Bath Fizz now at Belleva

During winter my entire routine changes organically. I am shattered in the day and wide awake at night. I like to sleep in the afternoon, then I am up for a few hours. I sleep late at night and then I am wide awake from about 1am onwards with a few cat naps. I have worked out I get between six and seven hours sleep per 24 hours. There’s a high wind outside. A storm brewing. The turbulent air coming across the Irish Sea. It’s so fervent and telling of our times.

The last few days I have been crafting Bath Fizz. It was supposed to be a bath bomb elixir, but they just would not set. A hobby founded between us during lockdown. So, I formulated Bath Fizz and it passed the chemist assessment. Not tested on animals, I may add.

The Fizz is so natural it could almost be edible. Consisting of corn starch, bicarbonate of soda, citrus powder, Himalayan rock salt, olive oil, water and then either essential or parfum oils. I am really proud of it.

I put together cinnamon and sweet orange oil. I discovered the orange oil is good for problem skin and cinnamon is an antioxidant so these combined with the Himalayan rock salt will be beneficial for a detox to the skin. Then, today Danielle mixed the Sea Spray Parfum with a new batch of fizz which has the most gorgeous aroma.

The fizz is packaged in degradable packaging. These are available for guests to purchase or can be picked up from the hotel. We also have a range of pamper boxes that include our CLP compliant melts in a range of intriguingly divine scents. Plus, hand poured soaps that are also fully licensed. They can be bought individually too. We will be adding more pictures and pricing in the coming days.

Such a therapeutic past time for the winter months. A mobile business. But for these cute items it is the scent that defines their loveliness. And when people experience the aromas, they want to buy them.

Individual large melts start from £1 and scent for up to 3 days.

A bag of 6 is £5.

Soaps start from £4 each. Fizz is £4 a pack.

Or we can prepare you a beautiful natural box full of goodies. Ideal for Xmas gifts or a treat just for you. Minimum order £10 for deliveries.  Why not arrange to drop by to the house to sample our range of melts, fizz, and soap. Handmade, hand poured in Blackpool using the finest ingredients. More to come shortly.

Taurana rehomed with New Moon at Belleva

I had some awesome guests here once more. Two of which were Steve and Pearl from York, who stayed in our Bae Suite. They loved the room that much they asked if they could purchase the bull on the wall, as they felt so at comfort with her in the room. The animal heads at Belleva by no means depict animal cruelty. They adorn all life and nature much like most of the decorative statements here. Many of which we have had for years.  

The heads of animals to us, are beautiful because they display the horns. No matter what our views are on our food choice, no animal should be killed or tortured for fun and that includes us homosapians.

Anyway, I sold the bull, and she is in another beautiful home. Everything at Belleva is for sale. The new moon moved from Taurus to Gemini on the same day, so letting go of Taurana was a real and beautiful transition of gratitude for the Gemini spirit such as myself. And we are very happy.

Thank you to Steve and Pearl for being so gracious. I hope to visit you in York next year for lunch and to browse your glorious town once more. It’s been years since I have been there. I must get back on the road more often.

Namaste.

The 2021 Full Moon Eclipse- Beaver Moon – Guest Blog

Alura Cein's avatarMetaMystics

Partial lunar eclipse in Taurus leading into a full moon in Gemini. Witness the event at 3:26 am. November 2021 Beaver Moon.

For the first time in 600 years, we will experience an eclipse that is the strongest it’s ever been in the last six centuries. The beaver moon this year of 2021 is going to throw a lot of peoples physical energy and emotional energies into an imbalance.

