Diamond Tongues 30 Day Challenge

With the start of the year and all the associated resolutions and renewal, I thought it might be interesting to try a challenge.
I'm calling it the "Diamond Tongues" challenge because for 30 days we're going to speak life, strength, positivity and purpose into the ears of our loved ones so they start to feel as strong, as beautiful and as precious as diamonds.

Rules:
1. speak no evil to or of your chosen loved one (child, spouse, parent, sibling etc) - that means no grumbling or gossiping about them, no nagging etc.
2. As often as you can, take the opportunity to say something positive, encouraging or beautiful to your loved one.
3. If you are angry with or hurt by your chosen loved do NOT curse them, better to say nothing and bite your tongue ( or smile and kill them with kindness!)
4. Do NOT tell them you are doing this challenge!

Invite your BFFs to join in, I'll post updates of my progress on this page, please feel free to do the same. Who's up for a challenge? Can you stay positive for 30 days?

Reviews: "This massage oil is excellent. I'm strict vegan and a big believer in complimentary therapy. I'll be using it for myself and on my paitents (I work in a hospice). I also firmly believe in supporting independent business people who are making good quality products. If everyone would support independent businesses like yours instead of the big corporate chains there would probably be no unemployment. I have your card and will be passing the word around. I love the labelling and how everything is presented. Best of luck for the future and I'll definitely be buying from you again. And well done on coming up with such great quality products."

Almond Avocado Holistic has its own space

I've separated the blogs so that the Holistic therapies live in a separate space as although there is some overlap, the majority of my holistic clients are not also natural hair/loc wearers/clients.

I hope that those of you who are interested in holistic therapies will join me there.
