You don’t normally hear from me, if we haven’t met before, I’m Mark, Liz’s business and life partner and every month I read Liz’s diary and message to you on this page and sometimes I might even get a mention. But this month, I’ve asked her to move on over! So please allow me to share some thoughts and they’re around the subject of International Women’s Day which is Saturday 8th March.

I was brought up with three sisters and it taught me to both love, respect and realise they are wired quite differently to us boys. I’ve been married to my beautiful Liz for almost 50 years and it never ceases to amaze me how still she surprises me and I love that her perspective on things can often be so contrasting to my own and we never stop learning and laughing together!

I work with some great guys, but I work alongside mainly women and I absolutely love it. Girls have such a positivity, they’re natural ‘talkers’ so this gives them fabulous communication skills and they multi-task like breathing. Most of our women arrive each day and they’ve already done the school run, organised the kids and all their various activities and even gone the gym and then they’re on it, all day long running from this meeting to that, preparing great research, presentations and they can definitely type, listen, speak and think simultaneously!

We have just held our TEMPLESPA leadership conference with over 130 SPA TO GO Managers and it was an absolutely inspiring event. I’m so proud that we have created this diffusion-franchise arm because it offers an entrepreneurial opportunity to have a side hustle alongside a day job, the ability to work around family and other commitments, or for some to make it a full-time career, or your own business but with the full support of the brand. I have literally travelled all over the world with groups of incredible women who I’ve watched grow in confidence and stature over the years.

My deep belief is that if you change a man, you can change his life; but if you change a woman, you can change a whole generation and I find this a powerful thought, and when women come together in harmony and unity, a sisterhood can be a force to change culture, even a nation. Catch me sharing this on video below.

So finally, with all this in mind, I’m sure you’ll need no reminder that we have Mother’s Day on Sunday 30th March. Whether you’re celebrating your own lovely mum, a mother figure in your life or those who have supported you throughout your lifetime, we have a beautiful selection of gifts to make it a memorable moment. 

You’ll remember we launched our limited-edition Eau de Toilette MED-ESSENCE last month to celebrate 25 years of TEMPLESPA, and in its beautifully presented box it’s an ideal gift for Mother’s Day. It is absolutely delicious and it would be the perfect love gift.

We’ve also revamped our DO NOT DISTURB Peace & Relaxation Collection to include two full sized products, so it’s brilliant value for money and is designed to help you relax and unwind with our signature essential oil blend and textures. Do browse our gift sets, see what inspires you and perhaps you’ll find a perfect gift for the next occasion. 

Have a beautiful month ahead

With Love, Mark xx
