What did the presenter’s fans think of her morning ritual?
One fan said: “YES! Love that you posted this!”
Another wrote: “Wow, what does this do, what’s its purpose? How does it make you feel? Thanks.”
Someone replied: “Sage is so cleansing for your energy and your home. It uplifts, releases negativity and creates a beautiful energy vibe x.”
If something makes you feel good and it’s not bad for you then why not?
However, one user put: “I’d love to see some scientific evidence to back this up.”
They added in a separate comment: “If it has a placebo effect for you that’s great, but [it’s] anecdotal and entirely subjective.”
Someone argued: “If something makes you feel good and it’s not bad for you, then why not?”
When the sceptical user asked to see some “peer reviewed evidence from a respected scientific journal” that backed up claims Holly’s ritual achieved anything concrete, the discussion turned sour.

Posting a photo of herself at her laptop, she wrote simply: “Plotting and planning…”
