New Year, Better You

Can you believe it's 2020?

It's crazy how time flies by when we are always planning for tomorrow; tomorrow’s to-do list, our next trip, our next bank holiday (not for a while sadly). When you’re caught up in planning for tomorrow, it's easy to neglect yourself and your skin. So here at Connock London we want to make 2020 the year of a Better You.

Self-love is massive for 2020 and on everyones agenda for feeling more blessed and less stressed. 

Here are our top tips on how to give a little self love this year...

1. Light a candle and have a bath 

The easiest way to unwind is to light a candle, run the bath, add bubbles and some Kukui Oil Bath & Shower Oil for extra luxury. Enjoy a film, an audio book or maybe some relaxing music but step in, switch off and sink into your gorgeous bubble bath.

Perfect with: Our Candles or Our Body Care Range

2. Meditate for 10 minutes every day

Studies show 10 minutes is all you need to overcome stress and anxiety and help with concentration. Open spotify or ask Alexa to play "Meditation Music", sit or lie down and just take 10 minutes to concentrate on your breathing and recenter yourself. 

We recommend: Lighting an Andiroba Candle to transport you to open calmness.

3. The art of saying 'No'

Fear of missing out (FOMO) can move aside because this year it's all about JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out). Say no to the night out drinking and say yes to a night in your pj's and slippers, maybe a bath, moisturise your whole body, watch some Netflix, light your Kukui Oil 3-Wick Candle and order take away. Now doesn't that sound amazing?

We recommend: Kukui Oil Polish & Glow Set to prep your skin for a night in.

4. Clean and organise your home 

There's nothing more satisfying than everything being where it should be. Take a day to sort through those unwanted clothes, packed drawers, kitchen utensils and dust away those counter tops. Give the sheets and room a spray, maybe place a few Kukui Oil Reed Diffusers in each room and Scented Ceramics in your wardrobe and drawers to refresh your home making it into an oasis you’re excited to come home to.

5. The beauty of cooking for yourself

After your home is all clean and organised. Burn the candle in the kitchen, open up that cook book and treat yourself to a home cooked meal. Cooking is therapeutic, helps save money and also helps the brain stay active, creative and healthy. Plus cooking means you’re also rewarded with an amazing meal at the end and this sense of achievement is beneficial for both your brain and your stomachs!

6. Book that trip you've always wanted 

A simple way to make the days easier to get through especially in a dry, cold, vegan Jan, is to have something exciting to look forward to. Maybe it's sun, maybe its ski, whatever it is, book it now and feel that tingle of excitement once the countdown has begun.

We recommend: A luxury trip to Jumeirah Vittaveli in the Maldives or maybe a staycation at the gorgeous Limewood Hotel & Spa.
