Nature’s Reminder to Rest

Nature’s Reminder to Rest

After experiencing an amazing summer — finally blessed with sunshine, longer evenings, and those

stunning sunrises and sunsets — we’ve had joyful, busy days spent with friends and family.

Now, as we welcome autumn, the season begins to shift. The days grow shorter, the air a little

cooler, and even the bees begin to slow down.

They don’t hibernate, but they move more slowly, feeding on the honey they worked so hard to

make all summer.

Just like them, it’s our time to rest, restore, and nourish ourselves.

October feels like a moment to pause and reflect on all you’ve achieved so far this year.

What do you want to let go of?

What do you want to carry forward with more focus and simplicity?

The past few months have been very full, so I’m personally ready for slower days. For a change, I’m

even looking forward to darker nights — lighting the fire, enjoying cosy evenings, and giving myself

permission to just be.

So, light that candle, pour your tea, read that book you’ve been putting off, and embrace the slower

rhythm of the season.

Essential Oils for the Seasonal Transition

Diffuser Blend

 2 drops Cinnamon – Enhances mood and reduces stress

 2 drops Orange – Calms anxiety and promotes warmth and happiness

 2 drops Clove – Uplifts mood and combats mental fatigue

�� Add 4–6 drops of Eucalyptus to your diffuser

Eucalyptus has powerful antibacterial properties to help fight germs — especially helpful during cold

and flu season.

I love keeping a diffuser in the hallway with eucalyptus to help keep bugs at bay. You can even add a

few drops to your mop bucket while cleaning floors.

It’s also wonderful for clearing congestion and soothing coughs.

Honey — Nature’s Healing Gift

At this time of year, you can’t go wrong with a jar of local honey in the cupboard.

Raw, unprocessed honey is rich in vitamins, enzymes, and antioxidants — far more than most shop-

bought versions. (That’s a whole other conversation!)

Supporting your local beekeepers is a lovely way to connect with your community and nature. You

can often find local honey in fruit and veg shops or butchers.

If you’re in the Moira area, I have fresh honey straight from my hives available too.

Simple Sore Throat Remedy:

 1 cup of hot water

 1–2 teaspoons of honey

 1 slice of lemon

 A dash of apple cider vinegar

It’s soothing, healing, and deliciously comforting.

Let’s take a leaf out of nature’s book — to slow down, rest, and reflect.

Enjoy cozy season
