Our new Body Cream with Arnica Extract was released last week and already I am making a fresh batch to restock the shelves!

There are two to choose from both featuring Arnica and Calendula Extract. Our Calming Blend has a soothing blend of Lavender and Chamomile Essential Oils while the Soothing has a fresh blend of peppermint, tea tree and lavender along with menthol crystals to offer a cooling effect on the skin.

These creams were designed to have an extended rub time, encouraging a gentle massage to aid in soothing the skin.

Elegance has been the most popular scent in our new perfume range.

I find this interesting as it is the only one that is not a dupe of a well known fragrance house. It was simply a fragrance I thought was too strong for moisturisers, but would make a lovely perfume.

It is available as either a Solid Perfume to offer a "close" personal scent experience or as a part of our Dry Oil Perfume that it will cloud around you as you move. It is also available in our Solid Lotion Bars for those that want to layer the scent.

Spring is here 💐My favourite time of year for seeing all the new life, but not so much for the sniffles from all the pollen!

I will be keep a few of the Menthol Shower Steamers on hand to get me through the next few weeks, especially the Breathe Blend. This one features Peppermint, Eucalyptus and Camphor to help chase those sniffle away.

Awaken and Uplift are other excellent choices full of clean citrus essential oils as well as that fresh menthol.

Not sure which one best suits you? Grab one of the Discovery Collections and try all seven.

We're at that time of year when Mother Nature can't decide what temperate to make the days! Last week we had days reaching up to 34℃ but this week the max is about 24℃.
With these fluctuating temperatures, it's time to think about the Winter Edition Tallow Balm! Although this will survive summer in your bathroom, sadly, it won't survive the postal system 😆
For the next two weeks, the weather is looking good for shipping the remaining Tallow Balm so if you are a fan, make sure you add a couple of pots to your order while it's available online!
The Honey Vanilla Tallow Balm will be back next year but the Orange Patchouli will not be returning as you all preferred the original blend.

🔥Almost Gone! 🔥

With the cooler days over the last few weeks, our Heat Packs have been flying off the shelves at the store!

I’ve been moving online stock to the shop each day to keep the shelves well stocked and give in-store customers plenty of designs to choose from. But many of the patterns have now sold out, and with current stock levels, I expect the remaining Heat Packs will be gone within the next couple of weeks.

Now is the final chance to grab our Heat Packs. They’re not only lovely to have on hand for yourself, they also make a practical and thoughtful Christmas gift, especially if you pair them with our new Soothing or Calming Body Cream. 🎁

Our Heat Packs are filled with lupins, making them a great option for those with coeliac disease as there is no gluten in the filling to come into contact with the skin.

Love a design that’s showing as sold out online? Send me a message before giving up! I may still have one on the store shelf. I’m keeping the online stock levels conservative to avoid overselling, so there may be a few hidden gems still available in-store. ❤️

Once they’re gone, they won’t be coming back!

It seems not that long ago that I said "I know it's early, but Christmas is coming!". Well that was a month ago and I am now in full swing of making Advent Calendar Stock, Christmas Soaps and gift packs!
It just occurred to me I do still have a few of the Christmas Gnome Earrings available. With everything else I have planned for this year, I don't think I will have time to make more this year so if you are keen to get yourself a pair grab them while they're available.
There are limited numbers in each colour design so get in quick.

Sometimes I have the most amazing soap ideas in my head! But they don't quite translate into bars of soap 😆
Take for example Maple Cookie Soap 🍪 The idea was a Christmas inspired soap of a glass of milk with a cookie being dunked into. When I selected the mould for the cookie, I picked one that was way too big so this cookie barely fit the mould! Although we all wish there was more cookie than milk, it certainly didn't give me the look I was after. I did abandon this idea and came up with another design, but I had already made 40 bars of this soap 🤦‍♀️
Although it is not the design I intended, this is still a great bar of soap and smells amazing with notes of cinnamon, maple, vanilla and sugar. As such, these soaps have been added to the It's Still Soap collection at a bargain price!
I would normally say, grab them while they last but at 40 bars, I feel this may take a while 😆

If you love our Magnesium Cream but are looking for a non-Magnesium alternative, you will love our new Body Cream made with Arnica and Calendula Extract.

These rich creams are formulated to provide a soothing, relaxing massage experience that leaves your skin feeling calm, nourished, and deeply hydrated after a long day.
Our Soothing formula pairs cooling menthol crystals with a crisp blend of Tea Tree, Peppermint, and Lavender essential oils to deliver a refreshed, invigorating sensation to the skin.

For a gentler experience, our Calming option skips the menthol and incorporates our signature Lavender Dreams essential oil blend to leave skin feeling peaceful, comfortable, and beautifully soft.Both are available now online and in the store
