We planned a relaxed evening with a good scrub and a hair conditioning treatment. Thanks to some plumbing issues and an electric fire concern, it turned out to be more of a deep conditioning hair treatment.
2 fire engines, 10 firefighters, and a power trip later we were about to go back inside to rinse off.
Don't worry, everyone is okay (including the pets). And our hair is super soft!

Losing your momentum or feeling a bit disconnected doesn't mean you're broken. The burnout passes. Your spark will return, and you will find your way back to yourself. 💫🌸

The seasons are officially trading places, the shadows are stretching out, and the air smells like turning leaves 🍂🏹
Our Wild Hunt Bath Bomb is the ritual awakening you need. Crafted using traditional folklore herbs, it is packed with raw botanical ingredients specifically chosen to deeply boost your circulation, warm your skin, and give your nervous system that intense, electric rush of running barefoot through the woods at midnight.
If you are trying to soak up the last drops of natural summer warmth while your body quietly braces for the heavy "October slide," this is your sanctuary. It transforms your tub into a blood red, fiery escape that smells like ancient magic and crisp midnight air.
Run a hot bath, drop it in, and let the wild, blood-pumping botanicals wrap you in a protective boundary. Reclaim your wildness tonight. 🗺️🌲

3 ways to avoid ghosting your self-care:
1. Set 20 minutes aside each week to do something that fills your cup.
This time is a non-negotiable oppurtunity to do something for yourself. It could be a bath soak, reading a book, going for a run, doing a craft, or sitting down with a cuppa.
2. Check in with yourself.
Take a moment to really tune into the sensations and feelings in your body. Are you tense or stiff? Are you in pain? Are your hungry or thirsty? Or maybe overstimulated?
3. Tell your brain gremlins to shut up.
The hardest part of looking after your needs is fighting the voices in your brain that tell you "you don't deserve it". This is not true. You don't have to earn it.
What’s helping you stay on track this month?
It's tiring being this hot 😉

When: Tonight @ 6:00 PM BST
Where: The Sapphic Collective Discord
Two 16-minute episodes via YouTube, followed by a debrief. Grab a blanket, turn off the big light, and join us... 🎣⚰

The pain is real. No explanations owed.
When your nervous system’s volume dial gets jammed at maximum, simple everyday sensations turn into absolute torment. A soft t-shirt, a gentle touch from a partner, or a bedsheet pulling across your skin can feel like an open burn or being flayed alive. That is allodynia: a sensory misfire where non-painful signals register as acute physical agony.
Swipe through for the full breakdown on environmental triggers, medical buffers, sensory hacks, and supportive botanicals.

The air is shifting, the mornings are getting crisper, and I dunno about you but our respiratory system and joints are already feeling the change. 🍂🌬️
Our Hexhale Body Scrub is specifically formulated to act as a sharp, clearing reset for the seasonal transition. We’ve combined the intense, clarifying powers of menthol, rosemary, and eucalyptus with a deeply exfoliating pink salt base to create an absolute powerhouse for your shower routine.
