I wasn't even trading today... but somehow I've still ended up at an All-Are Love wellness event π
I think it's official... I just can't keep away. π
Today I popped along as a customer and purchased some gorgeous hair serum from Katie Katie Sosa. I cant wait to use it π
The next event is Monday 31st August at The Irish Centre, Manchester.

Sometimes half an hour is good enough βπ
The rest of the family have wandered off to check out the pool, so I've very happily claimed a quiet corner with a cuppa and my Kindle.
I know some people love being busy every minute they're away, but I honestly love these little pockets of peace. A cuppa, a good book and a bit of sunshine... I'm happy. π
Now... the important question.
If someone gave you 30 minutes completely to yourself, how would you spend it?

Change of scenery this weekend
No big plans for me this weekend. Just dog walks, fresh air, a good book and hopefully a slice of cake somewhere along the way.
Sometimes doing "not very much" is exactly what's needed.

Hands up if you're the person who suddenly remembers teacher gifts the night before the last day of school...
That was totally me too!
If that's you this year, I've got some lovely little honey gifts perfect for teachers, teaching assistants, keyworkers or childminders.
They're thoughtful, a bit different, and ready to gift
Pop me a comment if you'd like the link to order π

It's funny how one unexpected conversation can change everything.....
Sometimes it's the chat with a friend that gives you an idea and everything just falls into place.
That's exactly where I am right now, and it's got me thinking...
What's one thing you're working towards at the moment?
It doesn't have to be anything huge. I'd love to hear what you're excited about.

π Did you know there are three types of honey bee in a hive? π
π One Queen
The queen is the only bee that lays eggs and is the mother of the entire colony.
π Hundreds of Drones
Drones are the male bees. Their main role is to mate with a young queen from another hive.
πThousands of Worker Bees
Worker bees are all female. They do everything from collecting nectar and pollen to caring for the young, building the honeycomb, guarding the hive and making honey.
