Posted by Mary on Saturday 24th Dec 2011

After a year of growth and recognition of our products and service, may we take a few moments to thank our customers and wish them a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

We will soon be going into a new year, with hope and (at this time of year) faith for a healthy and wealthy year in 2012 with continued growth of our business.

Mary Jean prepares for Spring time

Posted by Elizabeth on Wednesday 09th Mar 2011

As we are now in Spring of 2011, we have been looking at new packaging for some of our products, because of this we will have a number of promotions on offer to move our stock.

Some of our packaging we were not happy about because they were not easily recycleable, for example, our Kilner jars used to hold our bath salts... these Kilner jars will now be replaced with packaging that can be recycled.

Looking forward to 2011 with Mary Jean

Hello, I hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas, we had a relaxing day at home with my family. Using this holiday period, I caught up on some things that needed doing - things that I had forgotten about.

As the old year ends and a new one begins, at Mary Jean, we have been thinking about a number of new products (that we were hoping to introduce during 2010 however they were put on hold due to a lack of time) to benefit you're skin & body in a natural way... keep an eye on our website for further news.

Came across this page earlier today and thought it would be of interest to our readers just to make them aware of what to look for when buying an ethical product.

A few soap bars too many for one hotel guest

Posted by Elizabeth on Tuesday 08th Jun 2010

I came across this earlier today and just had to share it with you, very funny but also typical of many established hotel chains I imagine.

Springwatch 2010 on the BBC

Posted by Elizabeth on Tuesday 01st Jun 2010

With a growing interest in our countryside and wildlife over the years, I have found myself watching the new series of Springwatch recently.

Kate Humble has always been a favourite of mine anyway so viewing is especially more enjoyable!

The family face of Mary Jean

Posted by Mary on Monday 24th May 2010

We are full of joy now that we have a blog as we can write about what is happening not only with our business but life away from Mary Jean - and you can join in too by letting us know what you think... makes things more interesting don't you think?

Twitter is good but short messages lose so much expression and meaning so a blog was definitely on the cards at some point.
