Cornwall SoapBox

Hello all, 

Hope you’re well. 

A few weeks ago we went to Cornwall and had a lovely time. 

One of the shops which I love down there is the Cornwall Soapbox Company. 

They sell lots of different items, not just soap. They do candles, room mists, body wash, bath salts… the list goes on. Their soaps are all handmade which is really nice. 

All of their packaging is nice and it is not too busy. I like this as it is a great gift to give someone. 

They have an online shop as well as their physical shops. 

The company also has an instagram account which they use to show you all their lovely products. 

One of our favourites is the bergamot, rosemary and lime aroma therapy foaming bath. I picked some up when we were down there. 

I don’t use candles myself as I find them too tricky. But I have bought them for others in the past. This year I saw that they have soaps which are available in the same scents as the candles. I knew I had to have them. They come in a variety of scents including lavender and festive pine. They come in boxes of 3 for £24. I can’t wait to try them. Click here for the link. 

Three spas in a gift box. The soaps have Christmas patterns on such as stars or snowflakes.

If you are looking for Christmas gifts I would absolutely consider Cornwall SoapBox as a great option for supporting small business.

Saint Ives

Hello all,

I am back. I was off for a while feeling unwell so writing took a back seat.

We have just come back from our holiday in Cornwall. We stayed in a new house this time. Whilst we were on holiday the weather wasn’t too great. But it is still Cornwall, which is lovely.

No matter what the weather the colours are always stunning. You get a lot of Artists in Cornwall, whether it’s Rowena Cade the creator of the stunning Minack Theatre or Barbara Hepworth, whose sculptures you may be familiar with if you have visited Cornwall or the Hepworth Museum in Wakefield.

Peering through two sets off rock the right side is higher than the left. The ocean cam be seen in the distance. The sky is cloudy. Shot in Black and White.

Saint Ives is full of artists and it’s an amazing place to draw, paint and just be. The lighting hits things differently in Cornwall. More specifically in Saint Ives. Even if it is raining the blues, green and greys from the ocean look tinted with silver as the light ascends on the town.

I really wish I could live there. Here are a few of the photo’s I took this last week. 

This is a photo looking out from the  headland. Peering between two rocks over the cliff. I think black and white photography can be quite intense as it shows more detailing.

The is high, the layer of rocks in front go out to meet there blue ocean. Harbour of Mousehole is in the distance, to the right side.

We went out to Mousehole to have some lunch at The Ship Inn. You can walk from a car park past the rocks around to the harbour. On Sunny days like this one the see glistens as it is struck by the sunlight. 

Being Visually Impaired I find photography to be more accessible to me, if I see something which I think I like I can just grab my phone or camera and just capture that moment.


In my blog I have tried to share a few other photos I have taken to share with you one of the things which I enjoy doing with my time.

We really enjoyed our holiday and we are looking forward to going back soon.
