NURTURE YOUR INNER FLAME
When you light an affirmation candle, you use the flame to manifest positivity into your life. The calming experience is the ultimate moment of self-care as you quietly take a breath in and out to release negative thoughts and allow light and happiness in.
FIND YOUR BEST PRACTICE
This simple and stylish mat carrier will motivate you to get to your next yoga class. Make it in muted colours to add to the zen experience or go with a colour punch to enhance the positivity of your reflective me-time. The carrier is also a stylish storage solution that'll keep your mat handy for a peaceful yoga session at home.
BRING THE OUTSIDE IN
The flower bar display trend is a perfect way to show off the best of this season's foraged flowers and foliage. Step outside, breathe deep, take a walk and see what you can collect. Be creative with your foraged finds as you make your arrangement, then reflect on the beauty of nature on show right there in your own home.
