this, that, some births and those ones

it has been a super crazy busy time! if i did not have some sort of measure of the amount of water that flowed under the bridge since my last post i'd swear i was here yesterday!

remember the light butler? well the light butler did what butlers do and opened a door to a little something that has been a lot of fun so far! i was approached by Sonja from Shoppe who got hold of the butler (and has since given it a happy home) and asked to make more lamps in that style suited for a desk or a table and the "sitting man lamps" range was born. 

they are about 250mm tall as the sit without a lamp. they are available at Shoppe so feel free to drop them a line. my idea was to have them in a relatively relaxed positions. life is often a little too serious.

something else happened along the way, i had been cultivating a healthy amount of face fuzz and needed to maintain it. i tried all sorts of expensive conditioners and shampoos but without any really satisfying success. 

the more i researched the more i came across all sorts of beard oils. now here i just want to note that just as a designer ski mask in the alps is some thing entirely different to a designer ski mask in the bank this is oil FOR a beard NOT FROM a beard... funnies aside  this stuff actually works fantastically well to soften the coarse facial hair that sprouts on ones shin. i did some research and yet another birth occurred. Mein Herr Natural Products. 

the range now sits at 4 beard oils, various body soaps, shampoo bars and we are working on a natural underarm deodorant all of which are hand crafted vegetable oil based and enhanced with essential oils. keep an eye open for future blogs and hopefully a website that will make these products available to you where ever you are to assist you to move over to a healthier way of maintaining personal hygiene, without harmful chemicals. spend a couple of minutes and see what Enoch says in the video below. this was the source of our soap conversion.

we are currently selling to friends and using on ourselves and our children to make sure that get the best oil combinations and the difference in our skin and hair is amazing! 

here is a shot of our little "soap-shelf" in my passage where we cure the soaps. it is now completely full and the need is starting to arise for a second shelf. lets just say that my house smells FANTASTIC...
