Hello June

Pinch. Punch. It's the First of the Month. June is here - a whole new month. What are you going to do with it? Is it time for a fresh start or for keeping up the good work? How are your self-care resolutions going? If you feel you're making yourself a priority and are putting together a physical and mental well-being regime, then that's great. If, however, you feel as if you've fallen back into your old ways and are neglecting your own needs, then it's time to take action.

Grab your diary or calendar - there's a whole new set of thirty days to be filled. Look at each day and think about your schedule. Now block out thirty minutes every day for ME TIME. It doesn't have to be the same time each day, just choose what works for you. If you think you haven't time, find it (is your well-being less important than watching an episode of EastEnders?).

You can do anything you like in this half hour, have a bath, read a book, do some yoga, draw or paint, go for a walk, write in your diary or chat to a friend. The activity is up to you, what's important is that it makes you feel good.

​The birth flower of June is the rose and that's the theme of the latest gift guide. Treat yourself to its beauty, its fragrance or even its taste. Appropriately the rose signifies "a return to happiness".
