Aura Kits

I think we can all agree that 2020 has been a tough year on everyone.

The overwhelming weight of a global pandemic hanging over your head paired with the daily stresses and strains of everyday work and life can take its toll on both your physical and mental wellbeing.

Taking time for yourself has never been more important as without a healthy body and calm mind, it can feel impossible to face the challenges that face us every day.

If you are looking to inject a little balance and wellness into your life then I think I’ve found the brand for you.

 

 

Aura Kits are a British brand that offer a luxury monthly subscription box for self-care, wellbeing and mindfulness.

Treat yourself or someone you love a new self-care routine that is designed to instil peace, relaxation and positive energy in the form of an Aura Healing Kit.

Each kit contains an array of natural materials including, Sage smudge sticks, natural incense, natural candles, Himalayan pink bath salts, healing crystals, relaxation tracks and quick easy to follow information and guidance in meditation, salt baths, positive visualisation, and affirmations for just £25 per month.

The collection has been carefully curated to help you unwind, cleanse your energy and encourages you to integrate more self-care rituals into your daily routine.

 

 

Aura Kits seek to aid you to quieten your mind, find peace and clear negative energy from your home, body and soul.

Beautifully packaged in recyclable, sustainable packaging it’s just the pick-me up you may need at this difficult time.

I received my first box and was thrilled by the collection of products which when used together, help to calm, de-stress and relax a busy mind.

Each month you receive a crystal which possesses different healing qualities and this month was the Tigers Eye.

 

 

When held close, a Tigers Eye can help with an array of different issues. It promotes abundance, increases self-esteem, promotes courage, increases vitality, brings good luck and help you turn your negative thoughts into more optimistic ones.

Nestled within the presentation box you’ll also find a Solar Plexus Chakra Candle.

The Solar Plexus Chakra is linked to the upper part of the body and embodies will power and self-esteem.

Restore your inner peace and wellbeing by taking a few moments for a short meditation prior to lighting the candle. 

 

 

The light of the candle is dedicated to yourself and to all sentient beings and allows you to quieten and focus your mind.

Continue this calming experience with the inclusion of a Lemongrass Bath Fizzer.

This bright white heart shaped bath bomb contains lemongrass oil to help to soothe a busy mind and unwind in the comforting hug of a warm bath.

 

 

Amplify the experience by using the Juniper Berry essential Oil.

This purification plant can be used to cleanse ritual spaces and in medication can help you to concentrate and focus more effectively.

Revitalising and restorative, it can help with exhaustion, mental fatigue and stress.

Last but by no means least is the neatly presented bundle of White Sage.

 

 

Burning the plant is said to clear away negative energy from yourself and your home while allegedly clearing up to 94% of airborne bacteria.

You can also use the smoke from white sage to cleanse and recharge your crystals.

Cleansing your space may allow you to feel more energised and content which lets be honest, most of us could really do with right now.

Finally, your kit contains a set of positive affirmations, as the things we think and the words we speak can often become our belief systems so saying positive affirmations can be good for both the body and soul.

 

 

Speaking and thinking positively about yourself is so important with regards to your personal sense of wellbeing and confidence and if possible, you should set a few minutes aside a day to remind yourself of them.

This month’s affirmations are ‘I am Strong’, ‘I am Wealthy’, ‘I am positive energy’, ‘I am optimistic’, ‘I am joyful’, ‘I am grateful’ and ‘I am healing’.

Whatever your personal beliefs, taking time to positively focus on yourself, your wellbeing and your mental space can really make a difference to your outlook on life and situations.

You cant pour from an empty cup after all.

 

 

Aura Kits provide the tools you can use to help get you to a better place when you feel overwhelmed and I think that’s simply magical.

If you feel like you could do with some positivity and time to focus on yourself then their kits are an inspired idea.

To receive your monthly kit, you have the option of selecting from one of three different subscriptions and each box will be posted out between the 24^th-26^th of each month.

​They are currently running an offer where you can receive 15% off your first month’s subscription to by using the code SELFCARE15 at the checkout, otherwise each box costs £25 monthly.

You can sign up for your own Aura Kit on their website now.

 

Seventeen Minutes: Subscription boxes for Mums

Seventeen Minutes is a brand that offers self-care boxes for mums, because while you’re busy looking after everyone else whose looking after you?

Founded by mum of two Sara, Seventeen Minutes offers the ultimate dose of relaxation straight to your door.

Did you know that the average mum has just 17 minutes a day to herself? 17 minutes. Not a lot I’m sure you’ll agree so Sara created these boxes to help you enjoy what limited time you do get to yourself.

Each box is filled with a selection of goodies designed to help you take some time out, remove yourself from mummy duty for a while and chill.

The best part is unlike many other brands you don’t have to sign up and commit to a long term subscription; you can purchase as a one off (£15 +p&p), or sign up for two (£35+p&p) or 4 boxes (£65+p&p) and included within each box is a motivational message along with a personal thank you.

It’s a sweet little touch that reminds you that you’re not buying from a big brand, you’re buying from and supporting a small business.

The launch box is brilliant and features two of my most favourite things; Spacemasks and Chocolate. Preferably to be used together!

For those of you unfamiliar with Spacemasks, they are self heating eye masks of pure joy that transport you to a land far, far away.

Lasting approximately 15 minutes that gives you just enough time to chow down on the super cute  Creighton’s Chocolaterie chocolate heart.

Generous in size and creamy and delicious in taste you will need to hide this from your children, no question!

Also within the box is a Teapigs bolly good chai tea sachet. I have to be honest I’m not a chai tea latte kinda girl but if you are or have yet to try them and want to then now’s your chance!

Last buy by no means least is the inclusion of a book called ‘Life Lessons from Remarkable Women’, a book about tales of triumph, failure and learning to love yourself.

If you could share one lesson from your life with every woman, what would it be?

That is the question this book by Stylist magazine asked a group of women from the worlds of entertainment, politics, sports and fashion and is perfect when you find yourself with some spare time and wish to feel empowered.

If all of this was not enough, £1 from the sale of every box goes to Pandas Foundation UK who give support to people coping with Pre and Postnatal Mental Illnesses, as well as their families, friends and carers.

As someone who has struggle with mental illness and postnatal depression this is a cause close to my heart and I think it is a wonderful and generous gift that founder Sara has offered.

So ladies, lets support one another!

Know a mum who could do with a little pick-me-up? Know a mum who is struggling? Need some ME time desperately? Then check out Seventeen Minutes.

Their boxes will leave you feeling better about yourself for far longer than just 17 minutes.
