HI Annette, Thanks for your reply I had a look at your site and it looks great. I am not very 'hands on' did you find it difficult communicating with someone so far away? I am assumimg that you are not also in Austrailia

I went through a brilliant girl at www.morrisbear.com. She designs boutique websites based on oscommerce. She's in Australia but works internationally and is incredibly inexpensive. She designed my site over a year ago and I've been thrilled with it.

A Little About Me:
I am married to Peter and have two grown up sons. My eldest son has a little boy Jacob and they are expecting a second child next month. I moved to the Highlands about 16 months ago. Before that I lived in Surrey and was a Palliative care nurse specialist. I love singing in a choir and ceididh dancing and walking my two dogs. Also last but not least spending time with Jacob who is a delight.
A Little About My Business
My business was inspired by Jacob when I started buying organic cotton clothes for him and loved the quality and softness and the fact that it was helping the environment. I now have a website which has been running for about 8 months selling Organic cotton baby and childrens clothes and accessories and organic baby skincare. I publish regular news about eco issues and have a daily blog.

Greening your laundry

I have found some tips on laundry using green methods which quite interested me, all the cleaning and laundry products I buy are Ecover and I have been thinking for some while that I ought to think about making some of my own. I have been inspired by my daughter in law who is using cleaning products that she makes herself. My sons asthma has definitely improved since she stopped using toxic nasties. Anyway I digress as usual but I have found some tips which may be of interest to you and will sav… Continue

Ethical Shopping

Ethical shopping is a subject much discussed at present but what does it actually mean to consumers? Wikipedia defines it as buying things which have caused no harm or exploitation to humans, animals or the natural environment. Our newspapers are full of tales of factory farming, climate change, sweatshops and child labour and it has been suggested that any purchase involves moral choices. Lets be realistic buying is a necessary part of modern life the nitty gritty is deciding whether we will ex… Continue

Is being ‘Green’ a middle class thing?

I have recently been thinking about the concept of being ‘green’ and asking myself is it a middle class thing? ” Green is the new black” scream headlines so yes it’s definitely trendy and generating lots of interest. I posted my question on a couple of forums to see what other people thought and had a number of very interesting replies. It’s more to do with motivation and is not a class thing at all suggested one person. Another thought that the suggestion that being green was middle class was j… Continue

Aspartame - Best Avoided

Lots of driving today! My car was due a service so off to Inverness, as I like to do as many things as possible when I drive down I had my hair cut and did the shopping as well. All very tiring I am not very fond of driving it's more necessity than pleasure as far as I am concerned.

I received a very informative email the other day about Aspartame which is an artificial sweetner found in drinks labelled 'sugar free'. I remember some time ago a doctor that I worked with telling me what an unplea… Continue

Hi Linda
Yes, I have sample sizes of my skin care products. Just waiting for some small bottles to arrive. The labels for the most popular items are all printed up already. If you let me know which products you want then I put together a parcel for you to see what I am talking about.
