Cris from Skin Blossom pops in for a cuppa.


I spoke to Cris the creator of the delightful Skin Blossom products the other day just to find out a little bit about why she decided to make certified organic body care products.

What struck me is how similar we are really both busy mums trying to cram in too much into the day – with one exception Cris is expecting her 2nd child and due to give birth very very soon! Hope all goes well Cris.

The range Cris offers includes a hand cream, body lotion and body wash all of which I must say are delightful. I get really cracked hands from riding my Brompton to work and the other day I forgot my gloves and cracked my knuckles but I blobbed on a great load of the hand cream and after a few applications the cracks were much better! Good going I think...

One of Cris’s main drivers for making this range is to provide certified organic products which are affordable. I think Cris has done this really well as all the products come in at £6.00 or under. Cris has had lots of experience making her own blends for her family and it was this experience which lead her to create Organic Bloom. It was difficult to gain Certification from the Soil Association, Cris explained as there are many procedures which need to be adhered. Cris wanted to create credible and affordable products so Soil Association Certification was the only way to achieve this in her eyes.

Cris is already planning her next additions to the range – facial moisturiser and cleanser, which will be available in the new year. Even though Cris will have a new little baba she plans to keep up the pace and launch her marketing and pr plan to raise the profile of the brand so that more people get to hear about the great range.

Organic Discoveries

I have found a fantastic soil association grower in Scarisbrick, Lancashire - ManicOrganic - I popped in to have a little look today. Julia has lots of lovely organic produce and local produce too... who needs supermarkets when you have such great growers on your door stop - minimal food miles and a whole lot tastier & fresher!! If you are ever passing I would strongly recomend sampling some of the fab veg...Go ManicOrganic!!!

Wot no baby changing facilities

Why oh why would a hospital not have baby changing facility's - is it a requirement to have offspring that are older than 2?? Is it a baby free zone?? I certainly couldn't see the sign that said this and my daughter should have charged out her services as entertainment as she cheered up the patients, some of who had been waiting for 2 hours!!!! The hospital is Wrightington - the site has managed to accommodate conferencing facilities but no baby changing area. Madness!!!

Feel free to join in with your baby changing gripes!!!

Writers block

My goodness that is the layout complete.. now the tough stuff!! Just what do you write on a blog?! I decided to have a think while gazing at the ships coming into Port at Liverpool.
I think this might be therapy, it is rather relaxing!!!

Its been a very difficult few months for the Davies clan! Trying to bring up a baby, start your own business, complete a CIM diploma and work nearly full time. I must be mad but I have brought it on by myself!! I'm so lucky as I have a fantastic husband who is always supporting me through my madcap schemes!!!

There are some excellent points - I have to try all my products - such hardwork!! So what do I think about those lip glosses!! Don't get me started they are excellent - I'm trying to work my way through the different colours but they are just so yummy. I must admit i did try them in the wind and they passed the test!!

As well as organic stuff, I also love my little brompton! Its such a fantastic invention. Why walk when you can take the lazy option and brompton everywhere!!!
