And just like that, it's November! 🍁

Is it just me, or does everything seem to speed up at exactly the same time as the days are getting shorter?

Christmas shopping, family plans, work, appointments and approximately 400 (or more!) things to remember before the end of the year.

I already know that so many of you will be busy making sure everyone else is organised, looked after and having a lovely time, but before November gets completely carried away with itself, can I suggest adding one more person to your list?

YOU 🤍

Whether it's a walk by the sea, a coffee with a friend, an afternoon with absolutely nothing planned or a lovely treatment at My Retreat, please make sure there's something in your diary that's just for you.

You don't have to wait until you're exhausted to deserve a little time out.

And remember, Christmas will arrive whether we're ready for it or not, so let's enjoy getting there 🎄

As nature prepares to rest, perhaps it's time we took the hint.

Trees don't struggle to hold on to their leaves. Flowers don't apologise for no longer blooming. Nature simply understands that there are times for growth… and times for rest.

I'm not suggesting we all disappear beneath the duvet until March (although there are definitely mornings when that sounds rather appealing!)

But I do think there's something we can learn from the season around us.

To slow down a little.
To seek warmth and comfort.
To nourish ourselves.
To conserve some of our energy rather than constantly spending it.

My latest blog is all about The Art of Hibernation - and five simple ways we can embrace a more restorative season without putting life completely on hold.

And there's another reason this subject has been particularly close to my heart recently…

Next week, I'll be introducing the final chapter of my Four Elements journey:

EARTH – Ground. Nourish. Restore.

For now, make yourself comfortable, find a quiet corner and have a read.

A final chance for a little golden glow…

If the colder weather has left your skin looking a little less radiant than usual, this might be a rather lovely end-of-October treat.

TRUFFLESQUE is Temple Spa's golden Hydrating Radiance Mask, designed to give skin an intensive boost of hydration and leave it looking firmer, plumper and more radiant.

And until the end of the month, when you spend £50+, you can add TRUFFLESQUE to your order for HALF PRICE - £32.50 instead of £65.

With Christmas gifts starting to creep onto our shopping lists, you could tick off a present or two and take advantage of the offer at the same time.

And there's another little bonus at the moment - FREE DELIVERY is on too!

So if you've had your eye on this one, don't leave it sitting in your basket for too long.

Love, Julia 💛

One final REPOSE reminder…

After a lovely extension through October, the REPOSE Buy One, Get One Free offer is almost at an end.

I've shared quite a lot about REPOSE over the past few weeks - not only because it's a beautiful relaxing night cream (and one I use within my WATER experience), but because this particular offer has a purpose behind it too.

For every promotional REPOSE duo purchased, £6 is donated to Alzheimer's Society or Alzheimer Scotland, helping to support their specialist Dementia Research Nurses.

So if you've been meaning to take advantage of the offer, this really is your final reminder!

Buy one REPOSE Relaxing Night Cream and receive a second one FREE.

And with FREE DELIVERY currently available too, it's a rather good time to order.

Have a look here: https://buff.ly/E8255C8

Thank you to everyone who has already supported this very special campaign.

Love, Julia 🤍

A little end-of-the-month treat… FREE DELIVERY is back!

If you've had something sitting in your Temple Spa basket, now might be a rather good time to go back to it.

There are some lovely offers still running as we reach the end of October, including REPOSE Buy One, Get One Free and TRUFFLESQUE for half price when you spend £50+ - and now you can have your order delivered for free too!

Or perhaps you're starting to think about Christmas gifts…

Whatever you're browsing for, enjoy the free delivery while it's here - I'm not sure how long this one will be around!

Have a little look here: https://buff.ly/U3rD8CX

And as always, if you'd like a little help choosing something for your skin - or somebody else's - just pop me a message.

Love, Julia 🤍

"Julia, I really fancy booking something, but I haven't got a clue what treatment to choose!"

I hear this quite a lot, and my answer is usually... That's what I'm here for!

We're all so used to making decisions about everything that even when we're treating ourselves, we feel as though we need to do our research and make sure we're choosing the right thing.

But I don't want your time at My Retreat to feel like another thing you've got to work out.

Maybe your shoulders have been feeling tense, you've had a few sleepless nights or life has just been a bit full-on lately.

Maybe you want to feel refreshed and energised, or perhaps you'd quite happily spend the next two hours wrapped in warmth with nobody asking you a single question.

And sometimes you might not even know what you need until we sit down and have a little chat.

That's the beauty of what I do. I get to listen, understand how you're feeling and use all my experience to create something that feels right for you.

No two women are the same, and I don't believe their treatments should be either.

So if you've been looking at my website thinking, "Ooh, that sounds lovely, but I don't know which one to book," please don't let that stop you.

Just send me a message and we'll work it out together.

I'd love to see you. 🤍

A little golden Christmas gift inspiration…

If you're starting to think about Christmas gifts, here's one for the skincare lover who appreciates something a little bit special.

TRUFFLE BRILLIANCE is one of Temple Spa's gorgeous Christmas gift sets - a beautifully presented collection from their luxurious truffle skincare range.

It's the kind of present that feels like a real treat to unwrap - whether you're buying for someone special or quietly adding it to your own Christmas wishlist!

And there's a good reason to be looking at your Christmas shopping now…

You might have seen me mention the TRUFFLESQUE offer. Spend £50 and you can add the luxurious golden face mask for HALF PRICE - just £32.50 instead of £65.

So if Christmas gifts are already on your list, it could be a lovely opportunity to get some shopping ticked off and take advantage of the TRUFFLESQUE offer at the same time.

Have a closer look at TRUFFLE BRILLIANCE here: https://buff.ly/rEvDe7y

I'll be sharing lots more of my Christmas favourites over the coming weeks - one gift at a time, so I promise not to overwhelm you!

Love, Julia 💛

One of my favourite things about living and working here is being just a couple of streets away from the sea 🌊

And I never get tired of it.

Some days it's calm and peaceful, and other days the wind is howling, the waves are crashing and you can barely hear yourself think!

But that's one of the things I love about it. It's never exactly the same two days running.

I think we're a little like that too. Some mornings we wake up full of energy, ready to get things done and feeling as though we could take on the world.

Other mornings we'd quite happily stay under the duvet with a cup of tea and not speak to another soul until lunchtime. 🤍

And that's okay.

We all have different days, different moods and different things going on in our lives, so why do we sometimes expect ourselves to feel exactly the same all the time?

It's something I think about a lot when I'm creating treatments at My Retreat, because what you need one day might be completely different from what you need the next.

Sometimes it's energy and a little lift. Sometimes it's warmth and comfort. And sometimes you just need someone to look after you for a while.

So whatever sort of day you're having today, be a little kind to yourself, lovely.

And if you can get outside for a little fresh air, even better 🤍

I've been thinking about something since being away in Bali... What's the point of working so hard to create a lovely life if we never actually make time to enjoy it?

I absolutely love what I do, and I know lots of you feel exactly the same about your work, your families and all the things that keep you busy. But sometimes we get so caught up in the doing that we forget about the enjoying.

The little days out.

The long conversations.

The walks by the sea.

The mornings when there's absolutely nowhere you need to be.

Or even just sitting down with a lovely cup of tea and drinking it while it's still hot. Now there's a luxury! 😂

Being away has reminded me how important those moments are, and how easy it is to keep putting them off because there's always something else that needs doing.

And with Christmas already beginning to creep into conversations (yes, I said it! 🙈), I think it's a lovely time to remind ourselves that life isn't just about getting through the next busy week.

It's about enjoying the bits in between too.

So here's a little question for you... What's one lovely thing you're going to make time for before the end of the year?
