The Secret To A Perfect Valentine's Day

Posted on January 22, 2024 by Melanie Brown

 

 

What does Valentine’s Day mean to you? 

As Valentine's Day approaches, our minds often drift to grand gestures and extravagant gifts. But is that truly what this day of love is all about?

This year take a moment to appreciate the smaller, more intimate expressions of affection – the kind that resonates deeply within your heart.

Imagine a cosy evening at home, away from the crowded restaurants and the pressure of making everything 'just perfect'.

Picture this: soft music playing in the background, a warm, ambient glow from flickering candles, and the comforting embrace of your loved one. Isn't this a more heartfelt celebration of love?

Valentine's Day, at its core, is about showing care and love in ways that truly matter. It's about creating a haven where you can relax, connect, and cherish each other's company. What better way to enhance this experience than with something crafted with as much love and care as you put into your relationship?

That's where my natural soaps come in. Made with the finest, natural ingredients, each bar is a work of art, an ode to love in its purest form. These soaps aren't just a cleansing product; they are an experience – a way to pamper yourself and your loved one, to make your evening at home feel like a luxurious retreat.

Enriched with soothing aromas and gentle textures, the Mel’s Little Luxuries soaps are perfect for a romantic, relaxing evening. As you bask in the tranquil ambiance you've created, let my soaps be a reminder of how the simplest things can be the most meaningful. This Valentine's Day, celebrate love in its most authentic form – celebrate with the gift of natural beauty and care.

Remember, the secret to a perfect Valentine's Day lies in the love you share and in the simple moments that you turn into cherished memories. Let Mel’s Little Luxuries natural soaps be a part of that memory, embodying the spirit of Valentine's in every lather.

What Memories Do Scents Conjure Up for You?

Posted on October 14, 2022 by Melanie Brown

When you think of Christmas, what scents does it conjure up for you? 🫢
 
There are so many different smells but the one that strikes out to me is peppermint.
 
I remember visiting a Christmas stall in Germany. It was freezing cold and didn’t deter visitors to the market. I recall getting a mug of hot chocolate which had a delicious hint of peppermint.
 
The drink was warming and somehow made me forget about the cold weather.
 
My Green Clay, Mint and Kelp Soap bar reminds me of the same relaxed feeling.
 
Imagine that you have had a stressful day and you just want to unwind.
 
You set a warm bath and relax with a bar of Green Clay, Mint, and Kelp soap. It's as if you are in your own personal spa.
 
It is refreshing and uplifting and helps you to wash away the troubles of the day. It helps you to feel 'you' again.

Check out our Green Clay, Mint and Kelp Soap. It's beautifully hydrating and moisturising. It is a wonderful mood enhancer.

The green clay is renowned for its detoxifying properties.

This is a gorgeous pamper treat for yourself and an amazing gift for a friend or loved one. Who knows what memories this will create for you.

5 Fabulous Reasons Why You Should Make Your Own Soap!

Posted on July 04, 2022 by Melanie Brown

I sort of fell into soapmaking by accident.

 

Some years back, I had taken a very long career break to look after my young family. I was expecting my third child but wanted to spend some quality time with them. I used to miss out on the monumental days at school, like Sport’s Day and Plays, and I really wanted to be there for them. Have you ever experienced that feeling?

During this time, I realized that I needed to keep my brain cells active and needed a hobby.

I got a beginners soapmaking box and was amazed at how simple it was.

I was able to create gorgeous uncomplicated soaps using botanicals and beautiful essential oils which were delicate on the skin. This was important to me bearing in mind that 2 of my children had a skin condition which made them feel incredibly uncomfortable. This little box showed me that I could be in control of what went into a bar of soap without the fear of ingredients making my children’s condition worse.

In addition, it gave me the opportunity to start a business from home which I could fit around my family. This meant that I was there when I needed to be and didn’t miss out on the key events at school.

These are the 5 things that I learnt about why you should make your own soap:

1.It makes an interesting hobby which will help you to develop a level of creativity. It gives you something else to do which will take you away from work and the pressures of life.

2.It is good for your mental and physical wellbeing. Self care is important and this actually allows you to carve precious time out for yourself and do something which is both enjoyable and therapeutic. 

3.Soapmaking gives you a level of control because you are the one who decides which ingredients go into your bars of soap. You can avoid the harmful ingredients and preservatives and replace them with good, natural products which are not going to bring about irritation and allergies. It is an empowering feeling. 

4.You save money. The majority of the utensils and tools you use, are found in your kitchen. Obviously, you are not going to use the same utensils which you use in the kitchen to make your soap. The point is that you do not need sophisticated equipment to make beautiful looking soap.

5.You can have fun! Soapmaking starts off as a series of practical steps to create wonderful soap, but this then turns into fun when you make soap for yourself and the family, and even coming up with amazing gifts for teachers, friends and loved ones. It gives you such satisfaction. 

Would you like to learn how to make soap?

If yes, I have a group which will be showing you how to make soap for fun and for profit. I will introduce you to the amazing world of soapmaking, the steps to take, the ingredients you can use and how to create soap for yourself, family and maybe even for making money. It’s an easy process and like it says on the tin, it’s for fun.
