📍 Kythara Collective, Hamilton
🗓 Saturday 13 June
⏰ 10am – 2pm

Tag a friend who deserves a little wellness, joy and self-care this weekend. 🌿✨

💛 This is your reminder that you deserve care too. 💛

The weather is colder.
The days feel shorter.
And if we’re being honest, many of us are running on empty.

We’re halfway through the year already and somewhere between work, family, responsibilities and trying to keep all the balls in the air, self-care often ends up at the bottom of the list.

That’s exactly why we created our Feel Good Care Package.

A simple collection of comfort and care designed to help you slow down, take a moment for yourself and refill your cup.

Inside you’ll find:
✨ Comfort Candle
✨ Vanilla Lip Balm
✨ Uplift Essential Oil Roll-On

Small acts of self-care may seem simple, but they can make a big difference to how you feel.

So consider this your permission slip to pause.
To rest.
To recharge.
To choose yourself for a moment.

Or send one to someone who could use a little extra love right now. 💝

Because everyone deserves to feel cared for — especially during the colder months.

💛 Tag someone who needs a little extra care right now or treat yourself to a Feel Good Care Package because you deserve it too.

✨ Don’t let a hard day convince you that you have a hard life. ✨

When life feels heavy, it’s easy to focus on everything that’s going wrong. 🌧️ The challenges seem louder than the blessings and before we know it, we’ve spiraled into a place where all we can see is the negative.

That’s why it’s so important to actively look for the good. 🌻

Not because the hard things don’t exist, but because the good things do too. 💛

Sometimes shifting your mindset feels impossible. Sometimes gratitude doesn’t come naturally. Sometimes you have to consciously choose to focus on what’s working, what’s beautiful and what’s still worth smiling about. 😊✨

☕ Your morning coffee.
📱 A text from a friend.
⚽ A laugh with your child.
🌅 A beautiful sunrise.
🏡 A safe place to call home.
💛 The chance to start again tomorrow.

The smallest things often become the biggest anchors during difficult seasons.

Protecting your mental wellbeing isn’t about pretending everything is perfect. It’s about refusing to let the difficult moments overshadow every good thing in your life. 🌈

And if you need to “fake it until you make it” for a while, that’s okay too. Sometimes the simple act of choosing a positive thought, speaking a kind word to yourself or finding one thing to be grateful for can help shift your energy little by little. ✨🌿

If you’re needing an extra boost, our Uplift range was created to help brighten your space, elevate your mood and encourage more positive moments throughout your day. 🍊☀️

🕯️ Uplift Candle – fills your space with an energising sweet citrus aroma designed to inspire joy and positivity.

🌿 Uplift Essential Oil Roll-On – a simple way to carry uplifting, feel-good energy with you wherever you go.

Sometimes it’s the small moments that help us reconnect with ourselves and remember that there is still goodness all around us. 💛✨

Because what you focus on grows. 🌱

Today, challenge yourself to find three good things, no matter how small. 🌻✨

Self-care isn’t just for women.
Men deserve care, support and moments to reset too. 🤎

No complicated routines. No overwhelming products.
Just thoughtful essentials that help nourish, refresh and support wellbeing in a way that actually fits into real life.

Inside the Man Pack:

Sometimes burnout doesn’t look like completely falling apart.
Sometimes it looks like still showing up… while quietly running on empty.

You might need rest if:

• You feel tired no matter how much sleep you get
• Little things suddenly feel overwhelming
• Your mind won’t switch off
• You feel emotionally drained
• You keep pushing through instead of slowing down
• You can’t remember the last time you truly relaxed

We live in a world that praises productivity, but your body and mind deserve care too. Rest is not laziness. Slowing down is not failure. Taking care of yourself is necessary.

Even the smallest moments can help bring you back to yourself — a calming cup of herbal tea, writing your thoughts in a journal, lighting a candle, deep breaths, putting your phone down for a little while or simply giving yourself permission to pause.

At Handle With Love, every product is created to encourage those little moments of comfort, calm and reconnection 🤍

Save this as a reminder that rest is productive too 🤍

Hi, I’m Terri — one of the Co-Founders behind Handle With Love 🤍

For those who are new here, I thought it was time to reintroduce myself and share a little more about the person behind the products.

I’m a mum to two beautiful kids, Brilee and Kingsley, and one of the creators of Handle With Love — a small business that was born from a deep love for wellness, self-care, healing and helping people feel a little lighter in their everyday lives.

What started as a passion slowly turned into something so much bigger than I ever imagined. Every candle, tea blend, room spray, roll-on and care package is created with intention, love and the hope that it brings comfort, calm or even just a small moment of peace to someone’s day.

Life hasn’t always been easy. Like many people, I’ve experienced hard seasons, overwhelm, anxiety, heartbreak, burnout and moments where I’ve had to rebuild myself from the ground up. Handle With Love became more than just a business for me — it became a reminder that healing isn’t always loud or dramatic. Sometimes it looks like slowing down, lighting a candle, taking a deep breath, making a cup of tea or learning to pour love back into yourself again.

I’m incredibly passionate about creating products that support not only your body, but your mind and soul too. I want this space to feel safe, uplifting, comforting and real.

So whether you’ve been here since the beginning or you’ve only just found us — thank you. Your support means more than you will ever know. Every order, comment, share and kind message genuinely makes my day and helps support a dream that I’ve poured my whole heart into.

This little business is built on love, intention and community… and I’m so grateful you’re here 🤍

With love,
Terri x
