What A Show..

Good Morning Everyone,

Today is "Thank you" Day.  No pretty pictures, and stories about products, just thank you!!!  

As you know, I've been at the House and Garden show for the past 10 days.  It was my very first show and I was soooooooooooo excited to be part of it.  Preparing months in advance and carefully planning "The Body Bar" Launch with blinkers the size of an elephant stuck on the sides my head.  

10 days later, my elephants are in the park and I can see...  Woooooooooooooow, what an experience.  I met such amazing artists there.  I was going to say people, but they are not just people in my eyes now, they're friends.  

The Glasshoppers with a phenomenal passion for glass were my fabulous neighbours at the show.  Do yourself a favour and visit their website.  Jen and Wally are so creative and form the perfect team.  Full of life and humour, they made the 10 days unpredictable, fun and friendly.  Thank you Jen and Wally for this funtabulous week.

Sam from What's Cutting was our neighbour to.  With her incredible laser cut birds, words and trees, she does it all with grace.  It amazed me to meet all these crafters, all passionate about their art.  Sam is fun, dynamic and full of life.  Check her facebook page to see the treasures she makes.

Next to us was also Shireen from Mendhi 4 U.  The most amazing mendhi art I've seen before.  As a family, they support each other and are loads of fun and laughter.  Check their blog to see the beautiful detailed work they do with mendhi.  

Gosh, there were sooooooooo many more fantastic treasures at the show, I cannot describe them all.  All I know, is that I feel blessed to have met them all and shared this wonderful 10 days with them.  Each individual has something unique and special to share which made the experience diverse, exciting and homely. Each personality added humongous value and formed part of the richness there is to find in Durban.  So thank you all for enriching my experience of the show and I hope to see you all soon.  

As for The Body Bar, I am at a loss for words.  A glorious launch, an amazing response, endless compliments and a deep sense of gratitude and satisfaction.  I am filled with inspiration, creativity and passion.  

Thank you all again for this enriching and delightful experience.

Finally set up and ready to Rock @ The House and Garden Show

Good Morning Everyone,

First I would like to apologise for the lack of posts last week.  I've been so busy preparing for the show and getting everything ready for the set up of my stall.  It has been such an exciting and creative journey conceiving and manifesting "The Body Bar's" first show ever.

So let me give you a little walk through my stall:

On the left is the "Buffet" and in the front is the "Menu"

So how does it all work??

The Menu

First we have the "Menu"- this part of my stall represents The Body Bar's set range of products.  Each concept is in a separate part of the display unit and somehow embellished to highlight the concept.

Each unit represents the story of a set.

Then we have:

The Buffet

This section is made up of 7 sections (steps to create your own custom made natural gourmet product)

I have prepared unfragranced Delicious Body Scrubs, Decadent Body Creams and Nourishing Bath Salts that you can fragrance and decorate yourself using a range our natural goodies such as Myrrh, Chamomile Flowers, Marigold Petals etc...

This section gives you the opportunity to create your product using a different set of fragrances such as Creme Brulee, Pina Colada, Amber and Sandalwood etc...  These do not form part of The Body Bar's set range but are sooooooooooooooooo good that it would be sad to miss out on them.  

This is the "Buffet" section

These are the lovely additives you can choose from - there are 10 different ones

These are the "Buffet" Fragrances

Then we have the:

Soap Bar

Each log of soap is handmade and delicious.  You can choose which log you want a bar from, we then cut and weigh it for you...  

Our stand is designed to create a Body Delicatessen, where you interact with our products.  We want you to learn the "Behind the scenes" of our range.  Of course, you will not see the actual product being made as this is already done and logistically requires a lot more but you still get to design your own final product.  

Thank you for visiting The Body Bar today

I hope to see you at the show as there are amazing things to see.  I walked around yesterday whilst we were all setting up and everyone is so unique and has something made with love to offer.
