On Sunday 18th July we took our products to the final of the Veuve Clicquot Polo Gold Cup at Cowdray, Midhurst. We wanted to promote the shop and the website and so gave out lots of free hotel-size samples of bath & shower gel and body lotion. We had a great time seeing the reactions of people to the essential oil fragrances; sweet orange, geranium and frankincense was the favourite followed by pink grapefruit, geranium and lemongrass. We had a prize draw for a hamper of our products worth £100 and handed out our new pull out 'peel and reveal' card which has two perfume strips to smell.We managed to take it in turns to look at the polo which is very exciting and very dangerous! I love looking at beautiful thoroughbred horses but am a bit reticent about how they are used in racing and polo. However I suppose they would not exist if these sports did not support them.
One of my favourite paintings is Whistlejacket by Stubbs. I don't know why I love horses so much as I am terrified at the thought of riding them or crossing a field with them in!
