I need your hair. ✂️✨

To expand the Root & Rune professional portfolio, I’m opening up slots for content models. I’m looking for real bodies and real growth to showcase the honest transformations that happen here in the Rune Room.

The Offer:
I am offering discounted services on all facial and body waxing in exchange for high-quality before/after photos and videos.

The Services:
Facial Waxing: (Brows, Lip, Chin, Full Face)
Body Waxing: (Legs, Arms, Back, Chest, Shoulders, or Full Torso)

The hairier the better. I want to show exactly what these treatments can do. If you’ve been letting it grow out, now is the time to book.

Your Privacy:
This is a professional, consent-led space. Your identity is always protected—all content is framed to avoid faces (unless we are doing a facial wax, where I can use professional blurring or cropping). You are an anonymous canvas for my craft
Root & Rune is a private rural studio, roughly a 30-minute drive from Northampton, Leicester, and Coventry. Easy to reach, but completely private.

Let's get you smooth and get the Rune Room on the map.

I don't know about you, but May has been non stop for us 🛑. For our this week we are taking the rare opportunity to press pause on everything and take a day to lounge around, nest, and cuddle up with our animals.
Rest isn't earned, it's required.

Gonna get soppy for a minute. When you spend your youth just trying to survive the day, building a future feels like an abstract concept. Sapphic Self isn't just a shop; it’s the safe haven we needed when we were younger. It’s built on community, accessibility, and the radical act of choosing to thrive.
We’re mapping out a future we never thought we'd see, and we are so incredibly glad you’re here in the coven with us ❤️ ✨

The "Mom-Lesson" you actually needed: Mastering the Laundry. 🧺🧼
Adulting is 80% about just trying to keep the laundry pile from becoming a sentient being. Whether you were never taught how to talk to your machine or you’ve just been hitting the "Start" button and praying for the best, today’s is for you.

We’re unlearning the stress of the "overwhelming chore" and reclaiming it as an act of self-sufficiency. Clean, soft flannels and fresh bedsheets aren't just a vibe—they are the foundation of your sanctuary.

What’s in the slides:
✨ The 5-Step Ritual: From checking pockets (save your tissues!) to that immediate unload.
✨ The Additives Cheat Sheet: Sorting out the minefield of bio, non-bio, and what is fabric softener.
✨ Decoding the Dial: Finally understanding what the settings actually do for your clothes.
Want the full, honest deep-dive? Keep a sharp lookout for Tia’s blog post on the subject for the blunt truth on laundry science.

Unload when the lock clears and dry fast—your safe haven is waiting.

Restocking our plain wheat bags. I can't believe we've sold out before I managed to restock a second time. Sending love to all of you using one of our handmade heat packs to soothe some pain. I see you ❤️

Kimmie has been dreaming up a potential new bath spell, and obviously, I volunteered to test it for... science. 🧪🌿 I’m currently a botanical soup and I’m not even mad about it.
It’s a chamomile-heavy sleep spell—no lavender, no milk, just pure herbal bliss with rosemary, bay, and oats.
I’m currently feeling like a pampered mermaid and my skin feels like silk. I think this one is a keeper. Should we add it to the shop? ✨🧜‍♀️
