Awesome Hugs Beauty and Wellness Therapy

My skin has been through it this week… honestly I could’ve cried.
One wrong shampoo in the shower and boom… allergic breakout, angry red patches, my neck on fire and now a wee crack at the corner of my mouth. If you’ve ever had one, you know how stubborn those things are because you’re constantly moving your mouth.

But here’s the thing… this is exactly why I always teach my clients not to panic.
Your skin isn’t broken… it’s reacting to protect you. Stressing only makes everything flare more because cortisol ramps up inflammation. There’s actually research showing that psychological stress delays skin barrier repair and increases inflammation (Journal of Investigative Dermatology).

So here’s what I do when things kick off like this…

• First… breathe. Calm body equals calmer skin.
• No makeup for 24–48 hours… let your skin do its job.
• Keep the area clean… and don’t pick, rub or try to “force” it to behave.
• Go back to neutral, nourishing products with minimal actives.
• Choose balms and oils over creams… they don’t have water or preservatives and won’t sting an already-compromised barrier.
And a wee extra tip… always clean the area before putting on more product. You don’t want to trap dirt or keep layering over old product because that can slow everything down.

I’ve been using my Awesome Hugs Wonder Balm on repeat… it’s soothing, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and honestly a wee hug for irritated skin. I apply it the second I feel tightness instead of waiting for another crack to appear. That’s what helps it heal faster.

Your skin and your body have their own intelligence… they always know how to repair… we just need to support them instead of stressing them.

If your skin is flaring just now and you’re not sure what to use… send me a wee message. I’ll guide you

“Don’t be fooled by the light touch… this is where the real magic happens”.

When I had a sinus infection and flew off on holiday, I could feel that pain building in my sinuses as the plane started to descend. It was sharp, almost like a haemorrhage inside my head.

But instead of reaching for painkillers, I decided to trust my body. I used gentle lymphatic drainage techniques… slow, rhythmic movements that help clear congestion, ease inflammation, and support the body to release pressure naturally.

It reminded me again how powerful the lightest touch can be.
We’ve been taught that pain needs to be fought or forced out, but true healing happens when we listen to the body’s whispers before it starts shouting.

Your body doesn’t need to be overworked, it needs to be encouraged. It doesn’t need punishment, it needs patience and presence.

If you’re feeling congested, puffy, or heavy, a Healing Massage with lymphatic drainage can help your body reset, flow, and breathe again.

✨ Come experience how gentle touch can create the biggest change.

Hey lovely 💕

Let’s talk about that skin prep before a big day… wedding, event, or just when you want to glow ✨

This is my go-to every single time… my Cream Cleanser & Mask.

It’s slightly more acidic (around pH 4.5), which is close enough to your skin’s natural 5.5… gentle but just active enough to loosen that dull top layer without any harsh scrubbing.

Here’s my wee secret…
If I’ve got something special coming up, I use it as an overnight mask the night before. I apply a thin layer, sleep in it, then wash it off in the morning with my face wash or cleansing balm. My skin always wakes up smoother, brighter, and just… happy.

For years we were told to scrub our skin into behaving, but that just stresses it out. Those harsh particles cause micro-tears that make your skin panic and produce more oil. This one does the opposite… it feeds your skin while gently exfoliating with natural AHA fruit extracts and nourishing oils like Sweet Almond, Castor, and Vitamin E.

So instead of stripping your skin, it gives it what it needs to thrive… a little love, hydration, and renewal 💕

💚 Vegan and cruelty-free
💚 Handmade in Scotland with love and prayer
💚 No parabens, no SLS, no nasties… just pure goodness that feeds your skin

Perfect for that pre-event glow-up or an at-home spa night 💆🏽‍♀️✨

When You’ve Tried Everything and Still Feel Stuck

Hey lovely 💕

You’ve done the meditations, read the books, tried the routines… yet something still feels off, right?
It’s not you; it’s your subconscious still running an old programme that thinks it’s keeping you safe. Your subconscious learns through repetition and emotion. When it feels fear or stress, it tags those moments as important and saves them. But it can unlearn just as quickly, especially when you feel safe and supported. 💡

Try this: Every time you catch yourself saying “I can’t,” add the words “…yet.” You’re teaching your brain that change is possible.

