Templars Antiques – Living The Dream
“At last!” says owner Gabrielle, “I have my own shop – Templars Antiques. Finally, after working in various hospitality and retail family ventures over the years”.
She grew up in a fabulous old mansion house on the River Dee. It was steeped in history, and full of interesting old things, which instilled in her a passion for old things, curios, and a love of nature. Gabrielle bought an old house three years ago, near the shop, which has been totally renovated in a traditional style, and is still a work in progress.

Using aromatherapy for the elderly can be incredibly rewarding for both the giver and the recipient. As part of my degree in complementary therapy with a focus on aromatherapy, I did part of the clinical training in a Care Home for the elderly. It was one of the best experiences of my training. It was amazing how little aromatherapy treatment gave incredibly pleasing results for people.

Relax in an aromatherapy bath and feel the stress of the run up to Christmas fade away as you enjoy the calming essential oils. Taking a little time out to take care of yourself this year, can make things so much more manageable at this busy time of year. I have never heard a client saying that they regret taking time for themselves to recharge, but I often hear them saying that they come the bottom of the list when it comes to taking ‘me’ time and then they start to struggle as they are tired.

We are very proud to introduce a new product for Christmas 2016 our Gardeners & Cooks soap. Customers were asking for a soap that was both citrus and exfoliant, and so here it is!
The soap is still very gentle on skin using our traditional and fully natural/organic soap base of organic olive oil, coconut, palm (sustainable) and sunflower oils. It is a hard cake of soap with a soft lather, which lasts and lasts and doesn’t turn into jelly (unless left sitting in water of course). It contains essential oils of lemon and lime, which are excellent for using in a kitchen environment, as well as the bathroom. They provide a refreshing, cleansing fragrance and are reputed to have disinfectant and antiseptic properties.
