Tillingbrook Botanicals

I’ve been quiet on social media again which usually means family life needs to take priority for a little bit.

In the meantime I’m enjoying time in the garden and at the allotment when I can. I do have some soaps available for sale so just drop me a message if you would like to purchase. I’m happy to deliver locally 😊

We had so much fun at the Big and Bouncy Festival at Stoughton Infant’s school yesterday! The atmosphere was really relaxed and the weather was perfect ☀️

Thank you to everyone who supported us whether it was buying from us, taking part in Toby’s guess the scent challenge, sampling honey direct from the comb or simply just coming over for a chat. You are all amazing!

I’m doing a stall at this lovely event tomorrow and I thought I would share incase any of you lovely lot fancy coming along? There is no upper age limit on bouncing so watch out for some photos tomorrow 🤣

I’m just getting back up and running so my stock is limited but there will be more on the way soon. As always thank you for your support. It means so much 🥰

Look at the colour of these Pink Grapefruit lip balms I made today! 100% natural. Isn’t nature amazing 💕

Playing with natural face washes/scrubs on a wet bank holiday afternoon 😊

A simple blend of rose petals, oats, Tillingbrook Honey and rosehip oil. Good for more mature skin and proof that natural skincare doesn’t have to be complicated.

It looks beautiful in the pot but isn’t the easiest to use - see picture 2! I think I’ll try it in the shower next!

My favourite soap!
Simply Shea - unscented and great for my sensitive skin

My natural skin care journey started with my own sensitive skin. I spent many years using all sorts of lotions and potions from the doctor to try and ease my cracked and painful hands but nothing helped long term. Then I started reading and researching and over time worked out that for me handsoap soap was causing a lot of my problems. This is now the only soap I use. As one of my friends said ‘It’s beautiful! Like washing your hands with a moisturiser!’

Merry Christmas to you lovely lot and thank you for all your support this year. Wishing you all a very happy and relaxing festive season 🎄🥂

It may be grim outside but it’s warm and festive here! I’m at Shalford Church Christmas Tree Festival until 4pm today 🎄

Much to my own surprise I’m doing a small stall for the PTA at school today selling my bright plastic free soaps, lip balms and honey. I would love to see you there!

PS my newer soaps are still a work in progress but watch this space. In the meantime drop me a note if you are interested in ordering anything else 😊

The kids enjoyed this play on words at Legoland on Sunday! Tillingbrook Boo-tanicals 😂👻🎃🫣

I made soap!!! 🥳
It isn’t the prettiest and was borne out of necessity (we have finally run out of the unscented Shea bar which is the only one my sensitive skin can tolerate) but I LOVED doing it. You can tell how keen I was to get it out of the mould because it’s all squished at the edges! 😂

My new Monday morning reality!! But I am so so grateful for the me time it gives me and for the fact that Toby is making progress and now able to attend his therapy farm for short periods without me. I’m using the time to walk and to focus on paperwork I need to be able to sell my cold process soaps later in the year 🤞🤞🤞
