Who Doesn’t Need a Cuddle?! New Self-Love Tool!

Mum just knitted me the most amazing hot water bottle cover for my birthday. It has a big red velvet lavender filled heart in the center of it, so every time she’s filled up, I get the gentle scent and aromatherapy affect. It’s seriously the best!

Even though it’s summer, I’ve been using it every night since it’s become apart of my night time routine. It’s so grounding and comforting, it literally feels like a cuddle from mum. 

Growing up, whenever I wasn’t feeling well, one of mums go-to’s, would be warmth!! Thick socks, cosy blanket, and the hot water bottle. 

It’s become something I love having on hand at home and while traveling. I have the cutest mini one that is the best for long flights & to accompany me in lonely hotels. The warmth makes me feel safe and I always have a much better sleep with it.

It’s such a simple thing that only requires hot water and it performs perfectly every time!  

It’s more commonly used for a tummy ache or menstrual cramps, which totally makes sense, as heat is a powerful medicine that has been used across the world and various cultures for thousands of years. Apparently heat that is applied externally to the body has a host of healing qualities. It relaxes the nerves and muscles allowing for pain relief, it also increases blood flow and naturally thins the blood which can speed up the body’s natural healing process.  

On my moon cycle, you’ll definitely find me curled up with the hot water bottle, resting and letting the warmth do it’s magic.

And most recently, with this new water bottle cover, aka new companion, im simply loving it as my latest self-love tool. 

Who doesn’t need a cuddle?!? 

Sometimes what appears to be the simplest remedies are the most meaningful and powerful.

Thanks mum!
