Just a quick post, as I’ve come down with some sort of bug (Paul says it can’t be flu as he’s got it too and he’s had the jab – but I feel like being dramatic, so we won’t rule it out). I normally wouldn’t blog at all in this state, and would instead collapse forlornly onto my bed and glue myself to Pinterest – however, I wanted to let you know about an event that’s taking place this Saturday.
The Beauty, Health & Wellbeing Show 2012 is due to take place in Croydon, and will see a variety of different natural, organic, fairtrade and vegan products on sale. There’s plenty of information about the event over on Wahanda – but I just thought I’d give it a quick mention on here because a) I grew up in Streatham, so Croydon is a very familiar place, and b) I’m really very excited about the products involved.
Earlier this week, the team at work were lucky enough to be sent some samples to try by Athene Skincare, the online store responsible for organising the Beauty, Health & Wellbeing Show. We’ve not had a chance to try them all out, but yesterday I did manage to put the Zum Bag to the test – and loved it. The Zum Bag (sounds odd, I know, but bear with me) is a gift set of mini products from Indigo Wild, all containing natural essential oils. Not only is the packaging fun ( ‘Frankincense & Myrrh – two out of three wise men agree’, reads the label) – but the products all smell wonderful, putting me in mind of my trip to India and of the solid perfume that I bought in Morocco. The goat’s milk soap lathered up beautifully, and the bath salts were just what I needed to relax my muscles after a long day.
There are plenty of other health and beauty treasures to be found on the Athene Skincare website, including roll-on fragrances from natural brand Pacifica and beautiful soaps from Wild Olive. All in all, definitely a site I’ll be keeping an eye on.
