Musings: Finding My Calm In London

If you hadn’t already read my ‘I’m Over It‘ post, you might know I’m having a little crisis as of late. Perhaps its the change in weather, a monotonous routine or just a need to focus on something? What I do find stressful is living in London. Yes its glamourised as one of the most exciting and buzzy cities in the world but I fall out of love with it day after the day. My commute is what I’d call hectic with but I have been trying to implement a few things in my routine to get me out of this funk I’ve been feeling.

Kathleen Natural’s Roll-on Body and Massage Oils

One of them is the Kathleen Natural’s Roll-on Body and Massage Oils which I was kindly sent to review. The collection is scented with three blended, pure essential oils (a top note, heart note and base note) to cover every mood:

💚 1. Citrus Cheer – Uplift and awakens your senses. The Essential Oils included: (Top Note) Lemon Essential Oil, (Heart Note) Rosewood Essential Oil and (Base Note) Geranium Essential Oil

💜 2. Tranquil Fields – Brings you a sense of calm and inner peace. The Essential Oils included: (Top Note) Lavender Essential Oil, (Heart Note) Frankincense Essential Oil and (Base Note) Vanilla Essential Oil

❤️ 3. Sensual Rose Duo – Boost positivity and enhances feelings of joy. The Essential Oils included: (Top Note) Orange Essential Oil, (Heart Note) Rose Essential Oil and (Base Note) Nutemeg Essential Oil

I received the ‘Tranquil Fields’ one to try and its really been helping me transport somewhere other than my current surroundings. It worked by rolling a little on my wrist and letting the scent linger in the air. Not only that, at 10ml it’s the perfect travel size for throwing in your handbag or cabin luggage.

 

 

 

Podcasts

I never really listened until The Receipts Podcast came out but they’re proving much more beneficial in my day to day life. As much as I love music, it can get a little repetitive and sometimes you head might not be in it. A few I’ve been loving lately are:

• Get Rich or Get Drunk Trying
• Adzvice Podcast
• Millenial Travellers
• Puds & Co (I’m on the first episode!)
• The Receipts Podcast 

Not only that, they’re great for picking up a skill and putting your thoughts in a good place before the day begins.

Yep, that’s it. Staying inside and avoiding London is one of the best ways to find ‘my calm’.
