Thurlby Herb Farm - Deluxe Clothing Protector Fragrance Block

In the old days people put moth balls in their wardrobe to prevent insects specifically moths from chewing their clothes.  These moth balls don't smell great and are not pretty at all, in fact, if you have a choice, you probably do not want them in your wardrobe with your beautiful clothes and gear.

The most amazing part though is they can last a long time, so make a fantastic value for money product for home use.

Also this beautiful fragrance block has sandalwood properties which helps to improve memory and induces concentration, at the same time keep the brains cool, relaxed and also from undue stress and anxiety.

Hence, Dainty Belle is so excited to have on range this year for Christmas - Thurlby Herb Farm's lovely handmade "Scents of Christmas".  This will make a wonderful gift - you can hang it on the tree or slip it in a gift pack and enjoy the exquisite scents of Christmas.

Also, a little tip to share is cinnamon one of the key ingredient in the fragrant block is one of the oldest known spices.  Besides using it for cooking, it is known to have health benefits and also believed to improve energy, vitality and circulation.

There was a fun study where researchers found that a good whiff of cinnamon can improve your brain function and the subjects did better on memory and attention tasks as opposed to other odors or no odor.


Now, isn't this cute gift a great stocking filler for your loved ones for Christmas this year.

Out with the old and in with the new


Good quality bath and body products can be expensive, and it is very tempting to hang onto to your favourite products until every last bit is gone.

It can be your handcream, body lotion or moisturiser that we can't bear to throw away. However if you think about what could be growing in there and getting into your mouth or eyes. Imagine the horror!

So what's the solution, go through your m akeup drawer or bag each season (best time is now), just like you go through your closet, and discard any eye or lip products that you have not used within the last three months. If you need help remembering when you've opened a new product, keep a pen handy and write the date on the package.

So get into action now and its out with the old and time to do some shopping of new products for the summer season!
