Summer in Good Old Blighty

Let's face it us Brits love to travel, but give us a sunny day in Britain....& the shorts come out,  there is nothing better than a local day out with a picnic & our trusty flask!
Since launching our soapy business to the world early last year we have become very fond of our outdoor events.
Our first outdoor event was the Jubilee celebrations in Warrington town centre June 2012. it looked like this! however we cannot show you how it felt.....it was freezing!!!!


( click on photo to continue) Our stall set out has changed many times, but our signature bright yellow table has followed us everywhere. 


You can now find us in our regular slot in a super Farmers Market in Stockton Heath in Cheshire, last Sunday of the month, this vibrant producers market has local produce in abundance & is very popular with villagers & visitors from further afield.

Happy to move between counties we attended the Vintage Car Rally at the beautiful prestigious Speke Hall in Merseyside 20th & 21st July 2013


Keep watching for updates....you could find us in a town by you ;-)

Sanex Zero 0%

Seen the new Sanex advert on tv.. amazing - they claim that is contains 'a reduced number of ingredients' and contains 0% Parabens, 0% Phenoxyethanol, 0% Colorants & 0% Phthalates.. That is all good news.. however it does contain: 

INGREDIENTS:

AQUA , SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE , GLYCERIN , COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE , SODIUM CHLORIDE , COCO-GLUCOSIDE , PARFUM , SODIUM LACTATE , LACTIC ACID , SODIUM BENZOATE .

Sanex Zero 0% link

It contains SLS.. wow :(

Sodium laureth sulfate, or sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) is an irritant like many other detergents, with the irritation increasing with concentration. It has also been shown that SLES causes eye or skin irritation in experiments done on animals and humans. The related surfactant SLS is a known irritant, and research suggests that SLES can also cause irritation after extended exposure in some people

SLES is an inexpensive (cheap) and very effective foaming agent. (we use coconut oil - which has real benefits to the skin as well as giving a great lather) SLES, SLSALS and sodium pareth sulfate are surfactants that are used in many cosmetic products for their cleansing and emulsifying properties. They behave similarly to soap. (Similar to soap.. but NOT the same as a natural cold processed soap that contain natural oils & butters)..

Hand's Up Who Loves Sunny Bank Holiday at Speke Hall???!!


We have to say a great big THANK YOU to Ali ...the most amazing organiser from Speke Hall! She even sorted out the weather! So from singing minstrels to jousting, this weekend was just total fun with a captital "F".
Kids & adults alike played in the grounds from morning till late afternoon, they learnt new skills from making candles to writing with quills.

So the Bank holiday came to the end, & we met some lovely people along the way....but thats not the end...
 If you ever find yourself looking for a day out with a difference ...we would recommend this beautiful location to anyone.
