1. Bespoke Mothers Day Blend

   Posted on 4:04pm Thursday 5th Mar 2015

   All our bespoke face & body oils are formulated with a synergetic blend of essential oils to meet our client’s personal requirements. They are nourishing and their scent is perfectly balanced, giving them a sophisticated and luxurious feel; the perfect gift to spoil our mum’s with!

   Our bespoke oils work both from an therapeutic aspect, offering relief from many emotional and physical conditions as well as purely sensory pleasure, from my 15 years of practising Aromatherapy I have found the best way of finding out what our bodies need is to simply follow our noses... whatever essential oils we are drawn to is what our bodies need.

   Do you know what your mother likes? Is it wild flowers, roses or geraniums? Or is she keen on fresh citrus scents? Maybe she’s more into herbs or earthy notes.

   Don’t panic if can’t remember anything specific, help is at hand, Sarah (my in-house very gifted Aromatherapist) and I will blend something suitable for your mum, just send us a couple of sentences about her or use our Bespoke Oil Order Form and we’ll suggest a blend for your approval. You may also decide to give her a Gift Voucher for the Bespoke Oil so that she may choose the blend herself.

   This is Sarah in action creating a Rose and Orange blend...

   

   

   

   

2. Bespoke Cinnamon & Coco Butter Soap

   Posted on 11:42am Thursday 29th Jan 2015

   This week I’ve been making bespoke soaps for an artist and gardener. With a job that requires so much of your hands every day, including contact harsh chemicals, it’s especially important that the hands are treated with ‘TLC’ wherever possible.

   I have put together a recipe to nourish and clean my client’s hands without her having to endure any of the dryness and irritation that anti-bacterial soap can often cause.

   Cinnamon is a predominant ingredient because, other than its delicious smell, it is one of nature’s most effective anti-bacterial agents. Other helpful effects of cinnamon include its ability to increase circulation, aid menstrual cramps and encourage the body to fight off the common cold.

   Whilst complimenting the smell of cinnamon beautifully, the coco butter gets to work at softening, nourishing and moisturising the hands.

   Inspired by nature in every aspect of her art (and in the ingredients of her soap) I rough cut her finished products to match her rustic, organic style and provided her with all the off cuts. Her useful travel soaps are also great for guest bathrooms.

   The minimum order for bespoke soaps is 6 large soaps.

3. Help For Heroes

   Posted on 1:18pm Tuesday 20th Jan 2015

   I recently created a special body oil that is being offered to injured soldiers supported by Help For Heroes. Since being introduced to Help For Heroes by a friend and client I have followed and supported the charity. It’s a cause I find hugely important, that awareness needs to be raised for and an inspirational I am only to pleased to be able to contribute to. My bespoke body oil was made to provide help in several unique ways, firstly by reducing scar tissue and nurturing and nourishing the skin. Calming chamomile is used to aid sleep and relaxation by soothing the nervous system while the oil’s other components contain anti-inflammatory properties, great for people with prosthetics as it helps to heal and prevent further irritation caused by painful rubbing. So far many heroes have received this bespoke Soveral body oil, and we hope many more will in the future.
