Self-Care Sunday | Nature

This Self-Care Sunday we talk about the mental and physical benefits of getting out in nature. Whether that’s by exploring a nearby forest or woodland, sitting by the ocean, taking a dip in a secret stream, basking in the sunshine in your local park, or tending to your house plants (and if you don’t have any, get some!)

Mental Health Awareness Week 2021 #ConnectWithNature

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week and the theme this year is #ConnectWithNature. So many of us have turned to nature in the long months of the pandemic, so for this weeks blog we wanted to talk about the importance of taking time for yourself, and the way that spending time outdoors can be such a hugely positive influence on the mind and body.
