Boost Memory Productivity And Focus With Our Luxury Workspace Candles

boost memory productivity and focus

We’ve always got a candle burning in the studio, it’s our little bit of luxury, our ‘work wellness’. It brings a sense of comfort & calm to a busy day, where time always flies. So needless to say, we are super excited to have just launched a range of candles with our very own fragrance called ME TIME.

Its alluring throw of scent fills our workspace with a magical spell which enhances our inner productivity and creativity. It helps boost memory, focus & energy plus reducing stress – a win, win.

But how can a scent have such an effect, let us explain?

It’s down to the fact that our sense of smell is the strongest of our senses and the only one that is directly connected to the brain. In our noses, we have smell receptors which communicate with the same part of the brain where memories are stored and where emotions come to life.

This is why the inhalation of an aroma can instantly stimulate a strong feeling or remind us of a person or a place. We’ve all experienced that, right?

So, it’s not surprising that inhaling an aroma can positively affect our minds at work, too, especially if designed purposely for this type of environment. We believe every workspace should have some kind of aromatherapy. It doesn’t matter if you work in a populated office or work from home it will help to create an atmosphere that encourages high-functioning creativity.

As alternative scents can stimulate different emotional states and reactions you can easily select the appropriate fragrance depending on your requirements. Do you need a morning pick-me-up, focus for a brainstorming session, a way to de-stress or calm the mind to finish an important task? No matter the need, aromatherapy can necessitate.

Hence why we thought it was a no brainer to create a scent to sit alongside the characteristic spirit of the HELLO TIME Planner and the ethos of the community we are building, to help us reach our goals, fulfil our purpose and to assist with the emotions and effectiveness that we all most commonly experience at work – productivity, focus and stress. It just so happens we’ve insisted on black wax and some pretty cool matt black glass containers, so they are astatically pleasing in any workspace environment too.

Whether you have a boss, or you are the boss make some time to burn a candle, reach for an essential oil to dab on your wrist or display a good-looking diffuser.

What we'll be covering

  • 1 So what makes ME TIME so special?
    • 1.1 So what ingredients and aromas can be found in our candles?
    • 1.2 Candle Care Tips

So what makes ME TIME so special?

ME TIME was purposely created to be timeless and not too over-powering.

It has a mesmerising light floral scent ideal for calming the mind, relieving stress, boosting energy and improving memory.

Scented candles and essential oils are a key tool in helping us keep our focus and assisting with our own attention management. Specific aromas help with our mood and productivity levels, giving us clarity to prioritize tasks and time management.

So what ingredients and aromas can be found in our candles?

ME TIME is a delicate fragrance where refreshing marine notes of coastal cool are enhanced by touches of cyclamen & water lily.

Seaweed and Algae form the top notes with middle notes of cyclamen and water lily and base notes of amber, patchouli and musk.

Seaweed  / Clean invigorating & stimulating

Algae / Increases energy & improves memory

Lily Flower / Creates a feeling of happiness & a sense of security

Amber Oil / Encourages harmony, balance & helps to calm the mind

Patchouli / A grounding balancing, calming scent

Musk / Calms emotions, relieves stress & anxiety

Our candles are exclusively hand-poured in the UK for Hello Time by luxury candle artisan, Mandy Patterson. Mandy shares her top candle care tips to help us get the most bang for our buck.

Candle Care Tips

1/ When lighting your candle for the first time ensure you burn it for at least 2hrs. The wax needs to melt across the entire surface of the container. This will promote a clean, even burn & prevent tunnelling and wasting precious wax, ensuring you get the maximum use out of your investment. Allow the wax to melt and pool right to the edges of the candle and don’t blow it out until it has. Very important.

2/ Always trim your wick before each burn to 5mm to ensure an optimum burn, this will limit the build-up of soot mushrooming & promote a steady flame. A flame too big will waste wax and can leave soot inside the container.

3/ Keep away from a draft to prevent an uneven burn.

4/ Protect the surface on which a candle sits.

5/ Do not blow out your candle, use a snuffer or the back of a spoon.

6/ Burn your candle for a max of 4hrs to prevent the container overheating & the build-up of soot.

7/ Never leave candles unattended and keep away from children & pets.

