How to have a mindful Christmas
Christmas is a joyful time, but it can also be a busy and sometimes stressful time, with a MORI survey revealing that around half of us feel stressed by the demands of the festive season.
Studies, such as one by Oxford University researchers reveal that the practise of mindfulness -- the state of focussing the mind on the present moment can help to reduce stress by around 40%.
And Christmas is a particularly good time to try it.
"Here are Made for Life by Spiezia Organics, we believe that Christmas is not about one day of the year, but about all those little moments spent with family and friends and enjoying your own traditions and favourite things in the lead up to 25th December," says Spiezia Organics MD Amanda Barlow.
"Try to give yourself the gift of time this Christmas, to step back and breathe in the scents that embody the wonderful memories and feelings of this time of year."
The Made for Life by Spiezia Organics Mindful Christmas collection includes some new organic candles scented with beautifully calming fragrances of ylang ylang, geranium and lavender and rose and vanilla.
This year there are also special edition baubles, filled with the company's new Mindful Moments aromatherapy oils, created with the aim that you can take a moment from time to time throughout the busy Christmas period to breathe in scents which calm, energise or help to bring focus.
"We’ve also got some gorgeous new gift sets which are a wonderful way to nurture someone in your life with our hand blended, 100% organic skincare products. These are all available online and come in beautiful ribbon tied boxes — so you can take a little gift wrapping off your ‘to do’ list," says Amanda.

MORE ABOUT SPIEZIA ORGANICS
"Spee-ett-zee-ahh"
Spiezia Organics grew from a need for skincare that nourishes your body both inside and out. Originally developed by Dr. Spiezia, who came from an orthodox medical background, the products have been developed by combining dermatological science with the strength and purity of botanicals. Since their conception, the formulations have evolved with dermatological research and that of the incredible power of nature.
Our formulations are created using the synergy of organic herbs and flowers to be effective and uplifting. Beautiful skin is healthy skin. In 1999 Spiezia Organics was the first UK company to achieve 100% organic certification across the entire collection from the Soil Association & has strived to help them create and enforce Accreditation for beauty products in the UK ever since.
From the beginning, every single product has been made by hand in Cornwall using herbs, flowers and oils from as close as quality will allow. We track the provenance of every ingredient that goes into our products so each balm, oil or ointment has its own life story. Spiezia Organics is a pure and clean way of life. We do not add any synthetic chemicals or microbes and our products are the application of pure nature to the skin - no more, no less.
Spiezia Organics is an ethos of healthy and wholesome living. It is about making choices that contribute to our own wellbeing and that of the world we live.
This ethos extends to our Made for Life Foundation, which supports those facing cancer.