Some symptoms

A few days before and a few days after, people will have already started feeling the effects of the full moon. This is common every month, as the full moon usually triggers a lot of emotional response for many people. However when it comes to an eclipse in a full moon such as this, a lot of people will feel as though their equilibrium has been thrown off. You’ll notice that you feel a little weaker especially in your…

The Me, Me, Me Syndrome – Guest Blog

Stevie Turner's avatarStevie Turner

This is a little bit of a change today, as I think Planet Earth is a tad more important than Friday Click & Run. F C&R will be back next week, so get a good post ready to add to it…

With the COP26 conference still going on and the amount of media coverage there is at the moment, we cannot fail to realise that our planet is heating up. Over-use of fossil fuels, methane gas from cows, and de-forestation are the main culprits. We have seen extreme weather this year such as summer temperatures of nearly 50 degrees Centigrade (in Canada), forest wild fires and also flooding. The younger generation are particularly vocal in imploring nations to reduce greenhouse gases, insulate homes, eat less red meat, burn less coal, and stop cutting down trees.

Representatives from bigger nations who rely heavily on coal have been either absent from…

‘Christmas Ice’ Wax Melts – ‘Sea Spray’ Soap – Charity and Pride Ball

This week Danielle and myself decided to find a good home for a brand-new ‘spare’ king sized mattress I had here. Basically, the first mattresses I purchased I hated, there’s still one on a bed. There were just two of them and I got them online. The ‘now’ beds are from a fabulous shop in Blackpool.

We tried a few charity shops that hadn’t got space, so … I suggested we went to The Salvation Army. It was a real eye opener. I don’t want to go into it as it’s such righteous work but basically there were babies there from other parts of the world cradled in their mother’s arms. We both felt so sad and helpless. Yet, The Salvation Army had nowhere to store the mattress and such a huge building? It’s likely I will be helping out over Christmas. As some of you know, I love to be with community projects during the festive season. I find it grounding and this is when I get to meet more interesting people on the ground being near to them. The eyes are the windows to our soul away from a lens.

Anyway, we then found a tiny charity shop over the road where a man takes in stuff, washes it and sells everything for just £2 each. He gives stuff to the needy for free. We found some ethnic clothing there and got it for the mannequins. I don’t want to put the name of it here but he is not hard to find. It is just a tiny place. Bless that man.

Moving on, we sourced some beautiful, intensely rich parfum oil online. It is expensive but worth it for my melts. Last night I wanted a distraction from work so made some large melts in beautiful moulds. ‘Christmas Ice’ they’re called. I am going to tell you hand on heart this is the best scent so far. Relive the magical aura that surrounds the festive season and evokes imagery of dazzling snowflakes caressing the frozen winter grounds. It’s a fresh and dynamic aroma that embodies the spirit of Christmas. We will be selling them around Blackpool. Danielle is going to gift box them up and next I am crafting some Sea Spray to compliment these gorgeous little darlings. Danielle will be making her first melts next week too! And soap! We are fully licensed in soap and fizz making. Our melts are CLP compliant.

And I have not forgotten the bath fizz it just gets messy but that’s coming next week, I hope to show  you a video of how they react in water and they’re all natural. The sea air makes it difficult to create a bomb so I applied for a license to fizz instead. It is quite extraordinary…

Belleva Gift boxes start from £12. Wax Melt boxes Start from £8. We can deliver locally or why not pick up and mix from Belleva – sample the scent before you make a purchase! And here’s the Sea Spray Hand Poured Soap at Belleva. All our products are 100% cruelty free, eco friendly and bio-degradable.

Anyway, time to potter.

Got some girls here going to the Pride Ball tonight. They’re dressing up later and asked me to photograph them. I bet it will be F.A.B.

Belleva by Jane in conjunction with Stay Blackpool – Gorgeous People in Blackpool. I am proud of Me!

I must add, the previous owners had already replaced the boarded window. I bought it before it went to auction by auction terms. I landed right in the middle of a ‘proverbial’ hornets nest on St Chad’s Road. I want to thank my sons, Dad, Mum, Danielle, Ryan, Gee, Colin, MJ, Peter and Paul, plus everyone else who got involved who didn’t rip me off or pinch anything. The real launch will be next year when it’s finished, if I am still living in Blackpool. Nothing’s permanent in my world, apart for love and that comes first always. Thank You Bae. X
