Sanctuary Saturday: Meet up with friends

Sanctuary comes in many forms, one of them is in the company of friends. My fiancée and I are part of a car club called South East Car Club, it is a club for car enthusiasts. We are much more than a group of people who like cars, we are a group of friends. There is a wide range of people from couples to families. We all spend time together in different places, from car shows, dinner meet-ups, days out and beach days.

The support in times of trouble is great, you all work together to help anyone in need. Friendship is such a key part of life. It is important to have people to share the highs with and forget the lows with.

Sanctuary Saturday: Limited edition bath soak

Hey everyone, so its Sanctuary Saturday and its time to relax and de-stress. I like to have a night hot bath to relax my muscles and senses. Imperial leather seem to have the most luxurious smelling and feeling bath cremes and socks on the market. My current favourite is a limited edition version.  Its called betwitching and it really is that. It has blackcherry blossom and wild fig fragrance notes. It leaves your skin feeling soft, smooth and moisturised. If you want to try a new product for a very reasonable price, buy one of these with your weekly food shop.

Sanctuary Saturday: Relaxation

Hey everyone, today is the first Sanctuary Saturday blog. Sanctuary means many things, safety, relaxation, bliss, serenity and much more. In this post I am going to talk about the relaxation.

We live in such a busy stressful world with more and more people suffering from mental breakdowns, depression and other stress related illnesses. We need to make time to relax and destress. 

We live such busy lives that we are always rushing and don't have time to our selves for rest and relaxation. Here is a quick tip I use to relax and stay sane:-

Sit in a comfortable chair or lie down on your bed. Either place our hands by your sides or rested on your stomach. Close your eyes. Breath in for 5 seconds, hold your breath for 5 seconds then breath out for 5 seconds. Repeat the cycle for 3 minutes or until you feel the relaxing effects of controlled breathing. 

I know it sounds silly but it works!
