BALM BALM IN WOMAN and HOME MAGAZINE - march 2010
"BOOST YOUR MOOD NOW" Many quotes and recipes from Glenda on page 132 in March 2010 Woman & Home. Just one example here;
FEELING DOWN AND A LITTLE BLUE? You need "Citrus oils - lemon, bergamot and sweet orange. They whisk you back to summer and lift your spirits." You must try "Mix three drops of each with a teaspoon of Jojoba Oil. Store in a b bottle and dab on, like perfume, through the day".
Sarah Vine is the Sunday Times says; "For your dry cheeks, I would recomend Balm Balm's Tea Tree Face Balm. You can use it pretty much anywhere and a little goes a long way"
ROMANIA DEVELOPING A TASTE FOR BALM BALM Roxana of Romanian website BioBeauty has put Balm Balm into 11 Plafar stores throughout Romania and in some other Natural Stores too.
BALM BALM FEATURES MUSIC BY THE PINDROPS The beginning of us putting new and varied things on the site for yours and our enjoyment
The first area we are putting up on the site is MUSIC. This features a very special, eclectic acoustic band and friends who live and play around Bristol. The band is 'headed' by Piers who has his very own STRAWDIO, (Sound studio made of straw), so it is not hard to make parallels between us and them. After all. This must be a close as is humanly possible to listening to Organic Music!
Try this sampler below which features two tracks from Piers' album - Tin, Talk & Township. You can see more by clicking HERE. If you click into the album, you get the chance to hear many more sample tracks, track listings and biogs etc,.

RUDE HEALTH We exhibited at Rude Health in September this year for the first time. It was a Natural Beauty & Food exhibition open to public and the trade.
We loved it and Dublin. Managed to do culture (The Book of Kells), and lots of pubs too!
KT Tunstall In danger of being a little bit groovey, Balm Balm were pleased to hear from KT Tunstall herself, that she "loves Balm Balm" and thinks it "such a good idea".
KT was recently recognised in the music industry by winning a 'Brit Award' and is doing very nicely in the USA. We wish her well and hope she enjoys our new lines just as much. She was an early exponent of zapping her Balm Balm in the microwave and enjoyed adding neroli essential oil to it.
FLORACOLOGIE
Glenda Taylor, creator & founder of Balm Balm, has consulted for many other companies such as Lil-Lets and Little Me Baby Organics. Her latest project involves working with Bach Flower remedies expert - Gerard Wolf.
