Big Blue Cosmetica

Revolution wasn't built in a day ✊🏼

When I started this business there was a lot about my vision that I felt was a little crazy, because it wasn't "the done thing", but I stuck with my vision and slowly slowly, with a lot of persistence and patience and contingency plans, it took shape and became a real thing.

I think imagination is a powerful force, and if more of us could access ours in order to get specific about what the world we want to live in looks like, and recognise how our behaviour and decisions either sabotage or support that vision - with grace, we're all children of capitalism and change takes time - then I know there’s hope that we might just take back our beautiful world from the capitalist sh*theads who are committed to endless profiteering at the expense of all that is precious on this one living planet.

Would love to hear where you find ways to boycott the system in your daily life in the comments too, whether as a business or as an individual! Let's inspire one another ❤️

Free gift wrapping too - just let me know what you need wrapped and I'll happily make it special (and 100% plastic free)

Thanks a million for all the support that kept me afloat in 2024, hope to see you somewhere soon 💛

Some raw thoughts, would really love to hear what they bring up for you in the comments ❤️

Huge thank you to everyone who still follows me and supports my small business, looking forward to bringing more of my whole self to this strange digital space.

Where to find me this month...







All excellent places to find unique, beautiful, handmade goods while supporting local small business 💛

If your soap goes very soft...it isn't sick, it's just basic 😅

Lol ok yes I'm a dork and puns are not my forte...but sharing my enthusiasm for and years of experience in soapmaking is!

Still a few spots left for this Saturday's workshop where we'll be making the holy grail of soaps - olive oil castille! It's as much a delight to use as it is to make.

The class is capped at 12 participants so it's the perfect relaxed intro to this infectious skill with plenty of time for questions. Hope to see you there!

Head to to book your spot or find the link in my bio 😊
