Holistic mental health places equal value on mind, body, lifestyle, and environment - and early support makes all the difference. Too often, people wait until they feel completely overwhelmed before seeking help, yet proactive care can prevent issues from escalating. A holistic approach not only addresses symptoms but also uncovers triggers, builds resilience, and nurtures wellbeing through nutrition, movement, relationships, and purpose. Recognising mental health as a spectrum, rather than a simple “well or unwell” state, allows space for timely interventions that restore balance. By embracing early holistic support, therapy becomes a natural routine, reducing stigma and encouraging others to care for their mental wellbeing. This gentle, integrated method reminds us that sustainable healing is about treating the whole person – and starting sooner rather than later.

Londons First 'Mindful Market' With Vegans Of London

London's First Mindful Market - Conscious Living For Londoners
So...some super exciting news to announce this week- we have a spot at London's very first 'Mindful Market' this September 7th, hosted by Vegans Of LDN! This will be a market dedicated exclusively to ethical traders and conscious consumers, so naturally, it fits in very well with our own ethos. With 60+ vendors here on the day, there will be everything from vegan hot food stalls, sweet treats, sustainable goods for the home, clothing, plants, candles...and of course a lovely range of goods from our very own shop on display. Expect indoor and outdoor stalls, large ones and small ones, free sampling and up to 80 different traders serving up everything ethical, vegan and kind. Sounds super fun and we can't wait for this one to come around. This is hopefully the first of many markets and pop-ups we have in stall for the coming months and the build-up towards Christmas. It's great to get out and chat with like-minded people who are keen to reduce waste, live sustainably, and trying to help clean up our oceans and environment, just as we are. So if you're free and looking for something fun to do, don't forget to come check it out and say hi!

Covering grey hair doesn’t have to mean harsh chemicals or salon dependency. With natural methods, you can soften silver strands while protecting both your scalp and the planet. From simple coffee rinses and potato peel tonics to nutrient-rich herbal blends like henna, amla, or indigo, eco-friendly solutions offer gentle, lasting coverage. Plant-based dyes and DIY remedies not only respect hair health but also reduce environmental impact, keeping routines safe and sustainable. For quick fixes, root concealer sprays or chamomile rinses provide subtle blending, while long-term herbal packs nourish and strengthen strands. By avoiding ammonia, PPD, and parabens, you protect yourself and embrace a greener lifestyle. With the right choices, natural grey coverage becomes more than cosmetic - it’s part of a conscious, sustainable hair care journey.
Antarctica, Earth’s most remote wilderness, offers travellers more than icebergs and penguins - it delivers powerful lessons in resilience, patience, and perspective. Facing freezing winds and unpredictable conditions builds mental toughness, while constant changes teach flexibility and the ability to embrace uncertainty. The slow rhythm of the continent encourages mindfulness, helping visitors appreciate stillness and detail in daily life. Standing amidst endless ice shifts priorities, reminding us what truly matters beyond deadlines and bills. Overcoming the physical and emotional challenges of this extreme destination boosts confidence that lasts long after the journey ends. An Antarctic adventure is not only an unforgettable experience but also a natural training ground for sustainable living and inner growth.
