Give From The Heart

– SPONSORED POST –

To me, December always feels like a time for reflection, and when I look back over the past year I’m amazed at how busy and challenging it’s been. Total roller coaster material, and I’ve loved every moment. When I look back I also see the people who have been there supporting me along the way, the ones that have been there daily through both personal and professional struggles. There aren’t many people that take the time to really give themselves to you (that sounds dodgy but roll with me) in such a way and this is a rare quality that I value so highly and that deserves recognition.

Now, not to glaze over the many heroes in my life that have supported my journey from day one (hey Mum and Dad) or that one special person who really has changed my life (it’s our anniversary this month so he’ll be taking the stage soon) but this month I wanted to focus on someone who has been there supporting me daily for over a year now. That someone (who I’m sure you have guessed by now) doesn’t live with me, and did not give birth to me, and has no reason other than her lovely nature to to give the kindness that she does. And that is why last week I delivered my lovely friend Alix a little thank you for being such a wonderful friend…

A box containing Rituals products and one of their heavenly candles – as you can see she went straight in for the candle. No surprises there…

I love this box of goodies (and obviously so did Alix, the candle already has an almighty dent in it) and in the spirit of giving, Rituals are also giving you the chance to win a box of your own so you can thank your hero too! Simply click here to send your loved one a card and explain why you have picked this particular hero and you will be entered to win one of these amazing boxes.

And the giving doesn’t stop there, keep an eye out on my social media channels for a few wonderful days of giftmas over the festive period!

    I think this is a great idea, it just reminds me of all the important people in my life who aren't actually biologically related to me!

    Aw, this is so sweet! The friendship between you and Alix is amazing. Wondering where her Christmas jumper is from? I feel like I've seen it somewhere. H&M maybe?

    I am here to give testimony of how i got back my husband, we got married for over 9 years and we had two kids. thing were going well with us and we where always happy. until one day my husband started to behave in a way i could not understand, i was very confused by the way he treated me and the kids. later that month he did not come back home again and he called me that he want a divorce, i asked him what have i done wrong to deserve this from him, all he was saying is that he want a divorce that he hate me and do not want to see me again in his life, i was mad and also frustrated do not know what to do,i was sick for more than 2 weeks because of the divorce. i love him so much he was everything to me without him my life is incomplete. i told my sister and she told me to contact a spell caster, i never believe in all this spell casting of a thing. i just want to try if something will come out of it. i contacted traditional spell hospital for the return of my husband to me, they told me that my husband have been taken by another woman, that she cast a spell on him that is why he hate me and also want us to divorce. then they told me that they have to cast a spell on him that will make him return to me and the kids, they casted the spell and after 1 week my husband called me and he told me that i should forgive him, he started to apologize on phone and said that he still live me that he did not know what happen to him that he left me. it was the spell that he casted on him that make him come back to me. my family and i are now happy again. Thank you Dr. Aluta for what you have done for me i would have been nothing today if not for your great spell. i want you my friends who are passing through all this kind of love problem of getting back their husband, wife , or ex boyfriend and girlfriend to contact traditionalspellhospital@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay. He cast spells for different purposes

    Hi everybody,I won Lottery of $528.8 (Five Hundred Twenty Eight Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars) two weeks ago in Jackpot from 38 lottery play now i have my car and a house.I was introduced to a spell caster called Dr Papo a months ago by a colleague who he helped with lottery and marriage issues. All what he said and what he promised to do really happened.I guess never believed in magic or spells because i thought they were mostly scam acts or tricksters until i met him,everything changed,it exists but only in the right hands and with it everything is possible.I don't know how to pay him for this but i really hope i can do something important and special for him by telling the world on how i became rich now with his magic lottery spell, he his good in love spell, get your ex back, HIV spell, Pregnancy Spell And other spell if you are in need of any help contact him here DRPAPOSPELLCASTER@GMAIL.COM OR DRPAPOSPELLCASTER@YAHOO.COM
