Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus! Happy St. David’s Day!
“In Wales we’re celebrating what lies in our hearts,
On March 1st, parades and concerts – dance, sing and dress
in traditional welsh clothing now I’ll tell you the rest
Daffodils bloom as they did for Dewi
Let’s explore this box for St Davids, shall we?
Have you heard of the stories in the Mabinogion?
You’ll hear them this day – now pop your eye pads on
Warm, fresh bara brith, laverbread and welsh cakes are ready
So dig into these Welsh treats of which there are plenty!”
Poem by Elizabeth Mills, Lush Cardiff Store and Spa Manager

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus! Fresh Face Mask:
Gwnewch y pethau bychain (do the little things) to nourish your skin. With Welsh honey produced from wild blossoms in Newtown, Mid-Wales, and softening maple syrup, and soothing oats and barley that helps with skin elasticity.
Flowers:
Daffodils are a symbol of Wales’ natural beauty. Daffodils often bloom around March 1, St David’s Day, the national day of Wales. The Welsh word for daffodil is cenhinen Bedr, which translates to ‘Peter’s leek’. Please pop these straight into water when you receive them to perk them up again.
St David’s Daffodil Bubble Blower:
With Daffodils being the national flower of Wales, here is a cheerful bubble blower bubble bar, with palm free bubbles and You’ve been mangoed fragrance. Blow bubbles, and swish through the water for bubbles.
Bara Lawr cleansing roll:
A laverbread inspired soapless cleanser, with hydrating laver seaweed, leek with vitamin A to help reduce fine lines, and nourishing and hydrating irish moss gel and glycerine. Break off around half an inch, add a little water to make a paste, then apply to face with circular motions, and finally, rinse off with water.
Y Ddraig Goch (The Red Dragon)-eye pads:
Inspired by the tale of two dragons that that woke from their long sleep and began a ferocious battle. With hydrating rosewater, and soothing oat milk and carrageenan. Place these on closed eyes while relaxing with your face mask. Use only once.
Love Spoon Naked Hand Cream:
The shape taken from ornately carved spoons, traditionally made from a single piece of wood by young men as a love token for their sweethearts. And with ingredients inspired from Bara brith, a type of Welsh fruit loaf, which contains dried fruits and candied peel, soaked overnight in tea. Rub against warm skin, and rub in, with moisturising jojoba and cooca butter, soothing marigold and brightening orange zest and raisins.
