The Magic of Natural Handmade Skincare
Are you ready for the festive season?
I've been busy preparing gorgeous smelling skincare goodies for Christmas. It so satisfying preparing natural handmade products which are lush and feed your skin.
Today, I'd like to share a little story with you – one that's close to my heart and has inspired my journey into creating natural, handmade skincare products.
One Christmas, my daughter and I received a beautiful gift that seemed perfect at first glance. It was a set of bath bombs, soaps and moisturiser, crafted to delight the senses with their gorgeous decorations and enchanting fragrances. As a bath bomb and soap enthusiast, I was thrilled. But then, something unexpected happened.
When I used the bath bomb, I immediately started sneezing. My daughter, after trying the soap and accompanying hand moisturiser, complained of itchy hands within minutes. Puzzled and concerned, we examined the ingredients and discovered they were mingled with synthetic elements. That was our lightbulb moment. We realized that our skin deserved better – it deserved natural, gentle care.
This experience is one of the reasons I was passionate about creating Mel's Little Luxuries, a haven for those who cherish their skin and seek a truly personal spa experience. These products are not just items; they're an embodiment of love, care, and the joy of nature. Each piece is handcrafted with the finest natural ingredients, ensuring that your skin receives the hydration and nourishment it deserves.
At Mel's Little Luxuries, I believe in the power of natural care. The products are designed to pamper your skin, leaving you feeling revitalized and cherished. Whether you're seeking a sumptuous gift for a friend, a loved one, or yourself, my selection is tailored to offer that special touch of affection.

Why do you do what you do?
"Why do you do what you do?"
This question has popped up countless times in my journey.
My soap making journey began when I was looking for something to do.
I had taken some time out of my corporate background to spend quality time with my then, very young family. Because of long working hours, I found that I was missing out on the monumental dates at school that really mattered. You know what I mean; sport's day, concerts and plays. For me, my kids were my priority and I wanted to be there for them.
I got a simple melt and pour soap kit and started playing around with it. It was amazing fun. l could create quick simple projects and enjoy the results.
It occurred to me that I could start using skin loving ingredients which was important for me, as 2 of my children had dry skin conditions which irritated them.
I began experimenting with ingredients which left their skin feeling hydrated and moisturized. I started looking at soap making in more detail knowing that I could create beautiful soap bars with great benefits for the skin.
My friends began asking me questions about what I was doing and then asked if I could make them pamper treats and little gifts for friends. I suddenly had that lightbulb moment where I realized that I could run my own soap making business.
I did all the research and trained so that I could produce quality soaps and have never looked back.
This journey has been so empowering. I have a business which I can run around my family and I actually enjoy getting up in the morning. Working in an environment which is enriched with gorgeous smelling essential oils and botanicals is absolutely incredible.
Now, I educate others about the wonderful world of soap. In fact, I am running a three day challenge called The Bubbles to Bank Challenge to help people who are going through the circumstances I have described. The challenge is going to cover topics such as botanicals, infusions, ethical sourcing and making visually appealing and captivating soaps. Want to know more?

Welcome To Mel's Little Luxuries
I recently started a YouTube Channel.
This is a little unusual for me as I am a huge technophobe and would rather be making soap and all things that smell nice.
I made the decision to create the channel as I wanted people to learn about the person behind Mel's Little Luxuries, the business and most importantly, how I can help them.
I will also be blending in bits of self care because it's so important for you to prioritise your needs. There are times when we become so absorbed with helping others that we forget to help ourselves first. We become resentful when we start running on empty. We feel obliged in helping others first, (people pleasing), because we are frightened of what people will think of us, when we start saying "no". We have to learn to set boundaries. It all boils down to that old adage of, putting the oxygen mask on yourself first.
I've attached the YouTube video, so take a look and please remember to subscribe.
