A Spring update from Sal x

Hello my beautiful Souls ✨

The sun is shining, the tulips are looking fantastic, the Grey Warbler is singing his little heart out and there are blossoms appearing on the old peach tree. All is well, and we have so much to be grateful for.

Spring is such a special time of year. It’s time to come out from under our cosy blankets and away from the warm fires and get ready to shine!

This is our very first newsletter and I’m so excited to share a little of what’s happening here at our wee sanctuary.

🌿 First things first…

I’ve had a few people asking if our house is for sale, but no it’s the neighbour! Ken my lovely neighbour, whom I know many of you have chatted with in the driveway over the years has moved into a rest home. I’m told he is very happy there, so we are now on the hunt for some lovely new neighbours. Who knows who the universe might send our way! 

📱 Secondly…

Please don’t hesitate to flick me a text if you can’t find an appointment time that suits you. I can sometimes work a little magic and move things around to find a time that works.

🎄 And lastly…

I’m a little reluctant to say this because it seems far too early but there are only a few more appointment spots until Christmas! 😳 So, if you have a particular day or time you love, it might be worth securing it now rather than leaving it to the Christmas rush.

That’s it from me for now, but read on for a little news from our other departments…

Happy Spring, my lovelies! 🌷

🌸 NEWS FROM THE BEAUTY BED

It’s PEDICURE time! 

Spring has arrived, which means it’s time to get those toes out and give them a little love! We have some gorgeous new gel colours for your spring pedicure, and there are plenty of pretty shades to choose from.

The great thing about a gel pedicure is that it:

✨ Dries instantly

✨ Lasts really well

✨ Stays glossy

And just to clear up a little gel myth Gel won’t “wreck” your nails if it is removed properly.

It’s when gel is peeled or picked off that it can take some of the natural nail plate with it, leaving your nails fragile and thin.

So please DON’T PEEL IT OFF! 😂

Let me do the removal for you and your nails will thank you.

And if gel isn’t your thing our pedicures are available in polish too.

✨ NEWS FROM THE FACIAL BED

What exactly is a Reiki Facial?

One of the facials on our menu is our Reiki Facial  and I often get asked “What’s that all about?”

Well, it’s a little bit different.

The Reiki Facial is a skin, mind and spirit tune-up all in one beautiful session. It’s an inner-peace-inducing experience, designed to nurture not only your skin, but your emotions and your whole sense of wellbeing too. It’s deeply relaxing and focuses on gentle, soothing touch, giving you a complete mental pause from your busy routine.

We begin with a little relaxation before moving into the facial with beautiful oils, cleansing, serums and crystal wands. Then, while your mask is working its magic the Reiki flows. ✨

🌿 NEWS FROM THE BOWEN BED 

What are those 2-minute breaks all about when you’re having Bowen?

If you’ve had a Bowen treatment before, you’ll know there are lots of little pauses between the gentle rolling moves. And you may have wondered “Why are we just lying here?” 

Well, those little pauses are actually an important part of the treatment. A Bowen treatment consists of a series of gentle rolling moves with frequent pauses between each move. Those two-minute breaks are when we allow the body to pause, process and respond. They can help:

🌿 Give the fascia and soft tissues time to settle

🌿 Allow the body time to assimilate the information from each movement

🌿 Give you time to rest, relax and reset

So please don’t feel like you need to fill the silence! The stillness is part of the treatment. Sometimes the magic happens in the quiet.

✨ NEWS FROM THE

REIKI BED 

Why is a Spring Reiki session a good idea?

After a couple of months of slower, heavier living, cosy evenings and less daylight, it’s perfectly understandable to feel like you’re still carrying a little bit of winter with you. But Spring is here!

Spring invites movement again, not just physically, but energetically too. It’s a beautiful time to pause, take a breath, clear out what no longer serves you and make a little room for something new.

A time to:

🌿 Release built-up tension

🌿 Reconnect with yourself and where you’re heading

🌿 Support emotional balance

🌿 Simply stop, breathe, and be

Think of it as pressing the reset button before stepping into the new season.

Sometimes we all need a little quiet time to hear ourselves again. 

🌙 NEWS FROM THE APOTHECARY

Our Sleep Vibes range has been a BIG hit!

We’ve created all sorts of lovely goodies to help you create your very own bedtime ritual. A little collection of scents, herbs, crystals and soothing rituals to help you drift off towards dreamland.

You can purchase the whole collection as a beautiful gift pack, or choose most of the goodies individually. Perfect for yourself or for someone who could use a little extra love and sleep magic.

Our Cleansing Oils are now arriving in bottles with a silver cap rather than the pump. The pump and the delivery van were simply not getting along! The oils themselves haven’t changed, just the packaging.

If you’d like a pump, just flick me a message and I’ll pop one aside for you.

We’re currently working on our next range. Watch this space because the new products should be landing very soon!

We’re particularly loving our “Clear the JuJu” Mist. More about that very soon… ✨

🔮 NEWS FROM THE MAGIC CORNER

We are now offering House Cleansings & Blessings.

This is an intentional ritual designed to help you mark a transition in your space. Clearing away old energy, releasing what belongs in the past and creating an atmosphere of peace, safety and positive intention.

It can be especially lovely when:

🌿 Moving into a new home

🌿 Moving into a new office or workspace

🌿 Beginning a new chapter

🌿 Simply feeling like your space needs a fresh start

___________________

Did you know there’s a little ritual you can add to something as ordinary as your morning coffee.

As you stir, set your intention. Use clockwise stirring as a symbol of drawing something towards you such as positivity, abundance or love. And counterclockwise stirring as a symbolic way of releasing or letting go.

So while you’re waiting for that first glorious sip, take a breath think about what you want to invite into your day or what you’re ready to let go of.

There’s a little magick in everything.

And remember…

Everything we do here at Flower Power Skin & Soul is wrapped in

🌸 PEACE

🌸 LOVE

…and just a little bit of MAGICK ✨

Love Sal and Trin xx
