... Read moreLiving through a rainy stretch often reveals just how powerful and transformative nature can be on our outdoor spaces. From my personal experience, rain can dramatically alter how gardens and outdoor baths look and feel. After several consecutive days of rain, I noticed that while rainwater collects dirt and debris, it also has the unique ability to wash away dust and pollutants that accumulate during dry spells. One thing I've found particularly useful is incorporating certain design elements like copper discs in water features, which are believed to have natural cleansing and antibacterial properties. These enhancements not only add to the aesthetic but also help maintain cleaner bathing areas for nature-inspired relaxation. Maintaining a garden or outdoor bath after rain involves regular cleanup to remove fallen leaves, mud, and other natural debris. However, I also recommend embracing the natural cycle—wet soils nourish plants and can invigorate garden life if managed well. Using gentle garden tools to clear messes without damaging plants ensures a balance between respecting nature's 'mess' and keeping the area inviting. Interestingly, rain doesn't always make things dirtier; it often acts as a natural purifier. However, the impact depends on surrounding factors like soil type, garden design, and nearby vegetation. Rainwater runoff can carry pollutants but also helps flush them out if gardens are designed with drainage in mind. From my experience, tending to your garden and outdoor baths after rainy days is not only practical but also offers an opportunity to connect with nature’s rhythms. Taking time to appreciate the refreshing changes can bring a sense of calm and encourage sustainable gardening habits that accommodate nature’s cycles.

how are YOU taking care of yourself this week? 💞
if you’re like me, sometimes you forget to prioritize your self care in the name of getting things done! something that’s helped me a lot is spending at least 10 minutes each week evaluating how well i’ve been taking care of myself (and what i need more of!) this is what i’ll be doing this week
