Recycling In Action at Fortnum & Mason

Perfume dispensers at Fortnum & Mason

 I was browsing the completely gorgeous displays in Fortnum & Mason.  Not just the cakes honestly!  I wasn't really thinking about things green and environmentally friendly, just enjoying how beautiful everything looked.

As I wandered in to the perfume department I came across a display that intrigued me.  It was the large ornate glass dispensers in the photo above.  When I asked what they were for I was told that the dispensers are for re-filling perfume bottles.  This is not a new initiative.  I was told that it is the French way and Fortnum & Mason having been re-filling perfume bottles in this way for around 100 years.

How absolutely wonderful!

I thought that this cushion was a little harsh as it was in the Mens' Grooming section but it made me laugh.  It didn't seem to go down quite so well in doors.  Not sure why............

It's Great To Share That Feel Good Feeling

It’s Great To Share That Feel Good Feeling

Here at Aedos we know that we’re not perfect but we're trying to do things the right way.  

Take our shea butter which comes from Akoma.  It is 100% pure and 100% natural.  Better than that, it is also certified 100% organic by the Soil Association.  But best of all it is 100% Fairtrade. 

The lovely people at Akoma give the farmers a fair deal for their shea butter.  Akoma are working with farmers in a poverty stricken area of Ghana and, and particularly the women in the community to empower them to create better lives for themselves.  Through the Akoma Co-operative they aim to improve the local community in a number of ways.  These range from employment opportunities and training to improving local facilities such as schools, libraries and sanitary conveniences.  For more information about the Akoma Co-operative please click here. 

Shea butter is loved for its healing and nourishing effect on the skin.  We use it in our Sugar Scrubs and Hand & Body Balms and its one of the ingredients that make them so great to use. 

So whether you are treating yourself or that someone special it’s great to share that feel good feeling.
