Fiore d’Oriente Incense

It's been a cold, wet Sunday and I'm sitting here burning incense while working on the website. Which is why I decided to have a second blog about this wonderful, unique incense.

I've always loved burning candles and incense but I'm also pretty picky about what I burn myself. I don't like scents that smell overly of perfume.  Fiore d'Oriente incense sticks are all natural and smell amazing.

Fiore d'Oriente is an Italian company that founded a partnership with a group of families in India that make traditional incense. They use raw materials such as honey, incense oils, spices and rare wood powders. 

The traditional practice of making the incense is over 400 years old and takes about 3 weeks to create.  The burn time is about 65 to 80 minutes however; our supplier burned and timed one at 1 hour and 9 minutes. That's quite a bit longer than regular incense sticks. 

Many companies selling incense are able to sell them cheaply because they use synthetic fragrances and petro-chemicals which reduce their product costs. So while they're cheaper and may smell nice they can't possibly be great for your home environment.  Which is why I love Fiore d'Oriente they're all natural.

Our Fiore d'Oriente incense sticks come in beautiful packaging including angels, fairies, chakras and reiki making them suitable for anyone. You'll find these wonderful incense sticks on our website with Free UK delivery.

Loose Leashes™ by Ron Schmidt

I'm a dog lover in fact we have a 10 month old Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Poppy. She's a rescue dog and training seems to take forever with her. She is constantly doing crazy things in the garden and the house and I'm always wishing I had my camera with me to catch those moments. Unfortunately, I'm sure even if I had the camera handy the image would be a blur because she's constantly moving. Here's one of the rare times I managed to get her standing still.

Ron Schmidt an American photographer seems to magically capture dogs and puppies in wonderful and funny images. Some of course are staged and how he manages to keep the dog still in a costume is beyond me however; they're truly adorable.

The Mountain® t-shirt company have licensed Ron Schmidt's wonderful images on their earth-friendly t-shirts. We have 15 designs from the Loose Leashes™ collection in our cat and dog t-shirts section we're sure you'll fall in love with. We've got bulldogs, Labradors, Jack Russells and other breeds too!
