The Sunday Reset - Inspired by Pink Grapefruit [Citrus paradisi]

A guide to embracing the new week 

 

Bright. Uplifting. Refreshing. 

Imagine it’s sunset, and you’re walking slowly through an orchard of lush grapefruit, with peel as blush-pink as the sky. You’re surrounded by the soft perfume of the fruit and—wait—is that a dash of peppermint? 

This is the magic bottled in our Natural Room Spray. 

A ritual reset 

Tangy and slightly tart, Pink Grapefruit is a truly uplifting essential oil. Why not ‘wake up’ each room with a spritz of our Room Spray. Its stress-relieving essence leaves a brightness in the air, the perfect way to reset for a new week. 


A nature reset   

Have you heard of social prescribing? Health practitioners give ‘prescriptions’ to help people engage in nature-based activities, walks and so on, to improve their mental and physical health. 

Even if you live in a built-up area, go for a walk. Explore a cathedral; take a look around a churchyard. Watch trains come and go.   


Thought for the week 

“Human beings were designed to walk and not just a stroll on a sunny day in a beautiful landscape. When we walk, we produce biochemicals which are so powerfully life-affirming that scientists have described them as ‘hope molecules’”.
