At the end of November we celebrated 5 years as a thriving small business. I have to say, the evening was a roaring success. Therapists from all aspects attended, from sports massage through to nutritional advice. There was a lot of friendly, networking going on while discovering new brands.
From Brontie & Co we discovered an incredibly tasty alternative to coffee – Bare Cacao. Perfect for a warming afternoon drink, with no added sugar or caffeine. It’s suitable for vegans, diabetics and anyone with an intolerance to coffee. It was an absolute hit on the night and all of our attendees received a sample to try out when they got home. We also had Amanda from Be Gentle With Yourself with a number of products available. From candles and bath salts to very tasty digestive seeds. Everything smelt rather glorious and the various flavoured digestive seeds were very well received. Again Amanda was wonderful in providing a sample of the digestive seeds.
Our third local vendor was Lucy’s Luscious Raw Chocolate, which as you might have guessed, was all about the handmade raw chocolate treats. There was a great selection of flavours and fillings. I have it on good authority that they were utterly divine, I may have tried a few pieces myself, quality control you understand.
As you can imagine the evening was a roaring success, some lasting connections were made and our community grew that bit stronger. It’s wonderful to be able to support other local businesses and we are very thankfully to all those businesses that supported us on the night by supplying various products for our good bags. This celebration marked the start of a now monthly gathering, where we share ideas and offer support. We were so busy engaging in chats and eating wonderful food that we failed to snap photos, so thank you Áine from Honestly Aine for allowing us to use her photos. Expect more on this soon on our new monthly events very soon.