Join us for a heart-opening, transformative women’s circle:
✨ Clearing the Old… Creating Space for the New ✨

Together we’ll:
💫 Understand how your subconscious & brain chemistry really work
🌿 Learn how to break the “spells” of looping thoughts
⚡ Experience live muscle-testing & tapping for emotional release
🧘‍♀️ Flow through gentle yoga to open the body & energy pathways
🌬 Breathe your body back into balance
💓 Connect with your future self through guided meditation & Reiki

You’ll leave feeling calm, clear, and deeply reconnected to your inner power and peace. And remember: this isn’t just a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning—investing in yourself, making friends, and sharing space with like-minded women. It’s a healing journey that ripples outward, helping to heal your loved ones past, present, and future too.

📅 Sunday 16 November | 11 AM – 2 PM
📍 Glasgow City Centre
💷 Sliding scale £78 – £100

Hey lovely 💕

You know when you really want to make a change… like stick to better habits, stop overthinking, or just feel calmer inside… but no matter how much you try, you end up back in the same loop?
That was me too.

Then I started listening to this audio program called Beyond Willpower™ by my amazing coach Jean Fenwick - Midlife Empowerment Coach. And honestly… it’s already made me feel so much calmer.
Jean has this incredibly soothing voice that just melts the tension right out of you. It feels like she’s sitting right there beside you, guiding you back to yourself… gently, without any pressure or guilt.

The whole idea behind it is that lasting change doesn’t come from trying harder or forcing yourself to “be better”… it’s about rewiring what’s happening underneath… the patterns that have been running the show.

In the 4-part series, she shares:
🧠 Why willpower isn’t actually the problem (and what to use instead)
🌀 How to work with your brain, not against it
🎧 Hypnosis-style audios that help reprogram old patterns
🛠️ Little tools to rebuild motivation when life gets a bit much

It’s called a “private podcast” so you can listen anytime… no screens, no fluff… just calm, clear, powerful guidance.

I’ve grown so much with Jean by my side and just wanted to share her magic with you.

If you’ve been feeling stuck or a bit “all or nothing,” this might be exactly what you need right now.
Pop your earphones in, get comfy, and give yourself that moment.

Because the next version of you isn’t waiting… she’s already here… she just needs a little space to breathe. 💗

Hey lovelies 💕

You know when your skin just feels… tired? Dull, dry, or like it’s lost that lovely soft bounce?
That’s been me too… especially as my skin’s changed with age and hormones.

That’s where my Conditioning Cream comes in … a rich, nourishing treat that gives your skin the love it’s been craving.

It’s packed with beautiful, skin-loving oils:

✨ Brazil Nut Oil… rich in selenium and fatty acids that strengthen and protect your skin barrier, giving that dewy glow without heaviness.
✨ Macadamia Nut Oil… restores the soft, cushioned feel our skin loses over time, keeping it supple and smooth.
✨ Red Raspberry Seed Oil… full of antioxidants and omegas that calm, protect, and boost your natural radiance.
✨ Papaya Seed Oil & Extract… brighten and soften with gentle fruit enzymes for that “fresh-faced” look.
✨ AHA Fruit Acids & Alpine Willowherb… smooth, refine, and balance the skin beautifully.
✨ Vitamin E… the classic antioxidant that keeps your skin strong and healthy.

And that gorgeous scent… a blend of Frankincense, Lemongrass, Grapefruit, and Bergamot that uplifts your mood while your skin drinks in all the goodness.

It’s deeply hydrating but never greasy… just pure, plant-based comfort in a jar. I use it every day — it’s my “can’t live without” cream.

Every jar is handmade with love, prayer, and intention… healing music playing in the background and gratitude spoken over every ingredient. Skincare that feeds your skin and your soul 🌿💫

If your skin’s been feeling dull, dry, or tired lately… this might be the hug it’s been asking for 🫶

This is where tired souls come to rest.…

You know what my clients say the most?
“It felt like I’d been away on holiday.”
“I feel like a new person.”
“I forgot where I was.”
“I feel like I don’t even have a body… like I’m floating.”
“My body feels like noodles …so soft, so relaxed.”

And my favourite one…
“I tried so hard to stay awake so I didn’t miss all the good bits…
but it was just too relaxing -I couldn’t stop myself snoring!” 💤

That’s the magic of Awesome Hugs - it’s not just another treatment, it’s a full mind-body experience.
It’s where your body feels safe enough to finally let go…
your nervous system gets to reset…
and you remember what peace actually feels like.

Every session blends gentle touch, aromatherapy, guided breathing, healing frequencies, and loving intention.
I also share tips on how to look after yourself at home and often gift a wee sample to help you carry that calm with you.

Clients often send their mums, sisters, friends, or husbands afterwards - because when something touches your soul, you naturally want others to feel it too. 💚

If your body’s been whispering that it’s tired, overwhelmed, or just needs a proper hug…
come and experience it for yourself.

✨ You deserve to feel this good.
