On Saturday 28th March, 2009 at 2pm I will making an appearance at The Vitality Show - the UK's largest health, beauty and wellbeing show - on the Spiezia Organics stand (Stand No. OP6). Spiezia are a Cornwall based organic beauty brand, producing 100 percent Soil Association certified organic beauty products. I am honoured that the brand asked me to pay a visit, so if you'd like to drop along and say hello or ask me any questions about conventional or organic beauty products, feel free! I will be handing out some leaflets about toxic chemicals in cosmetics and will give three signed copies of my book to Spiezia to raffle off. 

I will also be taking part in Spiezia's 'Made for Life' charity campaign for cancer sufferers, so keep your eyes peeled for updates.
