The LincsArtCraftHour Is Here:

The #LincsArtCraftHour by LincsConnect the Linc onshore blogger LincsBlogger

7 September 2020 – Was A Very Important Date

The LincsArtCraftHour is here! Monday 7 September 2020 was a very important date because it was the first LincsArtCraftHour and it’s here for all Lincolnshire artists and crafters of all genres. All are invited to post promotional messages and network using ‘two’ hashtags.

LincsArtCraftHour 

The LincsArtCraftHour is on Twitter from 12.00pm – 1.00pm every Monday lunchtime from 7 September 2020.

The idea behind it is to highlight the talent that we have in the County and to allow you to view what’s on offer.  You’ll find everything from cards to jewellery and paintings to sculptures with everything ‘arty’ in between. This weekly hour will give you the opportunity to see what’s on offer and even follow links to local online shopping.

Those posting will be able to include links to their Facebook pages, Twitter accounts, websites and online shops while at the same time showing off their huge talents.  ‘Christmas’ is coming (as it does every year) but don’t just see this as a virtual shop window for your Christmas shopping.  A gift for yourself, a ‘thank you’ card, a birthday gift or even a Mothers Day gift for next year are all possibilities.

You’ll also find some info on the Lincs Connect Facebook page too so please have a look to see what you think. I’ll also be interested to hear if you have any other ideas of course.

LincsArtCraftHour – How It Works

If you’re posting messages on the #LincsArtCraftHour slot follow these simple steps:

Be sure to have your tweets ready to post (in real time or scheduled) by 12.00pm each Monday

Add a picture (or two) to show what you are advertising

Include a link to your website, Facebook, Instagram or online shop for people to follow

Use the two hashtags #LincsConnect and #LincsArtCraftHour in your tweet

Search the #LincsArtCraftHour hashtag to retweet and support others and to do your own free networking either live on the day or later in the week.  You can search the hashtag at any time 24/7.

Don’t ‘dump’ a load of tweets on the hashtag in the first couple of minutes (even if they are scheduled tweets) as it won’t look good on you.  Make sure your tweets are spread out over the hour.

How To Search The Hashtag

Searching the hashtag may be easier than you think.  Simply go to your search bar, type in #LincsArtCraftHour, click search (or enter – depending on what device you are using) then go to ‘Latest’.  That’s it! It really is that easy so make sure that we make the hour a success by supporting each other.  To make life even easier, each time you see the hashtag highlighted in blue here, that link will take you straight to the hashtag.

Finally, don’t forget to let your contacts know too.  Obviously the more people we have using, searching and talking about the #LincsArtCraftHour the more likely you are to increase your following and make more sales.

I know I’ve posted this before but it’s worth another mention.  I think these painted old maps are an excellent idea.  If there was ever a way to bring a map to life, this is it!  Why not give Fiona a follow on Twitter or Facebook to see what other delights she has in her portfolio?

How Does A Mobile Massage Work?

With everything packed away into the back of the pickup it’s really possible to bring the salon to your home.  The massage couch is a bespoke design to make your treatment ‘salon perfect’ and a bag contains the towels, oils and cushions.  The whole thing takes minutes to set up and pack away so you get more time to enjoy your massage.

The biggest benefit of the mobile massage facility is that you don’t need to travel.  You don’t have to worry about finding a car park, travel delays or anything else.  You get to put all of your effort into being completely relaxed!

Stress Buster

Following months of lockdown during the Coronavirus epidemic stress levels certainly reached a peak for many people. For some those stress levels are still very real.  Many of us were confined to our home while others have been working at heightened levels of pressure, stress and anxiety.  As a result we really became aware of ‘normality’ and looked forward to it with anticipation and hope.

Where some people experience stress levels lowering, others may be finding that their stresses are really only just beginning.  Latterly we have heating and fuel concerns, inflation and the war in Ukraine as well as many other factors that are out of our control. We all adapt of course but that doesn’t stop us from feeling stressed.

A bespoke blend of essential oils together with a tailored massage in the comfort of your own home with relaxing music and a comfortable couch. Perfection!

Mandarin Therapies Massage For Stress

It’s well documented that massage helps to reduce stress and anxiety levels.  The physical touch and deep relaxation experienced during a massage will last for a long time afterwards too.  Researching this subject is difficult so I recommend you take a look at this post by Prof James Lake which is really useful:  Massage Therapy for Anxiety and Stress

STRESS – Let Mandarin Therapies melt away your stresses and anxieties with a bespoke massage from the comfort of your own home. Tel 07966 174878 to book. eVouchers are also available so why not book a unique gift for someone you love and have the voucher delivered by email with your special message.

Emotional Benefits

Touch will help to improve your emotional state.  Humans are naturally ‘social’ so Covid-19 restrictions had a detrimental affect on the wellbeing of many people. Some may still be suffering so it’s important to re-establish those physical contact and nurturing experiences.

Massage sessions will certainly help to improve our wellbeing. The massage effect can be enhanced with the use of essential oils too.  Essential oils have been used with massage for thousands of years and the benefits are quite extraordinary. Each essential oil has its own unique properties but you can be forgiven if you thought they are ‘just’ about the smell. Over the years Mandarin Therapies has witnessed some remarkable outcomes with the Aromatherapy treatments.  Essential oils have been used to treat headaches, insomnia, PMS, fluid retention, back pain, anxiety, stress, depression, and many other problems including pre & post cosmetic surgery treatments.

Mandarin Therapies Massage In Lincolnshire – Home Treatments

Mandarin Therapies treatments range from 1 to 2 hours and are all conducted from the comfort of your own home.  They are most definitely extremely relaxing.  I have clients who leave the massage treatment and go straight to bed leaving me to pack up, put the cat out and lock up before I leave”!  The last treatment of the day is around 9.00pm so a 2 hours massage will be finishing at 11.00pm.  The late finish is perfect for those who, for whatever reason, have problems sleeping at night.  The salon experience really does come to your home – a professional couch, towels, pillows, oils, relaxing music and over 33 years of experience.

Mandarin Therapies Massage In Lincolnshire For Everyone

“Over the years I’ve been lucky enough to meet some genuinely nice people who have kept a special place in my heart.  I used to visit one dear lady who, following a car accident, suffered with fluid retention in her legs. I visited her twice weekly to perform Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) massages to reduce the swelling and improve mobility.  We developed a routine where I would leave to wash my hands while she got undressed and climbed onto the couch.

The routine worked well until one day when I came back into the room I sensed something wasn’t right.  Hazel was on the couch as usual but her arms were by her sides instead of on the cradle. During the 30 seconds conversation that took place about her arm placement I realised that something was seriously wrong.  Hazel had suffered a stroke!  As a result of my quick thinking (I dialled 999) the paramedics and ambulance arrived within minutes and administered the necessary drugs.

Being with her at that moment, having the immediate attention that she needed and the follow up care that was provided by the Stroke Unit at Lincoln County Hospital made all the difference.  As a result Hazel made a full recovery and was soon back home doing her daily The Times crossword.  Her brain was as sharp as ever and her mobility was no worse than it was before she suffered the stroke.  There is no doubt in my mind that my quick phone call and the rapid response by the emergency services saved Hazel from suffering irreversible damage.

Hazel died of old age at 92.  I still miss you Hazel X”

Stroke

Knowing what to do is crucial if we are to help someone who has had a stroke. As a result of FAST, Hazel was spared the devastating consequences that a stroke can cause.
