This Mother’s Day, pause and look around. Who has helped you to get to where you are today? Who has been a nurturing mentor? Who has been a reassuring guide? Who has been a catalyst for growth? This is your opportunity to thank them and give back.
Often it’s the nurturers in our lives who are the best at helping others and the worst at helping themselves. They are at the bottom of their to-do list. Help them to put themselves first, just for a few minutes a day, by giving a gift that’s a reminder to care for themselves and send some loving energy inward.
Esker Fields is the perfect blend of skincare and self-care so they’ll feel nourished inside and out. As the natural ingredients and pure essential oils replenish the skin, the aromas relax the mind and body. Adding these products to their daily routine, they’ll have anchor points to keep them calm, collected and connected to loving energy even on busy days.
Yes, even on busy days! I demonstrate how to use these products in a self-care ritual that takes 5 minutes or less in the 5 Days of Self-Care Challenge. Send them the link to sign up when you give them their present.
Thanking the hands that hold you steady
Whether literally embracing you and putting a reassuring hand on your shoulder or metaphorically holding your hand through tricky times, our nurtures keep us steady. How grateful we are for that! A great way to thank them is with the Esker Fields moisturising hand cream. This soothing mix of natural butters and pure essential oils heals the skin while creating an aromatic experience that calms and recentres. I show you how to turn applying hand cream into a mindful moment on Day 2 of the 5 Days of Self-Care Challenge.
Thanking the feet that walk beside you
Knowing you’ve got your nurturer by your side on the journey makes it a lot easier (and more fun). Let’s thank them for walking beside us and keeping us upright! They can find grounding and stability themselves with the Lavender & Peppermint foot cream. This is a super simple product made of shea butter, sunflower oil, lavender latifolia and peppermint essential oils. And yet it is powerful. It relieves dry skin, eases aching muscles and peacefully brings us back to the present, especially when used with the grounding ritual I share on Day 4 of the 5 Days of Self-Care Challenge.
Calming the one who calms you down
We all have that person who when they walk into the room, we feel at ease. When we talk about a problem with them, a weight is lifted from our shoulders. Their presence is like a calming balm. Equip them to deal with the stressors in their own lives with a soothing anchor. The Relax aromatherapy rollerball can be quickly applied to the pulse points and inhaled to dial down the nervous system when we feel worry rising. If you’ve got 5 minutes to recentre and reset, it’s a great aid to meditation and visualisations like the one I walk you through on Day 3 of the 5 Days of Self-Care Challenge.
Treating the one who treats you
Nurturers have impeccable timing. They know exactly when to send an encouraging message, invite us for a coffee or take us on a spa day. While we don’t have time for a spa day every day, we do have time to do a quick bit of skincare and feel just as relaxed and glowy. The Nature’s Glow moisturising balm uses natural ingredients to give the skin a glow from within. It also releases the calming aromas of essential oils. Massage it into the skin and start the day with relaxation and loving energy. I send a video guide on how to give yourself a face massage with a moisturiser on Day 1 of the 5 Days of Self-Care Challenge.
Rebrand Mother’s Day to Nurturer’s Day and give back to the people who have given you what you needed when you needed it. They could be family, friends or even mentors at work. We all need a reminder to look after ourselves sometimes. Esker Fields body and skincare are an ongoing reminder as whenever they go to apply hand cream or moisturiser, the aromas of essential oils prompt them to pause, relax and reset before going about the rest of their day.
