Ursula Heyland co-founder & Director of Heyland & Whittle talks about how she unwinds..

10 tips on how to unwind from Ursula Heyland co-founder & Director of Heyland & Whittle.

 Reading really helps me switch off. I light a Heyland & Whittle Green Tea

& Grapefruit Candle and indulge in a good book I have just read the best

book ever called Room by Emma Donoghue which is written in the language of a

5yr old boy Jack and how he sees life in somewhat gruesome and unusual

circumstances. It's overall praise is of motherhood and parental love.

 Having an early start with a swim and a work out at the local gym before

work is a dedicated task but afterwards to help me revive I always shower

with Heyland & Whittle Neroli & Rose Body Wash and follow with the matching

Body Lotion for a quick calming, soothing lift.   

 I know many people shun coffee but I have a passion for black

 Americanas.  A real treat and I just love that smell of freshly ground

coffee.

 Paddy and I have moved out of London now to be closer to the business

 but when we are in town and time permitting we will grab tickets to

 the theatre

 - War Horse was a recent favourite. We often go to the live filming of the

Graham Norton Shows where we donate a "goodie bag" of H&W products to every

guest he interviews. It's such a laugh!

 I so enjoy a good film and have a good collection of DVD 's but I

 still get a real thrill from the cinema experience - the big screen

 and around sound makes it really special.  I also like to laugh at the

 cinema and the just released The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel ticked all

 the boxes for us

 Late night relaxation comes in the form of a long soak in a bath with

 bubbles - throw in a splash of our Citrus and Lavender Foam Bath and I

 am instantly listening to the bees humming in a summer garden.

 Naughty but nice and enjoyed with friends is a good chat with a crisp

 white Meursault or a full bodied Malbec.

 Watching great sport is really inspiring and such good fun. The start

 of the Fastnet sailing race in Cowes is really exciting, especially

 when the wind blows really hard. Rugby at Twickenham is another

 favourite as I enjoy watching England beat Ireland - shame for Paddy,as he

is Irish!

 For an instant calm me down a quick burst of Heyland & Whittle Coconut

 Vanilla and Blackpepper Hand Cream, rub in well and inhale and you are

 on  a tropical island! Koh Mak is my favourite a little piece of paradise

in Thailand.

 Last but not definitely not least, family suppers.  Get the Heyland

 clan round a large table, with some great food,  and they are off- it's

fantastic.
