Fusion Beauty

Beautiful walk in the New Forest this morning….. Amazing weather for October ☀️ . Plus a very happy Arlo jumping and running around.

The fungi is starting to come out and we spotted around 5 different ones on our walk.

This time ten years ago we had our first date. Never realising our paths had crossed so much……like we were meant to be together. 🥰

Celebrating our third wedding anniversary this month and ten years today.

We have been lucky enough to travel to 9 different countries together, go glacier trekking, kayaking in the mangrove, zip lining in the jungle, swim with turtles, visit the valley of the kings, volunteer on a turtle reserve, move house, survive lockdown, grow lots of veg & flowers, lots of DIY (still ongoing) welcome guinea pigs and our dog Arlo (who’s not so little anymore!).

Here’s to more memory making and seeing where the next adventure takes us…..

100 sleeps till Christmas……

It’s that time of year where Fusion Beauty starts thinking what to order for Christmas hampers and gifts.

If you have any ideas or any gifts/products you would like to see me sell again feel free to message me.

Gorgeous Dahlias in our garden…. Dahlia world as we call it is all planted and looked gorgeous for about 10days….. until guess what….. the foxes came. Not one, not two but three foxes and decided to have a party and break and dig up some of our dahlias 🙈. Check out the video on the next post I load up. I could cry.

I am so ‘foxed off’!

I really like foxes and these are cubs which are cute however they aren’t cute at 3-5am (caught on camera) digging up our bulbs, breaking plants and digging holes in the lawn and on top of all this they have eaten a bit of our garden furniture 🙈. Nothing is safe in the garden around foxes.

Most of our dahlias are from Gilberts Dahlias who are a great family run garden centre in Sherfield English. Worth a visit and they are very knowledgeable. Hopefully they know some tips on keeping foxes out.

Any top tips to keep the foxes away from our plants would be hugely grateful???!

Where does the time go….. This time 9 months ago we flew back from Costa Rica and not sure how to sum up our volunteering trip however it was incredible…… For anyone that has never volunteered abroad honestly go and do it! The best thing we have ever done and would do it again in a heartbeat.

From Turtle watching, collecting the hatchlings, measuring and releasing them into the sea. As well as the turtles we saw and monitored monkeys, bats and crocodiles to make sure they are all surviving in the wild.

We had butterfly duties from collecting their eggs, keeping an eye on the caterpillar stage right up to becoming a beautiful butterfly. Who knew butterflies are soooo messy when it was our cleaning day!

We were also lucky to spot an ant eater !

It really is hard to put into words this incredible trip, meeting fab staff, other volunteers and being at one with nature.

Food was delicious, breath taking scenery and no alarm needed as woken up by the howling monkeys.

A massive shout out to Vicky WorkingAbroad | Wildlife | Community for recommending this trip to our family and even going out of her way to check they can provide gluten free and another massive shout out to Sarah & team Reserva Playa Tortuga, Ojochal for looking after us and providing us with an amazing volunteering week and treating us like family.

We will return one day 😊

Gorgeous flowers off a gorgeous client. Really was so unexpected.

Such a lovely kind gift and so thoughtful. She said she wanted to as I’ve looked after her so well the past few months.

Thank you 🙏

New challenge for me today….. I walked 10 miles in one go (and in 30 degrees heat!). For Dave he had a warm up of 20 miles last week so was a walk in the park 🤣

I am really pleased I pushed myself as such an achievement. I normally only do 3-4 miles at a time. Mile 5 was hard up hill with steps and mile 9 that mile went for ages. Im sure the walk was nearly 11 miles! However with water, snacks and lunch provided by DofE it made the walk bearable.

If you see me walking funny no laughing!

The most organised event I’ve completed. All for an amazing cause to help to ensure that all young people, including those facing financial barriers and who need additional support, can have the same opportuntiy to participate in the life-changing awards scheme and transform their lives.

If you have a few spare pennies my link is in the comments to sponsor us.

Have you seen the new packaging for our powders…. So much easier to use than the old packaging.

Our powders contain no talc and are corn starch based which is better for the skin.

Tea tree & Lavender powder great for sweaty feet, after sports and making the skin soft. Smells really refreshing too. A great must-have for the beach to remove the sand!

Baby powder contains chamomile which is light and fine and perfect for baby’s delicate skin.

Have you tried them?
