The Kitchen Witch

April ended with a beautiful day full of warm sunshine, what a lovely parting gift.
I hope May has got the memo and the warm weather continues. It was a joy to walk the dogs and feel the sun on my skin, my serotonin got a much needed boost.
May is one of my favourite months, the fields are full of lambs, the cows have been turned out, birds are nesting, flowers are blooming and the leaves on the trees are finally growing.
May your May be joyful and blessed 💜

Sweet Dreams Pillow Spray

Lack of sleep causes stress which increases cortisol and the side effects of that’s are insomnia, funny right?

For anyone that has sleepless nights I feel you I really do. I’ve had insomnia for years, caused by stress, anxiety and ptsd. My cortisol levels are at an all time high resulting in lack of sleep, brain fog, cold hands and feet, headaches & low energy in an afternoon. I have zero stress in my life today but my body has been trapped in a vicious cycle for that long it doesn’t know it can stop. I’m determined to break that cycle starting with better sleep and that’s where this spray comes in.

Essential oils are not just for smelling amazing they each have magical properties that can heal. I’ve made a blend of oils that are proven to relax the body which will help you drift off to sleep and in return will lower your cortisol 💜

💜💜💜April💜💜💜

I’m slightly late to the April party but as they say better late than never.

Later lighter nights, warmer sun (when it’s not hiding behind rain clouds) birds tweeting, flowers blooming and brighter skies.

It feels like spring needs to spring a little bit harder this week but between the the gusts of wind and the torrential rain the magic of this season is bursting through. Don’t underestimate the power of a bit of sunshine.

A little relaxing care package to help you unwind and regulate your stress levels

Easy to use, effective and the best bit is they are nontoxic

It all started with a lovely lady at work who suffers with arthritis in her hands, swollen and red knuckles, stiffness and reduced grip and a whole lot of pain. Ibuprofen was causing her stomach issues and the topical gels wasn’t strong enough. I asked her if I made her a magic potion would she be my guinea pig. Four weeks later the redness and swelling has gone, the mobility in her hands has improved and the pain has subsided.

This little pot of magic is £5.20 to place an order or to ask any questions please message 💜

Cleansing oil

Formulated with lightweight plant oils, which emulsify (or lather) when combined with water. This allows oil cleansers to effectively cleanse away dirt and impurities without stripping or weighing down the skin, making them a great option for those with dry or sensitive skin types.
Traditional facial cleansers can strip the skin of all bacteria, good and bad. Oil cleansing leaves the good bacteria and microbes, which can help prevent skin infections like acne.

£7.50

Vitamin C

Packed full of magical antioxidants this oil brightens skin, boosts cell turnover and hydrates tried skin.

£7.50

Vitamin A

Do you know what retinol is? I’m sure you all know that it’s magic in a bottle that helps reduce fine lines, boosts collagen and promotes cell turn over. But do you know how it’s made? Most over the counter retinol is lab produced using synthetic Vitamin A and a whole bunch of other chemicals. There’s nothing wrong with that if that’s your thing. But what if you could use natural Vitamin A on your skin? No reactions, no side effects, no red skin, no dry skin, no burning sensation. Just natural, organic plant oils working their magic to quite literally feed your face.

This turn back time serum is just £7.50

💜💜 March 💜💜

We’re here! We’ve finally made it….

The darkness is finally starting to lift, the SAD will quickly ease, your mental health will improve and joy will soon fill your soul.

The glimmers of spring are clearly visible now with the daffodil and snowdrops in bloom, the willow trees are starting to bud, blackthorn and cherry plum trees have flowered, lambs are playing in the fields, the March hares are chasing away and the sunlight is lingering a little longer in the evening.

Pause for just a moment today and take a look at the magic that is spring 💜

Mothers Day Gifts 💜

Mums are hard to buy for, we don’t actually want anything other than our children to be happy. We love flowers, a little bunch of tulips or daffodils is perfect or our favourite sweet treat but what we would really enjoy is some time to wind down. An uninterrupted bath, an early night and a full 8 hours sleep. Treat the mum(s) in your life to a little bit of relaxation.

All our products are hand crafted using natural and organic ingredients. They are none toxic and vegan friendly which makes them great for sensitive skin.

Please message with any questions or to place an order 💜

A natural body butter that hydrates dry and dull skin

Unlike a body lotion that is watered down and pumped full of chemicals to stop the water from going mouldy a body butter is thicker and creamier, has no water in the ingredients so requires no toxins, chemicals or preservatives.

Made with organic plant butters, oils, locally sourced beeswax and essential oils this body butter is 100% natural.

Packed full of vitamins that can help reduce fine lines, brighten skin, ease eczema, promote collagen and clear acne. Nature really does produce everything we need 💜

Depression…..

It comes and it goes, sometimes it’s a quick visit, sometimes it gets a little too comfortable and over stays it’s welcome.

It’s ok to take time for yourself, to have down time, to do nothing at all. Cancel plans, ignore texts, let the laundry pile up. Binge watch your favourite show, get lost in a book, curl up under a blanket. Eat your favourite food, walk in the woods, meditate. Just don’t do nothing for too long.

Your mental health matters, everything will be ok 💜

Oil Cleansing is not a new trend infact it’s been around for 1000’s of years. Think Nefertiti, Cleopatra and Julius Caesar. They traditionally would have just used an olive oil or maybe an almond oil, rubbed in to the skin then soaked in hot water before being scraped down. This kept them clean and well moisturised in the hot Egyptian sun.

Oil cleansing is a natural way to unblock your pores, the castor oil will pe*****te deep into your skin and loosen the set sebum and dirt. After a few minutes of massage you will start to feel little bits of grit on your face, that is all the grime that was clogging your pores.

The magic behind it all is “like attracts like” the natural plant oils gently rubbed into your face acts like a magnet for your natural skin oils and in the process pulls out all the dirt, sweat and dead skin cells. Leaving you with a beautifully, deep cleaned face. And because it’s all natural there’s no nasty chemicals to strip away the good bacteria that your skin needs to protect itself.