BUYING TIME - NEW BLOG POST! - Whah! This one’ BUYING TIME - NEW BLOG POST! - Whah! This one’s been some time in the making. I’ve had the idea for a while of writing a blog using my small business network (you’ll like this @hollytucker )to provide amazing time saving tips but it has been a mission and I must say blogs take me ages to write! That’s why I draw for a living! ✏️  I thought what better way to help each other than to share how we all save a bit of time each day in a bid to get everything done. It doesn’t matter where we are in our business or careers, how successful we are or how many followers we have, none of us has the power to slow down time, but we can make the most of the time we are given. ⏰  How we manage our time has a significant impact on our lives and our success. From our morning routine to running errands to getting dinner on the table, we all need some inspiration. 🤩  So head to our blog, LINK IN MY BIO for your tips and my mine, 52 to fact, of our best time-saving tips to help you save some time every single day. From the simplest of small daily habits to tackling a busy workday, employ these time saving tips and you’ll complete everyday tasks in a fraction of the time!  Thank you to those who shared your ideas & tips I loved reading them all, especially one from @emmathemindsetcoach which involved a toilet & a toothbrush! I’ve tagged as many of you as I can here. And @samanthapearceisaacs who could literally write a book on the subject!  As a thank you I’ve added your name & website link in the blog 🥰
AND THE SURVEY SAID… - Oh my goodness I am gobsm AND THE SURVEY SAID…-Oh my goodness I am gobsmacked at the positivity that’s come back from our recent planner survey from you guys, our customers. 🤩  The responses are in and we are in the process of going through everything with a fine tooth comb but I wanted to share with you some of the top line results.  When asked…  Would you purchase the HELLO TIME Planner again?  An incredible 97% of you said yes you would. How amazing is that!!! 🙌  Surely I’m on to something here? So I think this is a sure sign I must carry on!? 🤔  I am so pleased this is the reaction. It means I can help more of you make the most of your time, manage the overwhelm and organise your day. Whoop Whoop.  I just need to get the message out to more people (I’m desperately on it!) and develop more time-gifting stationery (doing that as we speak!).  Thank you again to everyone that took the time to help me  with my survey and I look forward to sharing more findings next week!  PS. bit later today but check out my stories for my weekly Instagram Monochrome Monday round up!
MAKING TIME PRESSURE WORK FOR YOU! 👍 - If we ge MAKING TIME PRESSURE WORK FOR YOU! 👍-If we get in the habit of feeling chronically short of time the price can be high.  A 2008 survey found that only 6% of respondents who identified ‘as busy’ cut back on time at work, while 57% cut back on hobbies and free time and 30% on family time.  Those irreplaceable things that restore us and make time feel full and rewarding. That time that gives us our energy, our ideas and our happiness. 😊  I’m not sure why I was surprised with these numbers given that I am totally guilty of giving up my own time in favour of working but working does make me happy so it’s not all bad, right?  I was talking in @southwoodsocialhub facebook group last night about this very subject. Finding that work/life balance and how I manage it. The point is I don’t, it’s just life for me, it’s fully integrated because I love what I do, it’s exciting. @hayleysouthwood called it ‘Flow’ which I love. 🖤  How do you find you manage the juggle? Have you found that illusive work/life balance yet?  As I get older, I find I do need to carve out more moments to relax. I make sure I get lots of sleep, I make sure I take regular breaks throughout the day and Sundays really are my day of rest! As long as you make time to restore yourself this will give you energy and focus.  Here’s some tips to help make time pressure work for you from the book ‘ENJOY TIME’ by @catherine_blyth_is_on_time  1. Plan your schedule when you are relaxed and you’ll make better choices  2. Track your time, how much time do you spend with friends, family, hobbies or ‘me time’ versus working. Can you re tip the balance a little bit? Tracking your time can be so enlightening to see where you can make better choices. Experiment with your time. What happens if you finish work an hour earlier for a week or spend an extra 20mins over a family breakfast, does it make you less effective or productive?  3. Be mindful of time pressures. Why is there a deadline and who’s convenience is it serving?
