Tinted lip balms are back!
I’ve restocked my coconut & tallow balms and added two gentle natural tints this time, beetroot and hibiscus. They give such a lovely soft colour without any fuss.

They’re £2 a tube, and a little heads up… last time someone bought the entire batch, so if you fancy one, give me a message early!

Tallow & Coconut Whipped Balm is now restocked ✨
Small-batch made, as always.

This blend brings together two powerhouse ingredients:
• Tallow deeply nourishing, rich in vitamins A, D, E & K, and incredibly soothing for dry or sensitive skin.
• Coconut oil naturally softening, helps lock in moisture, and supports the skin’s barrier.

120ml • £6.99

If you’re one of the two lovely customers who requested a pot earlier, please pop me a message, I’ll honour the previous price for you. 🤍

Not my usual post but honestly, what even is my niche these days?

I went to a food pantry today. The chats were real and heartfelt, the kind of easy connection you don’t plan for but really need. It felt like true community. I think I’ll go again.

Funny thing is, years ago I tried to open a food bank in my village. I had backing from a big Nottingham church that already ran several, but no local space wanted to host it. I was told it “didn’t fit the area.”
Yet, both towns just a few miles either side were marked for food poverty. Go figure 🤷🏻‍♀️

Food poverty’s just the tip of it, really. There’s a whole hidden layer of people quietly struggling, unseen.

Not sure why I’m sharing this, maybe just a reminder that small acts and real community still matter.

🌿 This week’s little nature finds 🌿

It’s amazing what you spot when you slow down and look closely.
A spider guarding her silky nest, a cabbage white pupa tucked neatly against a wall, a baby snail on an adventure, and (I think!) a ruby tiger moth caterpillar making its way across the path.

Tiny moments of life, transformation and persistence all happening quietly around us. 🌱🕸🐌🦋

In acknowledgement of Rowan's hedgerow

Ivy

You creep where silence lingers,
where stone forgets its name,
your green and winding fingers
turn ruin into flame.

You never ask permission,
you simply find your way
up walls of old ambition,
through cracks where time decays.

Your leaves, a thousand mirrors,
reflecting shade and sun,
a whisper to the weary:
"Growth need not be done."

You bind what’s come asunder,
soft armour on the past,
a symbol born of wonder
the quiet things that last.

O ivy, stubborn dreamer,
you teach in every climb
that beauty is the keeper
of patience over time.

✨ Whipped Tallow Balm Update ✨
My whipped tallow balm (with coconut oil) will now be £6.99 for 120ml.

All current orders will, of course, be honoured at the original price 🤍

This small increase is just to cover the rising cost of packaging — glass especially has gone up so much over the past few years, and that’s filtered into other materials too.

Thank you so much for understanding and for supporting small, handmade products. Every order really does mean the world 🌿

Blowing away the cobwebs on this breezy afternoon.
Also means hiding away from the house viewings for a while, but it’s good to be out. My youngest is fast asleep in her pram, and my eldest is chatting away about college. We pause for a moment to listen to a long-tailed tit and take in the quiet beauty around us, a small reminder of how grounding nature can be. 🌿💨

Fixing family ailments and focusing on what’s in my control, that’s the season I’m in.

There’s a calm that comes with accepting how little I can actually fix, and just tending to what’s right in front of me.

Raising kids while the world keeps shifting feels like trying to find steady ground on moving sand.
The younger years felt easier, simpler somehow.
The teen years stretch me in ways I didn’t expect.

I’m noticing how my own habits play a part too.
I gave up my smartphone, and honestly… it’s been freeing.
Maybe it’s time to pack the rest away for a while.

Sustainability & My Work 🌿

Let’s talk packaging and workshops 👇

When I first started, glass was affordable , now not so much. So when I make vinegars or potions, I reuse jars wherever I can. My aim has always been to keep workshops accessible, if hosted in a café, I make sure everything’s covered so you don’t have to bring extra money or stress about add-ons.

Most recently, I chose plastic tubes for my lip balms. The kraft ones look lovely and tick the eco box, but at £3–4 per tube it would send my prices sky high. I’d rather stay affordable than have shelves full of unsold “eco” stock.

Because for me, sustainability also means affordability. ♻️💛
