My mum turned 80 and we are taking a little holiday to celebrate her life, concentrated time to nurture her, cook delicious meals, swim in the ocean and have bundles of belly laughs. I’m away from 3 - 10 November so not available for appointments over this time. I’ll still be available by email for any enquiries and back in the apothecary for appointments from 11th November. The website and skincare are still available should you need any skin & self nurturing whilst I’m away! Thank you and sending love 💕 Cushla

October in my garden and apothecary - the seedlings have mostly been planted out, the roses are all budding beautifully and beginning to bloom (I think we’ll be doing our first batch of Rose hydrosol next week), the bees are very busy, still empty beds waiting to be filled, harvesting calendula, making the most beautiful deeply nourishing oil infusions, my main rose geranium bush that was badly frost damaged has sprung vigorously back to life, making beautifully fresh, fragrant & hydrating hydrosol, honestly this is pure soothing magic for the skin. Soaps being mixed, poured, unmoulded, hand polished and wrapped.
I feel very proud of my abundant garden so full of life & biodiversity, totally spray free, no synthetic fertilisers, all pure organic goodness and loved so much. From my happy loved vibrant garden into each and every bottle of my skin care. Sending love ###

Spring energy. So many of my clients are saying they are feeling tired and depleted. It takes a LOT of energy to come out of Winter into Spring and we are naturally using our bodies more whether it’s in the garden, home or longer hours at work. Just as we clear out the Winter debris and weeds from the garden to prepare for the abundant season ahead we are also feeding the garden with nutrient dense compost, mulch, water, more sunlight - so do our bodies need just the same love, care and attention.
Spring greens are one of the most beautiful natural ways to remineralise and fortify our bodies for abundant energy. I love cooking and eating spring greens in soups, risottos, pies, omelettes and salads. There is a simple delicious Spring greens omelette recipe in my journal on my website, link in bio.
Go outside, get some sunshine, eat your greens, feel good. Lots of love ###

As busy women we need little rituals in our life. I make my skincare a little ritual each morning and night...and I believe my skin and self are more radiant because of it. Skincare to me is more than putting product on my face. Skincare is self time, and possibly the only time of the day that I spend truly caring for myself. I’d like to share my skincare rituals and introduce you to my collections, link in bio. Love Cushla x

More than a facial, I designed my Sensory facials for women who want:
Some peace and quiet time.
Deeply hydrated, nourished, glowing skin.
Relaxed face, shoulders, neck and tension released.
I would love to support you to feel calm and nurtured in your skin and in yourself.
Dm me to make an appointment. Love Cushla x

For the love of Rosemary…a herb of protection, remembrance, mood elevation, brain function, scalp and hair health and a host of other amazing medicinal benefits. It’s a favourite of mine and something I weave into my sensory facials, skin care and my home kitchen! I have recently made the most beautiful fragrant Rosemary hydrosol mist and for those of you that have been for a facial recently, would have received this lovingly massaged into your scalp. Rosemary is my dear dear friend and I thank her for all her magical gifts 💚
