Welcome to March notes Last weekend we celebrated International Women’s Day and this weekend we are celebrating Mother’s Day although most Women mothers and Carers know that every day is our day. It was lovely celebrating our role in the world as women as some days it can seem like a real struggle to find our strength and aspiration but somehow, we do it and it is important to celebrate and learn about each other as a gender, how we made it or are making it work. Some women negate this and feel it is not worth celebrating our gender but in doing so you walk around blind never reflecting on the things we take for granted now as women and what we aspire for the next generation of women. I appreciate International Women’s Day and long may it continue. I remember when I first heard about it and did not really know what it was about and contributed mood board shoes clothes the works. I soon realised that it wasn’t that type of party. I have a better understanding now. On Sunday we will show gratitude to or think about the wonderful women and carers who are raising the next generation. Some with a partner or some alone. We know that parenting is know easy task and so those that are prepared to be that backbone for a child until they can stand up on their own are owed a debt of gratitude for taking time out and nurturing the young. As children and sometimes as adults we can take it for granted and may not realise until the one that cared for us is gone and left a huge hole that can be hard to fill. But we do fill it eventually and keep a special memory and space in our heart for the one we lost. Whatever you do on Sunday try to make it your day and if you are on your own do something nice just for you. If the person still lives in your memory the take a moment and remember the good time you once shared. Happy Mother’s Day. This week a new pulse spot was added to the sensory range so look out for some more information about it.

We use only the finest natural ingredients that are available and the products are tested but not on animals. If you are thinking of treating yourself or that special bestie pop over to the shop.
