Ashleigh's Story
Dear friend:
I left school at 16, I wasn't very good in the classroom environment. We didn't know then but we do now that I'm on the spectrum. I went to college to do hair and worked in a salon for a couple of years.
I started working in the elderly home as a carer. It was really hard going on my back. I loved my job but the toll got extreme. I would have weeks and then months off at a time. The doctors prescribed me lots of meds first for the pain then the depression. Life was just horrible I couldn't see my way out I had basically given up.
Thomas was informed about CBD and we watched some videos did some research. We managed to get our hands on some CBD oil from a website in Holland. And my mood my sleep my pain started easing almost instantly. My body felt more rested and less inflamed and a lot less pain.
Things started to look up. I got my drivers licence and Thomas suggested I get a hobby.
So I started using the very thing that helped me get better. I thought hmmm what can I make with this. I love oils and balms, why not make my own. So I did and wow it helped clear my skin. We started using it for everything; bruises, dry sore feet, sore body parts, even make up remover.
Our family and friends started using it religiously and using it on their kids. We started to take it to stalls and Thomas stocked our body butter in his shop.
The local bowling club started coming in to buy it for sore knees and our oldest customer, nearly 100, has been with us since the start.
She hates using medicine for pain but swears by our body butter and she buys 3 at a time. We have also been lucky to have beautiful celebrities like Gail Porter and Maya Jama using our body butter.
My body butter has also seen me through some sad times. My dad passed away in 2019 and we used our body butter on dad when we as a family were giving him palliative care.
We made sure dad was comfortable, well cared for, and his skin was nourished right to the end. He used to shave then put our body butter on his face. He used to say the feeling was so relaxing and very hydrating. Makes me proud.
Thomas and I had a baby in August 2025. I didn't think my back would manage to carry a baby, then to go through labour and go on to be a mum. I've managed all of this with using CBD.
And that brings us to now, our website nearly launching and a fully compliant CBD body butter ready to bring to the UK market.
