Feelgood December - The Olverum Story

In this episode of Feelgood December I'm getting to know the wonderful Dominic Hawksley who is the CEO of the utterly fabulous brand Olverum.Dominic tells us the story of how his family came about acquiring a truly magical bath oil and how this led to the shaking up of a brand that has become so loved that it was even granted a Royal Warrant this year.During our chat Dominic also talks about how he has widened the Olverum offering and the exacting standards, quality and thought that goes into every single product.Olverum is a feelgood brand if ever there was one and their bath oil is for me a true mood lifter and shifter.I'm so grateful to them for being a part of Feelgood December and am so excited to share their story with you.

Feelgood December: Nursem

I'm so excited to publish the first in a little series of very special episodes just for December.This month you'll be hearing from some amazing brands who have done some truly excellent things this year. They are brands who do so much more than sell products....they work hard to do serious good.I've got the wonderful co-founders of Nursem to get things going. For those of you who have never encountered this amazing brand, it's all started during the pandemic when nurse Antonia (who is the co-founder) found that her hands were raw and bleeding. She joined forces with her husband to create the most wonderful hand cream that made a huge difference not only to her hands but to the hands of hundreds of medical staff.The rest is history. The brand has grown and now encompasses other skin loving ingredients. And as you'll hear, for every product purchased, they gift a month's worth to nurses and midwives.What a brand and what a couple. Can't wait for you to get to know them!If you'd like 20% off at nursem.co.uk just use the code OUTSPOKEN.
