20 lucky Amazon customers were able to enjoy a bath bomb making workshop with me at the Grand Hotel in Birmingham, and I must say how impressed I was with all the bath bombs everyone made and here are a few photos here of the day!
Everyone also got to enjoy a reflexology session and a guided meditation, as well as an amazing afternoon tea. And they went home with a gift box containing their own handmade bath bombs as well as a matching Fizzy Fuzzy soy wax candle.
Thank you to everyone who came for making it a truly memorable day, and thank you again to Amazon for making it happen! 💕
I am so excited to have been chosen to partner with a new business venture called Trading-Stories.
Fizzy Fuzzy products will feature in their new Trading-Stories
packages.
Their company ethos is about showing the world the stories behind the products.
So... drum roll ... they have produced a short video featuring me and my products!!

The new soap stars that are raising the bar
Bin that plastic bottle of shower gel. The soap bar is back – and better than ever, writes Claire Coleman of The Telegraph
Bars of soap are back – and in a big way. Once thought to be old-fashioned, drying and harbourers of germs, we shunned them in favour of shower mousses and liquid soaps.
Now, though, we’ve fallen in love with them all over again. Data from Kantar Worldpanel show that in the year to September 2018, Britons spent £68.3 million on barred soaps. That’s up 2.9 per cent on the previous 12 months, confirming market analysis by Mintel in the preceding years.
Part of it is down to environmental concerns. A bar of soap requires minimal packaging and Kantar’s researchers found that almost half of bar soap users say that they avoid products that are harmful to the environment.
But what about the fears that soaps are astringent and unhygienic? Newer formulations no longer dry skin out, while several scientific papers dispute the theory that bars spread germs. Then there’s the luxury factor.
“Bar soaps are now slightly more indulgent than they have been in the past, as there is now a bigger opportunity for a more premium offering,” says Tim Nancholas of Kantar Worldpanel.
