I have made hundreds of bars of soap this week, but I think this Eryri one might be my favourite.

Sometimes I wish I could predict, and plan, how the swirls will end up, but I guess then they wouldn’t be as individual and as unique as they are 🤩

Have a great day. Anyone got any mountain adventures planned for this weekend?

Five reasons your soap deserves a proper bed.

1. It’s been working hard all day. It deserves somewhere dry to rest.
2. Nobody likes sitting in a puddle of their own making 🫣😬
3. A soggy bottom is rarely a good thing. Just ask Paul Hollywood.
4. A soap dish that drains properly helps your bar dry out between uses, so it lasts longer.
5. You’ve spent £5.50 on a beautiful bar of handmade soap. Don’t let it stick to the bath or worse still, turn snotty! 🥺

Give your soap a little dignity. Get it a dish!

What does this have to do with soap?

Absolutely nothing. Which is also a fairly accurate description of large chunks of my Friday morning newsletter.

Three reasons to subscribe:

1. It’ll make me disproportionately happy.
2. You’ll become one of a highly exclusive group of just over 200 people.*
3. You get 20% off.

*Highly exclusive mainly because apparently I’m not very good at growing an email list. 😂

So, I’ve set myself a challenge. Can I get to 250 subscribers by the end of the year? Go on, help a woman out here 🙏🏻👍😁

There’s a reason some eco swaps don’t stick.

Try eco-friendly alternative
➡️ discover it’s a bit rubbish
➡️ quietly return to the plastic version…

And I don’t blame you because being better for the planet shouldn’t mean putting up with a product that you don’t enjoy using. But there ARE great options out there.

May I suggest starting with soap? 😏

Bore da / good morning!
WAY too wet this morning to wander in the garden so here’s a teeny bit of our morning walk 😂☔️☔️

Hope you had a fab weekend? Weather wasn’t too bad here really, until this morning, and I got (almost) everything done that I wanted to do, so I call that a success 🎉

Lots to do, must crack on, you know where I am if you need any soap 👇😉😁

Your weekly Jac content has arrived.

I had to cut it down a bit because I’m sure not even the most ardent Jac fan will sit through 7.5min of bouncing 🫣. One day I’ll have to let him bounce until he comes out of his own accord. Not happened yet 🤷‍♀️
