Pure Nuff Stuff

All here is going along pretty much as you'd expect at the moment. We're getting nicely geared up for Christmas (oh I know, it's awful to be thinking about it so early, but we have to make soap months in advance) and we've got some super new products to launch for then.

The shop is getting a little quieter with the end of the tourist season looming, but we've had such fabulous weather this September that it seems even harder than ususal to welcome in the Autumn like we should. On a stricly personal note, the blackberry harvest is the only thing that I'm taking consolation in at the minute, it's been incredible this year hasn't it?

And I've been trying to catch up on some general reading as well (in between broadband hiccups) and have come across this which I thought might interest the active campaigners among you and this that I thought those of you whoe were as terrified about the whole mobile phone thing as I was might be interested in.

Have YOU seen anything interesting on the interweb recently?

Versatility of PNS products

Great to see you in the shop on Wednesday, Emily. I am loving the rose & Vanilla body bliss, which i am currently trying as face cleanser, body moisturiser and also hair conditioner......will report on results at a later date! Facial skin primers appear to be up and coming in cosmetic companies so here is a top PNS product tip. After applying creamdream and allowing 5 minutes for it to sink in, apply some SPF 20 sunscreen. It loves a fantastic finish on the skin, which through the summer has meant i haven't needed to do anything else to my face. Still doing it as Autumn overtakes and it is making a great base for applying my mineral blusher. Thanks, Emily and Helen for your continued efforts on our behalf! Di xx :)

*waves hello*

It was lovely to see you again Di and thanks for those very kind comments. We really do love the "multi-use-ability" of the products and it's great to see someone really taking that to heart and experimenting like you do - keep up the good work!

Sorry for not replying earlier, I've had a little break - I'll update this blog soon with all our recent activity when I've caught up with myself :)

Pure complacency...

The reply from J&J is so complacent. I hope that people vote with their buying power and choose safer alternatives - that's the way to do it!! As for mobiles -well, I'm just glad that I'm not addicted to mine - I only use mine when I really have to and can't remember when I last sent a text. In fact, I don't think that I can remember how to send one!! Plus the fact, they are a very expensive commodity. I can't believe what some of my friends spend every month on their mobiles. The latest thing to annoy me is natural cleaning products claiming to kill swine flu. The spiel goes along the lines of - the product contains EOs that have been shown to have anti-microbial properties. OK, it has been shown that some EOs do have such properties but when you Email the producer to ask about the standards to which the product conforms to in terms of its anti -microbial properties, you don't get a reply. I wonder why? That's what I love about PNS - no false claims. Hope everyone is well.

You do make me giggle

I'd LOVE to see a letter you wrote to someone asking them to substantiate these claims, I've wondered about them myself :)

And yes, complacency is rife and dangerous, but it seems that some people are getting through, have you seen the TIPS site by any chance, she's making real waves in the training of midwives now too, which is great.

We're all very well thanks, in fact we're bursting with good health and we're all a touch mischievous today too - hope you're having a top day too :)
