Wellness blog: Self-care

We spend a great deal of our time nurturing others.  We also get caught up in the day to day workings of our lives and we forget one very important thing... to look after ourselves.

As a result, we become worn out, stressed out and run down.

Self-care is so important! Sometimes we have the belief that in order to be a good mother, wife, sister, daughter, manager, employee etc we need to put others needs before ours. Read on to find out whether it's time for you to ramp up your self-care....

They say life is about the journey, but when that journey becomes stormy…how do we weather the terrain? When things aren’t going to plan though, feeling like we’re staying on track while juggling all the typical balls of life isn’t something that comes naturally to most of us.

Babe founder Kim Peirce is sharing her essential oils tips with us. Think of it like a super quick crash course on putting together a little remedy kit of 5 essential oils that can help lift your mood when the pressure is starting to build...

The team over at Mary Grace have taken the time to share their thoughts on mindfulness and their favourite mantras, which is something we absolutely love at Retreat Yourself. 

So come join us for a moment of self reflection and learn a little more about Mary Grace's favourite mantras that can hopefully help us change our mindset and to become more positive.

There's also a sneaky discount code to use on Mary Grace's amazing range of skincare and body products, so read on... 

It's no secret that at Retreat Yourself we love to remind people of the importance of quality me time. One of our favourite sayings is "you can't pour from an empty cup" and we truly believe in the importance in taking the time just for ourselves, to refill our cups. 

If you had unboxed our Summer Box you have come across the vibrant and colourful booklet, Me Time by Jessica Sanders.

In this blog Jessica shares with us what self-care is and how we can learn to practice it in our lives. 

One of our favourite ways to enjoy a summer afternoon is spending quality time with our friends or family with a refreshing drink in hand. 

In this recipe you won't have to squeeze apples or grate fresh ginger to get the natural flavour in these virgin mojitos... With the addition of the Nexba Apple Pear and Ginger Kombucha, which is one of the flavours which featured in our Summer Box, all the hard work has been done for you!
