Naturally Quirky

My business sidekick changed basketball clubs this year to the South Bay Dolphins. Training around the corner and one of his old team-mates nearby meant he was able to continue playing while I've been without a car. It was a tough game. The teams both came out hard and fighting for the win, yet still managed to joke and have fun at the same time. It was a great game to watch. Congratulations to the Dolphins for taking home the Gold!

Massive shout out to the U18B Dolphins team for taking the Gold home last night! 🤩🥇🔥 🐬

🍞🍫 Sourdough bread 🍫🍞

Loving making our own bread and we're all feeling better for it.

We're experimenting with different flavours. Plain just doesn't get eaten here.

So far, the successes are:
Herb and garlic
Cheese and chilli (my favourite)
Cheese and chives
Chives and garlic
Seedy
Apple and cinnamon

And the new one is
Chocolate choc chip

And it's another success!!

Can you suggest any other flavours to try?

😞😞 That peri itch! 😞😞

If you know, you know, right?!

I've hit that age, although only in the early stages. That point when those annoying little symptoms start driving you nuts!

The horrible cystic acne breakouts along the jaw.

The joint aches.

And the itchy skin. When you're laying in bed trying to fall asleep and it feels like hundreds of little needles prickling the skin at once. It feels like your skin just keeps sucking up every bit of moisturiser you slather on it.

Even my trusty body butter recipe couldn't keep up.

So I decided to change up the recipe a little and use some oils that love working with dry skin.

Still a thick, rich butter, but I've taken out the coconut oil, increased the cocoa butter and sweet almond oil and added in castor oil.

Gently scented with chamomile, frankincense and jasmine, all great options for aging 🤦‍♀️ skin.

I've been trialling this for a couple of days now and I'm loving it! Doesn't feel quite as greasy as my normal recipe but relieves that itchy feel and seems to absorb better.

Who else is dealing with the dreaded peri itch? What other symptoms are giving you grief?

🖤🤍 Limited Edition 🤍🖤

I'm still here!

I've been keeping busy behind the scenes, working on multiple wholesale orders as well as trying to keep up with mummy duties.

This here is a limited edition soap that will be available in a few weeks.

In the soaping world, if something doesn't work out quite the way we planned, we don't throw it out. We find a way to give it new life.

So when a couple of batches of my previous wholesale order (to be revealed in coming weeks) went ashy from being poured too thin, I found another way to use the pieces rather than waste them.

Meet "Up In Smoke". This soap is scented with my Incense blend of essential oils: lemon, frankincense, patchouli and ylang ylang.

Every single bar is unique due to the shape of each embed plus the pattern within the embed.

Available soon!
