Balms, Balms & More Balms


Everywhere we look today there's balms! On the counter, in boxes, on shelves and now on the website.


We've a fantastic selection of balms that are ideal for stocking fillers or secret santa presents. Gorgeous little tins and pots of scented loveliness. Our favourite is Rose & Co Rose Petal Salve £5.50, an invaluable beauty balm. Useful for dry patches, chapped lips, to tame lashes and brows -use anywhere you need a little shine! Kate Winslet is a huge fan of the salve and keeps one in every handbag!

Do you have a keen gardener in the family? How about a Dr Roses' Garden's Salve £5.50. An all natural, soothing balm from Rose & Co. which contains aromatic Lemongrass, Lavender to help soothe mild cuts and abrasions, Rosemary and a special blend of Almond Oil, Carrot Oil, Glycerine and Beeswax to help protect green fingers from the elements.

Badger Sleep Balm is always a bestseller this time of year. A dreamy organic night balm from the cult balm producer Badger. Rich with precious oils to calm, encourage, cheer and relax poetic badgers and other restless wanderers. Just rub a little balm under nose, on lips, on temples or other pulse points. The aroma does the work. Rosemary is the traditional herb for clear thinking, confidence, and memory. Bergamot is mentally uplifting. Ginger is strengthening and confidence-inducing. Balsam Fir is refreshing, like a walk in the woods. Lavender is the traditional sleep herb; fresh and relaxing. But Sleep Balm doesn't make you sleepy! It helps quiet your thoughts, then you fall asleep naturally.
Visit are website to pick up all of your stocking fillers in one go!

Christmas has started!

Christmas seems to have started here at the Nice Cream Company.

Our first Christmas window is in, decorations are up in the shop and the shelves are brimming with stocking fillers to blowout pamper kits.

The Korres Vanilla Plum Trio Gift Sets are selling really well. The Set comes in a
pretty transparent printed pouch containing three new Vanilla Plum scented products
from Korres Natural Products. Pack contains: Korres Vanilla Plum Showergel - 250ml
Korres Vanilla Plum Body Butter - 150ml Korres Vanilla Plum Lip Butter - 6g. All of
this for just £24.50. There is also a Mini Vanilla Plum Trio for just £14. One for
every budget. You may imagine this set to have a sweet scent, infact, it's the
opposite. Vanilla Plum is a gorgeous warm but spicy fragrance that will keep all
those winter chills at bay. The Korres Vanilla Plum lip butter gives a subtle but
delicious hint of blackcurrant to your lips. For a fresh day look wear it alone but
to vamp it up for the evening team over the top of Korres Mango Lipstick No. 24 in
Light Purple.

Visit our site to stock up on your vanilla gifts before they're gone!

Better late than never!

Sorry, we are a bit late with our blog. It's been a busy few days!

London was great, a whistle stop tour, but great. We wanted to visit the REN shop but after wandering around Liverpool Street for about 45 minutes we decided to press on to Holland Park and checkout the Dr Hauschka store. Now, you would imagine that you'd get off the tube at Holland Park, come up onto the high street and there would be the Dr Hauschka store. Wrong! After a number of tense phone calls to my husband (at work on multi-map) we arrive at the store, which is in the middle of a residential area. Not another shop insight. The store is small, calm and has everything Dr Hauschka, Wala and Liv organics have to offer. Fay and I stock all of the Dr Hauschka range in store but were really interested in the Wala natural toothpastes and mouth washes. They didn't disappoint and we're pleased to say that they will be in The Nice Cream Company very soon.

After a stressful morning of navigation we popped into Carluccio's for a large glass of Rose and a bowl of delicious pasta.

To avoid a repeat of the mornings disaster we hopped into a taxi and headed to the Kings Road to checkout the Korres store. The shop was fantastic. We could have spent the whole afternoon in there (in fact, we almost did). The staff were friendly, helpful and couldn't wait to take a look at The Nice Cream Company website. We came away with new friends and a date for a Korres Makeover day at The Nice Cream Company (watch this space for further info).

Jobs all completed (and a small amount of shopping carried out) we headed to our hotel. Of course it wasn't the boutique hotel we had been promised, but it was central and had a couple of beds so we were happy.

In the evening we met up with a couple of friends at Crazy Bear and had a great night. Good food, good wine and good company. Shame the same can't be said for the journey home!

With love
