CARRIE'S HOLISTIC RECOMMENDATIONS
Here's some wellness tools Carrie loves using and you might just do too! 🧡
LUMIE BODYCLOCK
This gentle wake-up (and get to sleep) clock helps regulate your sleep/wake cycle naturally, perfect for dark mornings. It supports a peaceful start to your day, giving you the chance to wake up earlier and carve out more 'me time' for yourself.
ESSENTIAL OIL FOR SLEEP
This blend will help you relax and unwind, making it easier to drift off to sleep. It combines calming oils like lavender, jasmine, and sandalwood to promote a sense of peace and tranquility. Simply add a few drops to your diffuser or pillow before bed to help reduce stress and encourage restful sleep.
ESSENTIAL OIL FOR STRESS
This calming blend will soothe your mind and body during stressful moments. A mix of geranium, orange, and nutmeg essential oils, to reduce tension, uplift your mood, and promote relaxation. Perfect when you need to unwind — add it to a diffuser to create a calming vibe.
PUKKA TEA
My favourite brand of herbal tea. Plenty of flavour and contains no caffeine, so it's great to drink at any time of the day. Try it as an after dinner ritual or replace your afternoon cuppa with this if you're struggling to sleep. This kit will give you plenty of choice to get started.
ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER
Use an essential oil diffuser to stay focused during work, relax in the evening, or lull yourself to sleep at bedtime - just fill up with water and add a few drops of your favourite essential oil to match your mood. Take a look at some of the ready made blends I recommend.
SLEEP HEADPHONES
These sleep headphones are perfect for falling asleep to soothing sounds or meditations. Comfortable and wireless, they let you drift off without the discomfort of regular headphones —ideal for a peaceful night’s rest without losing an earbud somewhere in the duvet!
NEAL'S YARD REMEDIES
Natural, organic remedies that nurture both your body and mind. Whether it's skincare or essential oils, their products bring a touch of nature’s healing to your daily routine. I love their hand wash and hand creams for adding a bit of bathroom luxe.
DRY FACE BRUSH
This facial brush gently exfoliates and deep-cleans your skin while supporting lymphatic flow, reducing puffiness and promoting a radiant, healthy complexion. A simple way to elevate your skincare routine.
DRY BODY BRUSH
Body brushing exfoliates your skin and stimulates lymphatic flow, helping to reduce toxins, improve circulation, and leave your skin feeling smooth and refreshed. Brush towards your heart before a shower or Abhyanga home massage, for the ultimate self care ritual.
KITSCH HAIRCARE
Haircare Bars offer a sustainable, plastic-free alternative to traditional shampoos and conditioners. Infused with nourishing ingredients, the bars cleanse, hydrate, and strengthen your hair, all while being travel-friendly and eco-conscious. Ideal for all hair types, leaving your hair soft, shiny, and full of life.
COLLAGEN
Collagen supports skin, hair, joint health and also contributes to overall mood improvement. The glycine in collagen promotes better sleep and calmness, which are key for mood regulation. Mix it into your soup, stock or smoothie for ease.
PROTEIN POWDER
It can be hard to get enough protein in your diet, but this powder will help support muscle repair, recovery, and overall health. It’s great for boosting energy levels, maintaining healthy skin, and supporting brain function. The vanilla option makes it pleasant tasting enough to add to your morning yogurt or smoothie.
JOURNAL
Journaling is a powerful practice for reflecting, setting goals, and fostering personal growth. It encourages mindfulness, creativity, and overall well-being. Try doing it in the morning and/or evening to capture your thoughts and track your journey toward a more intentional life.
ESSENTIAL OIL FOR ANXIETY
Rose geranium essential oil is a great natural remedy for anxiety, offering a calming, balancing effect on the nervous system. Its soothing floral scent helps reduce stress and promotes relaxation, making it perfect for diffusing or adding to a bath.
SUPPLEMENTS
To address nutritional gaps, incorporate a high-quality multivitamin and mineral supplement to help balance deficiencies and support overall health. Opt for one that's formulated for easy absorption to maximise its benefits. I prefer to use BioCare.
BONE BROTH
Bone broth is packed with collagen, amino acids, and minerals that support gut health, joint function, and the immune system. After stress or illness, it helps replenish nutrients and aids in recovery. Simply make yourself a cup of it, or add it to soups and gravies.
MAGNESIUM BATH SALTS
If your body or mood feels crampy, it's time for a bath. Adding magnesium or Epsom salts helps relax muscles, ease tension, and improve your mood by supporting healthy magnesium levels, which are essential for stress relief and overall well-being.
