Nostara Notebook

Well, it’s all over for another year! We hope you all had a lovely Christmas with your loved ones. It sometimes feels that all the hype is over all too quickly but it’s one of the holidays when you make time for your family, and those nearest and dearest to you.

Love it or loathe it, it’s coming! We're in the 'love it' camp, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. But, one thing's for sure, if only due to time alone, our Christmas preps are a bit different this year. 

There'll be less cards written and more focus on keeping things simple. And, it’s not just us. There’s a whole movement of less waste and valuing what we have...

The new Nostara fragrance, Leather & Vetiver, has now been released! With its confident, masculine redolence, this fragrance is a darker addition tor collection. This scent will bring a sense of drama to any space, with its deep, musky undertones and powerful presence.

The fragrance features smokey vetiver and oud, with deep leather tones. Find out more about this enigmatic fragrance here... 

One of the questions we’re most asked by men? “When are you going to do a more manly one, then?” Keen to please our customers, we took up the challenge of creating a new fragrance that would appeal to all, with rich, darker undertones. 

We'll be launching this new release at our premium Country Store stockists, E J Churchill, in High Wycombe on Wednesday 16th October 2019. Fizz, canapés and new dresses? Check. Fabulous goody bags? Indeed they are! Find out more...

Where's the sun gone?

Never mind!

September is here we’ve all got that new term feeling! We’re watching all the #firstdayofschool pics appear online, but don’t think any of ours would pose any more!

Both our broods have managed to get the ‘key to the door’ to the next stage of their education. But Nostara (aka our new baby) is certainly keeping us busy. Find out why and see where we'll be in September...

We’ve met so many budding business owners, keen for some tips, that we thought a few pointers might be useful.

One key thing was our decision to go out networking. 

For you, this might be about connecting more with the playground mums, WI, book club or, as for us, a networking group. We explain the benefits here...

Well, what a month it’s been! We really have been on a high with lots of fabulous goings on…

We’ve had a run of fantastic fairs, an Award ceremony and loads of celebrations - find our more in our June entry in the Nostara Notebook... 

We're looking for Wombles! We’re off to Morden Park this Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday. It’s pretty near Wimbledon Common and so we’d like to think (with our 1970’s childhoods) that we might get to see some Wombles! 

Then, we're searching for wellbeing vibes at our next few fairs - check out where we'll be...
