I remember years ago now when I lived in Germany for a short period, asking an American friend (who was from Los Angeles) if it was ever cold there. In these cooler months, nothing changes much personally really, except that I use Shea Butter on my torso a great deal more, I cycle a little less and find myself enjoying the comforts of my home to a greater extent. One thing that I have noticed is that as the weather cools I tend to enhance Ritual with a little Patchouli which adds to Ritual’s hypnotic allure and sensuality.

I don’t need to remind anyone how difficult this year has been but as it draws to a close, I am feeling optimistic. Not certain but I think I can see the faint line of the horizon coming into view.

Spending more time inside during this time of the year I find music plays a greater role in the home. I thought I’d share a favourite which also highlights a place where I shall soon be residing for a while but I’ll expand upon that at a later date, hope you enjoy.

I’m just trying to connect with–YOU!
