Essential Blends is now closed for Christmas, and I’ll be reopening on Monday 5th January 🎄
You’re still very welcome to place orders online during this time, and any orders placed over the Christmas break will be dispatched as soon as I return on 5th January.
What a year it’s been…
An up-and-down journey in many ways, but such a joy to be ending the year on a high 💫

I’ve been so touched by all the wonderful reviews, kind messages and positive feedback you’ve shared.

Hearing how the products genuinely enhance your skincare routines and support your wellbeing means more to me than I can put into words.

Thank you, truly, for every single order.
I appreciate each and every one of you, and I feel incredibly grateful to be doing what I do, supported by such a lovely community 🩷

I’ll be honest, I’m feeling a little worn out now (who said running a small business was easy? 😂), so I’m heading into some much-needed rest, self-care and pampering, ready to recharge for Father Christmas’ visit ✨🎄

Wishing you a truly wonderful festive season, filled with warmth, joy, rest and moments of cosy calm.

✨ I can’t wait to keep you in the loop about some exciting things coming next year…

Thank you for being here, and for being part of the Essential Blends journey 💚
With love & gratitude,

My Restore Bath Salts are infused with a blend I first created years ago for a friend who needed comfort. I called it Heart Food — a mix of bergamot, orange, frankincense and geranium that brings calm, uplift and grounding all at once.

Paired with Dead Sea and Himalayan salts to ease muscles, soften skin and soothe the mind.
A little restoration for body and heart. ✨💛

✨ Festive Calm + Christmas Update ✨

I had the most gorgeous Festive Meditation evening last night with some wonderful ladies, thank you to everyone who came and made it so special 💛

The room was filled with uplifting aromas of Frankincense, Myrrh, Benzoin & Sweet Orange…

Essential oils are such a beautiful way to lift the mood and bring back a little of that childlike festive wonder ✨

That's why I love blending them into the products so while your skin is nourished so is your mood!

Take a moment for yourself this weekend, light a candle, pop an oil in the diffuser, slow down your skincare ritual… and soak up the magic 💫

🗓️ Christmas Delivery Cut-Off
Order by Wednesday 17th December for delivery before Christmas.

Orders on 18th–19th December will be fulfilled where possible, otherwise they’ll dispatch once I reopen in January.

🎁 Festive Break
Essential Blends will be taking a rest from 5pm on Friday 19th December, returning on Monday 5th January, refreshed and ready to keep your skin, mood and wellbeing supported through the rest of winter.

🎄 Brighton Christmas Fair
I’ll be at The Tempest on Sunday 14th December, it’s like stepping into Santa’s grotto! 🎅✨
Come say hello and pick up some beautiful handmade treats.

Thank you so much for all your love and support, it truly means the world ❤️
