Hello September 🍂✨

Summer at the cabins mean sunny picnics and warm evenings spent outside. Now, as the seasons change, it’s all about cosy evenings by the log burner, chunky knits and country walks that end at the pub - and I don’t know about you but we’re heeere for it.

What are you looking forward to most about cosy season? 🤎

Wanna escape London? We got you 🤝

Swap the stinky tube seats, the people hard-stop in the middle of the street and the fear of crossing the road without getting hit by a Lime bike novice or pro-cyclist for… peace’n’quiet.

Here are 6 of our fave cabins close enough to London for an easy escape but remote enough to feel reeeeeallllyyyy far away 🌲

Brb, looking at the sea 🌊💙🦋🐟🩵🫐

Blue is the world’s most common favourite colour and if it’s yours then you miiiight be onto something. We associate blue with the sky and water, which has a calming effect on our minds and bodies - a state often known as ‘Blue Mind’. And it’s not just looking at it, even the sound of water - whether it’s rain tapping on the window, a river rushing by or waves rolling onto the shore can help us slow down and feel more at ease.

And it’s a big part of why we’ve got so many cabins close to the water. Whether you’re waking up to the sound of the waves, exploring a wild swimming spot or watching the sunset on the beach - being around water gives you the space to slow down and properly switch off 💙

Hot take: your hobbies don’t need to be productive 🤷‍♀️

Your nervous system is constantly responding to what’s happening around you. And in a *very* overstimulated world, your constantly reacting to *alot*. When you’re stressed or overwhelmed, your body moves into a more activated state (your ‘fight or flight’ mode):

⚡ Your alertness increases
⚡ Your heart rate increases
⚡ Your muscles become more tense

When you feel safe and settled, your nervous system shifts towards a calmer state:

✨ Your body is better able to rest
✨ Your digestive system can function more easily
✨ You’re better able to connect socially

This is where doing things you genuinely enjoy can reallyy help. Hobbies that feel calming and enjoyable give your brain a break from stress and create space for your body to shift out of constant ‘doing’ and towards feeling more settled.

So you don’t need to be ‘good’ at what you do and it most definitelyyy doesn’t need to become a side hustle. Sometimes, the most valuable thing it can do is slow down, switch off and feel grounded again.

Here’s 6 hobbies we think your nervous system will love ❤️

Next time you reach for your phone, do this instead📱

It’s so easy to pick up our phones without thinking and ending up getting caught in a doomscroll. You spend an hour consuming everyone else’s lives, comparing yourself to what they’re doing or how they look, and are often left feeling worse off.

But what if you spent that time focusing on your own life? Instead of comparing yourself to strangers online, write down things you love about yourself. Instead of tracking someone else’s fitness journey, write down why you’re grateful for your body. It sounds small but it genuinely shifts how the rest of your day feels.

So next time you think about checking your phone, pause for a second and do one of these instead - chances are it’ll make you feel a wholeee lot better than scrolling ✨

Sometimes you need to disconnect to re-connect 💏

It’s easy for screen time to replace ‘we’ time, a lot of the time without you even realising. You come home from work, say a quick hello and slump onto the sofa for the rest of the evening - tv remote in one hand, doomscrolling with the other. Before you know it, two hours have gone by and you’ve barely looked at each other.

It’s not that you don’t love your partner, more that as humans we gravitate towards the ‘easier’ option. The sofa’s comfy, your phone’s right there and talking takes more effort than scrolling does some nights.

But actual quality, screen-free time with your partner matters. So we’ve put together a list of 50 date night ideas for the next time you’re both feeling a little disconnected - some for staying in, some for getting out, alllll screen-free.

Send this to your partner for your next date night 🤍
