Modelling for Stuart Johnson. I bought this bright purple dress at a market in Spain over a decade ago. I love rediscovering old things. I actually shop relatively rarely now (let's be fair, my wardrobes are full enough!), and am a big fan of finding pre-loved (or maybe even pre-disliked; all the same to me!), unique things in charity shops instead. Way more satisfying. #natural #purple #artmodel #englishcountryside #preraphaelite #prb #lakelife #treenymph #fairy #fineartnude #fineartnudephotography #englishrose

Remnants of making a fresh batch; spring has sprung but the Jolly White Winter Tea (a cross between a white tea and cacao-spice indulgence) is still an absolute delight and available for a little while longer until stock runs out.⁣ .⁣ #process #studiotime #freshbatch #tea #looseleaftea #jolly #whitetea #beautifulthings #beautifulchaos #mess #creatorsgonnacreate #transcendingseasons

One of my more sensual Saturday tasks: trays of wild garlic leaves lined up for freezing in order to pimp future dishes. Impossible to resist chewing one while doing this.⁣ #leafology #garlic #wildgarlic #fragrant #sogood #fresh #market #saturdayjob #ilovecooking #thinkingofmyfuture

Bit of a wordy post...⁣ I've been reading Cal Newport's Digital Minimalism, in which he advocates a careful, thoughtful approach to our use of our time and absolute scrutiny of various digital technologies before we fully incoporate them into our lives.⁣ ⁣ I'm really keen always on meeting new people in real, 'organic' situations and enjoy striking up conversations with strangers at events; I also love how refreshing it is when people come up to me, however shyly, and say a simple 'hello', even if they have no idea what to say next (because going up to strangers and introducing yourself IS hard for a lot of us). It really stands out as a genuinely lost skill; we are all so used to having the crutch of our mobile phones to gaze at when out in public and it's so uneccessary... and so lovely when this norm is thwarted. It feels so much more alive and open.⁣ ⁣ Relatedly, I love posting here daily, but I'm also aware, as a busy small business owner without a team of employees, of the need to constantly re-evaluate and optimise time management strategies. I sometimes wonder what it would be like to quit social media altogether, then often decide it is OK and still really positive, just so long as it's a beast kept tamed. It seems very 'not the thing' for a business like mine NOT to have an instagram account, and I am questioning this pressure while I know so many of you who order/connect reach me through here and am SO happy you do. I wonder what the answer is! Your thoughts are very welcome. ⁣ P.S. I also strongly recommend Newport's Deep Work. His voice is like a calming breeze of sanity in this fast paced world of busywork, reminding us to remember our values before all else and respect our own time in relation to how our actions best serve them.⁣ .⁣ #naturalskincare #organic #naturalbeauty #wild #free #green #plantbased #veganskincare #veganbeauty #tea #ilovetea #leafology #crueltyfree #nourish #handcrafted #smallbusiness #oxford #loveyourskin #zerowaste #zerowastebeauty #socialmedia #thoughtoftheday #calnewport #digitalminimalism #timemanagement #fomo #jomo #radicalhonesty #lostskills #stayopen⁣

On my first trip to Iceland I was completely amazed by the flowers and animals that live in such a place of violent relentless natural challenges (the volcanic history for one thing...). In fact, it is a place of enormous beauty, colour and breath-taking testaments to life.

#wildwednesday sees these deliciously zero-waste-friendly bottles of day and night face serums hanging out with Gerald, the studio giraffe. Packed into these glass bottles are pure, plant-derived nutrients designed to bring some positivity to your experience. They do good things to your face. Read all about them (and why almost everyone re-orders after their first try) on the website. You can order your first bottle with a pump lid then order the metal lidded bottles as refills, or dive straight in with the metal - up to you! #herbivore . www.leafology.co.uk | The Wild Art of Innocent Beauty . #naturalskincare #natural #gowild #giraffes #naturalliving #naturallife #zerowastebeauty #zerowaste #zerowasteskincare #veganbeauty #veganworld #notshownforsscale #plasticfree #wednesdaywisdom
