Applying a grape-sized portion of Sweet Sleep to your skin each night, as part of your bedtime routine, will give your body its daily dose. Our customers have found Sweet Sleep has helped with so many symptoms including anxiety, insomnia and pain. "It gave me my life back" sweetbeeorganics.co.uk Instagram: sweetbeeorganics
TOETOE SOCKS
Although everyone experiences some kind of foot discomfort or issue at some stage in their lives, we generally tend to leave it unattended and eventually forget about it. Human nature! But everything in the body is connected. Looking at the design structure of the foot, there is nothing fixed; on the contrary, everything is able to move and adjust to any situation it may encounter. When the elements of the foot create a continuous movement pattern, this makes the movement at the next joint up easier. What these toe-separated socks offer is not only good for the anatomical features of the foot but also for the rest of the body through the spiralling connectivity.

The Warrior Table
How about this for a cosy Christmas supper...a stunning driftwood slab table, officially named the Warrior Table. It comes from Argonauts, a company founded by designer-maker Jason Morenikeji. All his lighting, tableware and furniture is fabricated from sustainably reclaimed wood. The Warrior Table has its own unique story. It’s life as a Douglas Fir tree began nearly 60-years ago in America.
Its wood was cut and transported to the UK to create part of the Scottish Groynes sea defence. After a huge storm, a large section washed up on the Sandy beach at Gullane, a southern shore town off the Firth of Forth on the east coast of Scotland. This treasure was discovered and up-cycled by Argonauts in 2021. The block was then Shousugiban’ed — the 18th-century Japanese technique of preserving wood by charring it with fire.
This helps to enhance the beautiful grain texture, before being sealed with finishing oil and lovingly polished. The four metal bow-ties securely fastening the crack line add a stunning design feature. This Driftwood Block Table with its authentic Wabi Sabi imperfections, neo-primitive design and surface textures, is perfect for contemporary rustic aesthetics. Every grain, scuff, or wood bruise tells a story. Dimensions: W78cm x D55cm x H45cm
