What's Your Swap?

For this years Fairtrade Fortnight the theme is The Big Swap. For two whole weeks The Fairtrade Foundation is asking you to swap your usual stuff for Fairtrade stuff. Your usual bananas for Fairtrade bananas, your usual cotton socks for Fairtrade cotton socks, and your usual cuppa for a Fairtrade cuppa. This means that every time you go shopping, you can use your wallet to make a stand.

British Women are Turned on by an Aga!

British twenty to thirty something women fantasise about having an Aga.

We polled over 100 women and found 62% aged 25-35 years would love an Aga in their dream kitchen.

Top five kitchen fantasies:

1. Aga - 62%
2. An island - 20%
3. A Smeg fridge freezer - 11%
4. Wine Fridge - 4%
5. Magimix - 3%

93% of women aged 25-35 years also confessed to getting more enjoyment from spending an hour in their kitchen baking rather than climbing the career ladder or going to the gym.

Whilst women work hard in their careers and feel pressure to go to the gym, they secretly just enjoy spending time in their kitchen as a Nigella Lawson like goddess, creating scrumptious treats. A kitchen is the hub of any home and an Aga brings the family together to enjoy delicious home cooking.

Makeover for Sarah Smith Website

We have given the Sarah Smith website a makeover in time for Christmas. We have tried to make it pretty but, importantly, clear and simple to navigate which will hopefully improve your online experience with us.

If you are using the site and you experience any difficulties please do get in touch (info@sarah-smith.co.uk). I actively encourage you to play around with the site and try and break it so that we can correct any errors we haven't spotted.

Thanks in advance and I hope you like the changes we have made!

Sarah Smith Flower Power Non Scratch Scourer

As the original Flower Power Scourer proved such a hit, we have developed a non scratch version. Same procedure, we'd like you to test it for us first and give us some feedback. Email details to info@sarah-smith.co.uk to volunteer your services as a trialist. I have about 15 scourers so the first 15 emails I get will be selected for the trial. Thanks everyone
