Secrets of a Butterfly

Rose and lavender oils I love

 

Hello lovely

 

I have missed you and missed blogging! Thank you for returning to read my blog entry today.

It's been such a long break this time hasn't it, & it wasn't a choice to be absent.

 

I have just been through a very tough spell health and emotion wise.

I don't feel I want to write much about that for the time being.

Instead I thought I would just do some small blog entries on things that I have in my life lately.

 

I want to record them for myself here, as well as share them with you.

Also it will simply be nice to put something on Secrets, whatever it is, doesn't matter, it's the point of just being here and writing I think that matters for now.

 

Today's picture is of some of my most loved oils ....these beauties have been a support to me, in so many ways.

 

If you can have an aromatherapy massage then maybe your own oils don't mean so much to you as these do to me. But because these can come to me by mail and be next to me when I need them, they are real treasures.

The quality of the oils in these products is such that the using of them is so therapeutic rather than just how they smell. They have a comforting soothing supportive energy.

I think when I have missed the flowers in the garden so much, this has been a way to have flowers close through the oils.

 

The Elemis de-stress oil is amazing, they have combined rosewood,melissa, majoram,geranium, rosemary, lavender and chamomile together in such a perfect way. It's proof that a synergy of flowers together take on a whole new depth of beauty, just like when you place flowers in a bouquet. This is one I will never stop using and I turn to for its relaxing properties.

 

The rose oil in the red and brown bottle is from Jurlique. I discovered this bottle in a sale online and you got twice the amount for the same price, plus as it was a left over Christmas special it was further reduced. I'm so glad I took a chance on it as like all Jurlique products the energy is wonderful.

 

They are an Australian bio dynamic farm and you can really tell the difference in the care they grow and prepare with, it's as if it's infused into each flower. There's an extra high vibration to their beauties. They really sing.

 

I use Rose for nurturing where id go for the lavender jurlique oil also shown above, to be relaxing. And chamomile to be soothing.

So the rose oil has a holding compassionate feel, and when working on self love I think it's a perfect thing to express that to yourself by applying this oil around the heart chest and lung area.

 

Also in the picture are some aromatherapy oil mixes for the burner, and heart spirit oil. Heart spirit oil is a beautiful little mix of essences that are for the heart chakra itself and the scent of rose oil, it is such a gift for any heart healing practices, where you're releasing deep sadness or hurt. It's a soothing balm for the heart in any way it needs it. You only need a little so though initially it's pricey, it lasts a long time.

 

There's also Shield of light spray here, a mix of oils and essences by Star Essences based in California.

If you're energetically sensitive like I am, and at times feel your aura is quite open, so you feel you pick up on energies or others emotion easily, then shield is great to spray around you and feel a greater protection or bubbled. But it's hard to get hold of in the uk.

 

So these are my treasures in the oil family, and I am so grateful to have them and the help they bring.

 

It's been good to spend time with you here today, so good.

Love and butterfly wishes

Kathryn

Hero product - Neom organic candles

 

I have been using Neom candles for about a year now, and i have to say they are the most beautiful i have come across, both in terms of the blends they use and also the effectiveness. They burn purely and smoke free, the scent fills the room  - but not so its over powering, and the essential oil blends are so gorgeously perfect that you want to turn to them again and again.

The other point to make is that they burn evenly, all the wax in the glass holder, which sounds simple enough but if you are an experienced scented candle user you will know that this is not often the case. Also the scent continues throughout the use of the candle.

These are organic products, 100% natural vegetable wax with pure essential oils, so they also work as a holistic treatment too. They can help you feel more energised or relaxed, happier or more clear in thought – depending on the treatment you select for your mood..

Along with candles, they also make pampering bath oils and organic room mists, hand washes and lotions.

My favourites in the candles are:
Restore a mix of Jasmine Ginger and Sandalwood.
Inspire - which is a mix of Violey Camomile and Cedarwood.
And Tranquility which is for use in the evening and is lavender, basil and jasmine.

Fairy confetti

Hi sweeties,

after enjoying the healing benefits of some sunshine, its turned a bit wet out the past few days, i have still been feeling ok, so i was able to do something nice for a change and painted my nails in these new polishes from Paul and Joe's summer collection called A Midsummer's night.

When i saw them online at Asos, I had to get the one called Fairy Queen because its like they have been sprinkled with dust!

I used the paul and joe base coat, then a paul and joe colour (08) i have had for ages (their bottles keep in good condition for so long) and then the fairy queen on the top, sealing with a top coat.
The glitter is in flakes and is irridesecent, to me its like you have dipped your nails in tiny confetti pieces (smiles)

the photo above has not been filtered so you can get an idea of what the colour is really like, its adding some sparkle to my day and i love its delicacy,

speak soon, love kat xxxx

Bright touches on cloudy days

 

 

I felt like painting my nails a nice uplifting colour.To make up for the grey skies.
So i chose this coraly pink, which i got lately from Wildswans.
Fnug is Scandinavian, and not a brand i have had before but i like how its turned out.
The colour is named "A-lister".

Divine blossoms

 
 Today i want to write about a most beautiful soap and holistic beauty company that i found in Country Living magazine last month...

 "Quintessentially English was founded in 1997 by Jacqui Sheard whose vision was to create organic handmade soap, beauty products and home & garden gifts in beautiful and unique packages. The 'Quintessentially English' apothecary has its home in Lacock, one of the prettiest villages in England. Quintessentially English has evolved from an awareness of the natural environment and a wish to help people regain a greater respect for the natural world."

I purchased these soaps Buttercup and neroli and Divine Blossom...this is what they say about their soaps, "Quintessentially English is an organic handmade soap company that works to an ancient artisan recipe using only the finest organic herbs and oils. It is hand-stirred, hand-cut and each bar individually wrapped, making each one special. Its lovely to use with luxurious bubbles and soothing properties." And here they are open, with their beautiful flower petals....i am using the one with the pansies at present and its wonderfully soft and rich. The quality of the oils definately make a difference too.

I also bought some aromatherapy oils...

And a divine blossom face cream for meditation, with jasmine, mimosa and rosehip...

And they do the most beautiful aromatherapy sprays...this one is named Angel Mist and has a blend of lavender, chamomile, geranium and neroli, it is heavenly!  (I keep it next to my angel.)

Qintessentially English also carry everything you would wish for in a beautiful and holistic gift shop, including candles, meditation music, angel guidance cards, books, incense, herbs and remedies,and bach flower essences.

Their own range of handmade beauty products includes the most divine sounding creams and hair care, face masks and bath oils.

Their website is a haven of all things tranquil and relaxing. The respect they have for the natural and healing properties of the flowers and herbs they use in their range is evident in the descriptions and beauty of their creations.

They cannot help but be nuturing and healing when made with such compassion and care.

If you need a little treat or something to help you in  healing, please take a look at their shop.

In love and light