MONOCHROME MONDAY🖤 We launched ‘Monochrome M MONOCHROME MONDAY🖤  We launched ‘Monochrome Monday’ a couple of weeks ago (with a break on Easter Monday!) and today we are back with more Monochrome Inspiration from Instagram accounts across the land.
We love black and white (can you tell?) 🙄  Black and white is a classic colour scheme and one that has always remained at the forefront of fashion and interiors. It’s sophisticated, stylish and timeless!  Keep an eye out as at mid-day for our next Monochrome Monday Round-Up. A collection of the best monochrome finds on Instagram. Anything from interiors to soap, trainers to packaging, we’ll be sharing it all.  Grab your lunch, check out our stories, be inspired & let us know what you think 🤔
It was with sadness I heard the news that Prince P It was with sadness I heard the news that Prince Philip had passed away today.  I immediately started to reminiscence about the time I met the Prince.  I was in my early teens Her Majesty The Queen and Prince Philip were visiting Canterbury, where I grew up.  @archbishops.memes was one of the local secondary schools chosen to line the streets and welcome the royal couple.  My headmaster had bought several beautiful bouquets of flowers for pupils to present to the queen. I sadly, was not one of those lucky kids!  I decided to take matters into my own hands. I took my loose change & put it together with whatever my bestie Victoria and my boyfriend John had. I think it amounted to the grand total just over £1.20! So I went into the local green grocers and bought one small bunch of Narcissus.  Yes, they did look a little pitiful compared to those florist produced bouquets but I was obviously very proud of myself when the prince spotted me waving them around and came over.  I asked him if he could give the flowers to the Queen and he replied “Why don’t you give them to her yourself” 😲  I took one look at the metal barrier between us & thought that’s not going to happen but before I knew it he’d just lifted me over the barrier (obviously I was a lot lighter in those days!). 😳  I was ushered to the end of a long line of brownies, guides, head boys and girls and prefects to give my flowers to the Queen. She got to me and asked me how I was and what school I was from. “What lovely flowers” she said and with that she was off.  Well I was on cloud nine! I was stopped by the local press, at that age I felt like a celebrity.  What an amazing man to give me that opportunity - RIP  My thoughts are with @theroyalfamily at this sad time.
ARE YOU A WINNER?🥳🥳🥳 - The planner survey ARE YOU A WINNER?🥳🥳🥳-The planner survey results are in!  Congratulations to Ramona Harries who’s won our Planner Survey Competition! 🙌🤩😁  If anyone know Ramona please tag her as I can’t get hold of her through email 😳  Ramona have won...  - NEW 2021 HELLO TIME Planner- To-Do List & Notepad- Diary Sticker Pack- x4 Pencil Pack- Handmade Pen Pot- Washi Tape Duo- x5 Pack of greeting cards  Huge thanks to Ramona and everyone who took time out of their day to complete our recent planner survey.  We had an amazing response and this will provide some much needed consumer insight in developing our next planner.  I’m over the moon to say, that the results have been breathtakingly positive - Phew! 😅
I’m looking forward to sharing some of the results on here over the coming weeks!
CREATIVE SPIN - Wow-what a quote! 
Does this res CREATIVE SPIN-Wow-what a quote!
Does this resonate with you?  It has struck a chord with me just lately, especially after spending the last two years working at the rate of knots to get HELLO TIME up and running. Sound familiar to you small business owners? 😳
This year, however, is a year of product development and innovation, and I know I desperately need to slow down to engage my creative side of the brain. 
I earn a living through my creativity, and yet over the last year, it's become a roller coaster of speed. I got my greetings cards out to market, made my website more responsive, improved my customer journey, developed my packaging, packed customer orders and tackled that never-ending to-do list! All this whilst keeping my design clients happy and helping them build their brands @aliliastudio 
Austin writes, "It's impossible to pay proper attention to your life if you are hurtling along at lightning speed. When your job is to see things other people don't, you have to slow down enough that you can actually look."
So it's back to the drawing board this year to give my creativity a chance to do what it does best and give it a breather! Ideas come alive when you are not anxious or stressed or burnt out. 
So this year I'm going to schedule days where I research, look at stimulus and let my mind run free and perhaps it won't be the most productive of days, but it will be the most rewarding.
