Organic Fortnight

Organic Fortnight started on the 3rd September and runs unil 17th September. If you're looking for an organic treat of the non-food variety you could do a lot worse than a bar of Organic Lavender and Rose Geranium soap from Cornwall Soap Box (£450 for 100g). Hand-made in Cornwall using organic olive oil this soap smells devine and is available to order on-line.

Hanging on to summer...

It's not officially autumn until the 21st of September so I'm clinging onto summer with the help of my new organic Garden Mint and Bergamot Hand Wash (£10.50 from Neals Yard). I keep it by the kitchen sink instead of soap which is not only tidier but prettier too - I love their trademark blue bottles.

Oh for lovely soft hands

All that scrubbing, polishing and shining means that housework hands take a bit of a bashing . I've tried and tested tons of hand-creams and top of my list is Weleda's Seabuckthorne Hand Cream £4.95 (http://www.weleda.co.uk/). It's smells lovely and is great at the end of a hard days work in the house or garden.
