unpacked. The holiday clothes are washed and put away. Even the holiday nail polish has been removed.

I have returned home to the crisp air of autumn, leaves in beautiful orange hues, littering the footpaths. Nature is preparing to let go and hibernate for the winter.

I am ready to let go of summer and embrace the beauty that is autumn. Crisp, chilly walks, followed by warm fires and cups of hot chocolate (or my newly discovered mushroom latte 😋).

The therapy room is warm and cosy, ready to welcome you for a comforting and relaxing treatment (obviously after you have been welcomed at the door by the L'il Lady).

Step into the change of season. Look after your physical and mental well-being. Make a therapy session part of your routine. Diary is open and already filling up for November 🍂🍁

How many people do this???? The range left in my car.....19 miles, fuel light on. Amber gambling to get to the petrol station. Who needs that additional stress?????

It got me thinking...... how many times do we let ourselves run on empty? I know I am so guilty of this. Not giving myself time off or allowing myself to rest until it's too late.

Confession time!!!! I have been running on fumes for weeks now and ignoring it. I knew I'd a holiday coming up, but this has been a long time coming round. This week was breaking point.

My skin has broken down around my eyes and eczema has flared up on my arms as well. I have had migraines and headaches. And I have been at the point of tears.

So from this evening, my out of office is on and early tomorrow I fly to Palma (yes I know there's a wee marathon involved but there is plenty of cool out time also planned!)

I am giving myself permission for some much needed rest.

Do the right thing for yourself. Recognise the signs and tell yourself that it is ok to rest 💕

No rest for the wicked!

Saturday run, Sunday puppy powered run, followed by prepping the car air fresheners until I was happy with the blends. These were packed, and I've started to send some out today. I'm hoping they are well received 💕
More research and recipe prepping last night, but within that, I did include making a balm for my very sore eyelids.

Busy and productive between lovely clients today! Let's hope it's all worth it!

Hope you had a great day!

Hello.

I hope you're having a lovely Saturday.

I'm in the very pretty village of Dundrum today, taking part in a run this morning.

I wanted to introduce this new wee product to you. I've been working on this for a while. It's a natural, aromatherapy car air freshener.

If you'd like to be a tester for it please give me a shout. This particular one is very zesty, with lemon scented eucalyptus, lemongrass, lavender essential oils, and Peppermint Hydrolat.

Enjoy your weekend xx

It's World Mental Health Day today.

Life can be difficult, it's fast, and it's stressful!

But pause, take a moment, and remember there are also happy times. Times when there is laughter and fun.

Don't neglect your mental health. If you notice any warning signs, such as distancing yourself from others, not coping with the day to day, feeling agitated, then seek help!

Have a look at these ways of helping your mental health stay fit ❤️

Nothing like a warm and cosy therapy room on an autumnal evening ☺️

Had a go at something different! A bit of Macrame. Think it would take some more practice, but I'm loving the autumnal colours 🍂🍁🌳

A quick demo of a hand massage to help your digestive system. Give it a go and let me know what you think!
