1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Super Salve & Celebrations

   Posted on 11:30am Friday 16th Jan 2015

   Some of you will know that this year, on 8^th June, Jorj & I will be celebrating 10 years of Soveral and we’d like to invite you to celebrate with us. . To start the festivities and to thank all who have ever purchased something from us, spread the Soveral word, written about us, followed our story or liked us on social media, we thought we would have a little competition.

   With such a milestone on the horizon and feeling both excited about the future and nostalgic of the past, I found myself thinking of my childhood. Listening to the radio as a child, I loved the competitions they had where the listeners had to call up and say their favourite thing about the radio show, in order to win something. So for all you listeners out there, here’s a little competition.

   The Competition

   Everyone who names their favourite thing about Soveral will win my brand new hand made ‘Super Salve’.
