It only seems like a month ago that we were handing out Hot Chocolates On a Stick to Katie and Elle in celebration of our 500th follower. But as we approach another follower milestone on Twitter, we’d like to continue our tradition and reward the 600th follower – and the person that refers them to us – with something nice. This month it’s one of my personal favourites and one of our most popular products. The Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil from Burt’s Bees.
Burt’s Bees Natural Pomegranate lip balm contains 100% natural ingredients for a truly moisturising experience. Replenishing and conditioning, this beautiful balm contains rich oils to help your lips look healthy and hydrated.

We have a new range of locally produced artisan chocolate arriving this week. Choc-Affair are based in York and produce a specialist Fairtrade chocolate. We have many valentines chocolates starting from just 99p plus all year round treats. The half kilo slabs are one of my favourite as well as the chocolate numbers and letters, brilliant birthday present ideas.
Choc-affair is not a large corporate business, disguising itself as an artisan chocolate maker with green ideals. We are what we say we are, and our ethics matter to us.
We are a small family firm that makes and packs everything by hand, and we only ever work with certified Fairtrade chocolate courveture. We try, wherever possible to re use all that we can, so paper is used through both sides on the printer for in house printing, and all scraps of chocolate are eaten, never thrown away!! This way Linda can insist her weight gain is all for a good cause for the planet!

Yes we can’t believe it either… it’s been a year since we first opened our doors in Leeds! In a very difficult economic climate many people thought we were mad opening what we see as a local/fresh foods/deli/natural bodycare/health food store – I don’t know what to call us really?! But with the support from the Leeds locals our first year has flown by. To thank you in helping us in this busy year we would like to invite you to our first birthday party!
Venue: Millies Fresh and Organic, 109 Vicar Lane, Leeds, LS1 6PJ (map).
Date and Time: Thursday 17th December 4pm – 7pm.
We will be drawing a raffle on the evening with the prize being a Millies Hamper. Tickets will be sold all week in store and the money raised will be going to the Breast Cancer Haven.
We will also be offering a 10% discount on all hampers either purchased or ordered on the night and every visitor will also receive a free gift bag on arrival.
Our new local farmers Dean and Angela Hullah from Tancred Farm, Whixley will be there to answer any questions you have on who they are, about their animals and how they run their farm.
Mark Boland, Solgar’s nutritional adviser will be on hand to give out advice on how to beat the winter colds or any other aliments you may have.
Beauty expert Becki, representative for Jasons, Giovanni and Elysambre make up will be promoting those last minute Christmas ideas for all the family!
And of course I’m sure there will be some birthday cake!
Natalie and family

We finally got to meet the lovely Katie from Leeds Grub in person when she called round to collect a hamper we had made up for her. She requested a Yorkshire themed hamper with lots of goodies in and blogged about it on her site:
Millies stock a great selection of locally produced gourmet items such as cheese, fresh bread and preserves. They also make delicious home made cakes, mince pies and biscuits. As well as range of pre made Christmas hampers, they will also for a small fee package up any purchases in a lovely presentation basket.
This huge Yorkshire themed hamper put together for me by Millies came to just £50 and contained the following: 2 jars of Bracken Hill chutney, 2 truckles of Yorkshire cheese, soup, chocolate, porcini mushroom crackers, home made mince pies, ginger biscuits and fruit cake, fresh bread, Yorkshire Tea, Taylors Christmas Coffee, a Christmas pudding, a bar of natural soap, mulled wine spice, and a bottle of Yorkshire punch.
We have a range of hampers to suit everyone on any budget, including fine food hampers, made to order cheese hampers and bodycare hampers. All can be made up for you or personalised. Please view our our Christmas Gift Hamper pages for more information.
