I blinked a few times and now it's July - how can it be??? Maybe I have been bestowed with the power of moving at warp speed at the mere hint of an eyelash flutter!
Well it's been hectic, but I have managed to:
- Teach a hand cream workshop with the lovely Borough Belles WI (@boroughbelles) at the Garden Museum
Frankincense handcream - WI workshop at The Garden Museum
- Grab a chance to smell the roses at Regents Park during my Natural Perfumery Weekend at Regent's University.
This one is suitably named 'Absolutely Fabulous' and it is DiVIne
AbFab frag! heavenly scented roses at Regent's Park, London
- Then indulge in birthday cocktails and bubbly with friends - I DO recommend this potent beauty …
'Expresso Martini' instant energy in 3 sips!
- Sit around a campfire drinking Sangria until 4am with my family, my jumper still smells of Kentish bonfire smoke. I just LOVE a Summer birthday!!
Putting my social life aside for a moment, why not capture your own Smells of Summer? I have a couple of EVENTS coming up this month, which you can check out here on my workshops page. To book please follow the links below:
