Spring in your step 2023
Welcome to the Spring edition
I don't know about you but if you are reading this, it safe to say you hunker down over Winter and feel reborn with the Spring energies.
Here at Charis & Co I am in love with the spring bulbs I planted before Winter-puffy pink Tulips, mini Irises and Daffodils. I also invested in some Kawakawa plants which I will use for future products. The early signs of Spring bring so much hope, longer days and of course warm Sunshine.
Everything becomes so many shades of green and it is just spectacular. I love green, on a holistic level it relates to the Heart chakra. A beautiful emerald green energy which radiates out full of love. I have wisely used the introvert energy of Winter to finally decide on my colours for the website and logo-sage green. It represents who I am today. My decision came about after a cuppa with a friend who expressed how I changed my colour and logo so often and I realised she was right, I made it my mission to be clear about what Charis & Co was as a logo and colour. Thank you! You know who you are x
I wanted to share my thoughts on how to connect with this beautiful energy of growth and wellbeing.
*Appreciating the small things, put your hand on your Heart area and appreciate who you are in this moment-you are someones reason to smile x. Something I have learnt is I appreciate everything now, I tell people I appreciate them, the moments and well, everything
*Fresh air does wonders that breath in of invigorating crisp fresh air, open the windows or get outside, getting rid of the cooped up stale air in the home is so inspiring, it brings clarity and insights-I have much joy in Nature right outside my door.
*Find joy in planning something to look forward to, whether it's catching up with friends, mini holidays, a wellbeing mental health day to do absolutely nothing. Don't feel guilty for doing this it is a wonderful balm for both the body and soul, schedule the events on a planner to keep your mental wellbeing boosted
*Treat yourself to some TLC-your skin is the largest organ of your body so treat it well. Applying lotions can become more mindful and soothing with an affirmation being said try "I LOVE the skin I am in" or get a hair treatment (my fave is a blowwave) I feel so glam when I get it done x. A soak in the bath or booking a spa or sauna somewhere, feel the water cleansing and uplifting your energies.
*It's the end of Winter so Spring clean! Let those new Spring energies in and clear any clutter, cross something off your to do list, clear out your email inbox, I personally find this a fantastic time to evaluate my stuff-keep/sell or donate.
*Flowers whether foraged from the neighbours gardens or brought from the florist it really will brighten the day and by extension your coming days.
*Try a new recipe-this is one of my favourites to do!. I LOVE being in the kitchen and planning from the Heart a heartfelt meal simple or complex I give it a go. There is alot of in season fruits and vegetables to try. Citruses, asparagus, avocados and kumaras. I feel Mediterranean vibes at this time when it comes to food here in New Zealand. Feel free to email me at chariscandco@gmail.com with your creations. I would love to see them.
*Lastly new scents for Spring-a new candle, soy melts or diffuser can bring a real ambiance-check out my NEW Spring inspirations here beautiful florals of spring and more sophisticated scents are here and I am all for it!
Take care and blossom like the Goddess you are
