Liz's Diary
If you’re anything like me, the start of February and coming of Spring is a sure motivation for getting up in the morning. Longer days, the vaccine breakthrough and a light at the end of the tunnel hopefully means we’ll all be able to be together again soon.
One of the greatest pleasures I have in life is a good walk and especially at the moment, it’s the main exercise that we all CAN do! There is always something spectacular in each season and this was me a few days ago enjoying a crisp ...
Welcome to 2021 dear friends of TEMPLESPA
I wonder how each of us felt when the clock struck midnight and 2020 became 2021?
We all lived our own version of last year, facing the challenges with highs and lows, learning to adapt and finding a way of bending and reacting to change and uncertainty.
As I reflect ...
While this year’s celebrations may be different for all of us, I am sure you’ll agree, this is still one of the most magical times of the year. For me, this year I’ve had the time to really plan and so far as presents are concerned, wrap them early (see my gift guide for great ideas at all price points), the Christmas cake and pudding have been made, the house is also being decorated early this year, our gifts neatly placed in our TEMPLESPA gift bags under the sparkling tree waiting to deliver or ...
Don’t you just love this time of year? Early this morning I was walking along the beach as the sun rose and the sky and the air seemed to have its own special aura and feeling and the golden hue that comes from the changing foliage is just spectacular.
We don’t actually recognise Halloween, a rather strange and frightening concept I feel! We do however adore “Autumn-fest” and any opportunity to celebrate the wonderful pumpkin! In our household this trusty vegetable ...
None of us ever could have predicted the way 2020 has panned out. For us, it symbolised the 20th anniversary of TEMPLESPA. That speaks of parties, champagne, fabulous memories and inspirational speeches, to name but a few. Lockdown, isolation, masks, furlough, social distancing and sanitisation would be words associated with serious health issues, but in fact they have become the lexicon of society all over the world whether one is very well or very poorly.
I for one missed seeing our beautiful ...
I love a new product and when TEMPLESPA gets creative and dives into development, nothing excites me more. The collaborative process, the inside out refinement (from texture to fragrance), the tenacity of our amazing team to ensure excellence and results-driven formulas, not to mention choosing a name! Creating a new product is a very special process to witness and one I am always grateful to be a part of.
This Autumn we are launching 3 incredible, standout products, each of them ...
If you’ve followed my monthly diary before, you’ll know that Mark and I are staycation converts and have been enjoying a week or two at home during the beautiful summer months for a number of years now, so I’ve got the skinny on how to do it well! My team at TEMPLESPA urged me to share some of my top fave tips in the hope you’ll find some fresh ideas.
In these unprecedented times, a staycation may be an imposed vacation anyway, but don’t think of it as punishment and even if you feel like ...
When we’ve got a lot going on in our minds, the mental chatter can be hard to switch off from, so here are my tried and tested tips for getting into a restful state prior to sleep-time, settling into a good relaxation ritual.
In general, we need 7-8 hours of sleep to allow our mind & body to recover and cells to renew.
So my first tip is to invest in the best pillows you can afford and if you can’t budget for a new bed right ...
