It is great to have support from Theo because it’s been tough trying to make, market and raise my profile by myself. Theo has recognised my hard work and helped spread the word about what I do to his following. I had to show my enthusiasm about my business to Theo, explaining how we are an eco-friendly minded business making natural soaps and skin care, using only pure oils, butters, essential oils and botanicals. With no palm oil, SLS or other hidden nasties”

My vision is that everyone who has ever won an #SBS re-tweet from me becomes part of a friendly club; like-minded individuals who can share successes and learnings. The website will also give a valuable profile to the winners chosen and I wish Georgie & Holly every success.”
