Sugar Beets are Perfect for Super Shiny Hair

Monday, October 10th, 2011

Burt's Bees Super Shiny ShampooThere’s no question about it: shiny hair is always the most healthy looking hair, and it’s something all of us strive for.  But how can you get shiny hair for yourself, naturally?  Well, thankfully there’s a simple way to achieve it in the comfort of your own home and that’s by using Burt’s Bees Super Shiny Shampoo.

Burt’s Bees Super Shiny Shampoo is the result of expert research into just what are the best ways to make hair healthy looking and glossy and because it’s from Burt’s Bees, it’s an ethically manufactured product made from natural ingredients so you can feel good about using it too!

One of the main ingredients in the shampoo is betaine, which is actually made from sugar beets.  This natural plant extract helps to repair even damaged hair and add shine.  Burt’s Bees have cleverly combined betaine with soy protein in this advanced formulation for maximum hydration.  Soy protein is a source of minerals and B vitamins which work in harmony with the betaine for a maximum gloss effect.  Because betaine and soy protein are natural moisturisers, Burt’s Bees Super Shiny Shampoo  locks in moisture and prevents hair from drying out, so not only does your hair look nourished and moisturised after using this shampoo, it actually is!  And if that wasn’t enough, this shampoo also contains honey, which of course Burt’s Bees are famous for.  Honey is not only delightfully sweet but it’s also an exceptional moisturiser.

Used daily along with the matching conditioner, Burt’s Bees Super Shiny Shampoo will give an unbeatable shine and strength to your hair, leaving it smooth, manageable and beautiful.

Remember that the natural moisturising ingredients in Burt’s Bees Super Shiny Shampoo are not only great for glistening locks, but they also help moisturise your skin, which is great news for your scalp as well.

Recycling Efforts Earn Royal Praise

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011

On Thursday 22nd September 2011, Seacourt staff, family and customers gathered to celebrate Seacourt’s second Queen’s Award forEnterprise in Sustainable Development.  HRH Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, made a special visit to theOxford –based family firm to commemorate the day and partake in the celebrations.

Amongst their many previous accolades in water reduction, green energy and being carbon neutral, the firm is now officially zero-waste (their last bin collection to landfill was in October 2009), a world first in the printing trade, and certainly among the first in all trade categories in the UK.  Everything is either recycled or reused.  HRH took a special interest in the recycling bay where all containers were clearly labelled and organised.

Lord Lieutenant of Oxfordshire, Tim Stevenson stated “It is known that winning a Queen’s Award is no mean achievement, you have to jump through some quite tricky hoops. It’s very much a sense of many are called but few are chosen”

The Duke of Kent presented Chairman Jim Dinnage with the award saying “Seacourt are a remarkable company and should be used as an exemplar for sustainability.  I do not think anyone can underestimate the work involved over many years, it has taken a great deal of determination.”

Turnout at the celebrations was overwhelming, with guests, civic representatives, press and media as well as staff, family and friends all there to celebrate the grand achievement.

“We won our first Queen’s Award for Sustainable Development 4 years ago, which was a wonderful achievement in itself” stated Jim Dinnage.  “But to win a second award alongside the first is just amazing.  Our greatest thanks must go to our wonderful staff for their hard work, and to our loyal customers who supported our efforts all these years.”

Higher Blacklands Farm Cottage, Somerset

Saturday, October 1st, 2011

Higher Blacklands is a working organic hill farm located in the heart of Exmoor National Park near the attractive moorland village of Withypool. We farm cattle and sheep, and have our own hens and a herd of Exmoor ponies. The farm cottage sleeps four in two ensuite bedrooms. Spring water comes from our own borehole. The farm is a perfect base for exploring Exmoor. We have direct access onto the moor for riding and walking. We can offer stabling and grazing if you would like to bring your own horse. Friendly dogs are welcome. We are only a mile from the Two Moors Way, a long distance walking route across the scenic landscape of Dartmoor and Exmoor. Nearby villages offer a range of pubs, restaurants and village stores. http://www.organicholidays.co.uk/at/2997.htm
