Life is always busy at Kitchen Witch HQ but this past week has been total utter chaos, but in an absolutely fabulous way. Lots going on behind the scenes with new projects and ventures. Apologies for being vague but planning and testing has to be done first.
Adding to the chaos we are having the front of our house re-painted, the front wall rendered, new paving and a new gate. This means that Eric has someone to bark at continuously for the entire day, every day this week. Thankfully the crew are lovely and incredibly patient with him. Several days of preparation were done and then yesterda ..read more

I love a bit of drumming, and making noise can really help release negative emotion and raise your energy.
If you have a drum, perfect!
If not, you can improvise. Use a metal biscuit tin or a saucepan and wooden spoon.
When you feel the need to release worry, fears, or tension, get your drum out and give it a good ol’ bang!
Walk around the house, stand in the garden, or take yourself out to the woods and make some noise.
Really give it some gusto.
With each bang of the drum visualise your worries being crushed and destroyed.
Let the sound take them away.
And then possibly apologise ..read more

A little expedition was taken to the very pretty village of Wickham, near Fareham in Hampshire to meet the lovely owner of Raw Eden Beauty Apothecary.
We had a fabulous chat and some very exciting workshops have been arranged, keep an eye out for further details.
However we also did a little bit of shopping whilst we were there. I am always on the look out for natural beauty products and these ones exceeded expectations.
The Magic Melt is perfect for removing makeup and does so with ease, even stubborn mascara. The Magic Mist is a micellar water which is perfect to remove any last traces an ..read more

Salt is a naturally cleansing and purifying ingredient.
At the end of each day, grab a pinch of salt and put it in the palm of your hand.
Add a little warm water and gently wash your hands with it.
As you wash, visualise all the negative energy, bad habits, and old patterns being cleansed, released, and washed away.
Say to yourself, “Guilt is not mine to hold on to. I release it.”
Then dry your hands and put on some moisturiser.
As you rub it into your hands, visualise positive energy replacing the negative.

My experience with eclipse energy is that it shakes things up and the eclipse this week has certainly done that. I find an eclipse resets things to how they are supposed to be, it is like hitting the off switch on your computer, leaving it for a few seconds and then turning it back on - it generally sorts out any issues. So this week we have had a life reset.
In fact the energy during the day yesterday (the day of the eclipse) was all over the place and definitely of the grumpy variety.
Today is a new day...
