As the seasons begin to shift and the air cools, Mother’s Day quietly approaches.
Sunday 10th of May 2026
A gentle reminder to pause and honour the women who shape us —
our mums, grandmothers, mum friends, and those about to step into motherhood.
And also, to hold space for anyone missing someone they love during this time.
As a mum of (almost two!), I know how full these days can feel — beautiful, overwhelming, and everything in between. Watching your little human grow is truly the greatest gift.
And honestly… it really does take a village.
I’m so grateful for mine.
However this day looks for you, I think there’s something special in keeping it simple. Slowing things down. Being present.
A long, slow coffee or lunch.
A home-cooked meal shared around the table.
A walk together, just to talk.
Lighting a candle at the end of the day.
A small, thoughtful gift that feels considered and personal.
Not overdone — just meaningful.
If you are wanting to gift something this year, our Travel Eau De Parfum (10ml) and Large Wood Wick Candles are a beautiful place to start. Pieces designed to be used every day, becoming part of someone’s ritual.
I know choosing a fragrance can feel a little overwhelming, especially as we move into the cooler months where we naturally lean towards warmer, softer scents.
Here are a few of my favourites for this season:
Kaia — soft oriental florals layered with warm woods
Gentle, feminine and quietly grounding.
Bloom — delicate, floral and timeless
Light, soft and easy to wear.
Dune — earthy, warm and a little bold
One of those scents that feels calming and cocooning.
Golden — warm, glowing and effortless
Like that late afternoon light you wish you could bottle.
Our travel-size perfumes continue to be a favourite for gifting — a small luxury that can be taken anywhere, and used daily.
Whether you’re gifting someone special, or taking a moment for yourself, this is your reminder to slow down… even just a little.
And choose something that feels good.
If you need help choosing, you can always reach out — I’m just a message away.
