Lather & Dab

05/01/2026

Good morning, everyone!
I hope you’ve all had a restful and joyful festive break.

As I mentioned before, Lather & Dab is now winding down to give me the space to slow down and focus on my well-being. With that in mind, I’d love for you to join me at my new little Facebook haven: Jane's Hearth Haven

A cosy corner for mindful crafting, wellbeing, and giving back to charity — I can’t wait to continue this creative journey with you there!

Good morning
How is everyone?

I've not been online much, but I have been keeping busy.

These will be posted out today, and together, they make a great Christmas gift, don't they, especially whilst they are all half price!

So, who's still got gifts to find?

Me ✋️

Good morning
oh it's a little cold out there this morning. But I combined dropping off another order with walking the little furball.

Back with a nice hot coffee now, before heading back out to a GP appointment.

What is the day looking like for you?

Hi guys
Sorry I'm so absent at the moment. I am keeping busy in the background but also taking time each day to slow down with Rufus cuddles. Anyway, as all my Lather & Dab products are now half price I thought I'd pop on a few reminders as why individual products make a lovely gift idea and now being half price they really are worth snagging before they are all gone.

So let's take a look at this one :
The Hornet Shave Cream, crafted with Sweet Orange and Rosemary essential oils. The invigorating scent of this one energises, while coconut and jojoba oils deeply moisturise and protect for a smooth, comfortable shave every time.

This rich cream softens hair to reduce nicks and cuts, making it ideal for even the most sensitive skin.
A sweet herbaceous aroma that is always popular with our female users.

I will pop a link in the comments for you to go take a closer look :)

Good morning,
Thank you so much for all your support with the changes I will be making.

All Lather & Dab items are now 50% off (plus postage) over in the shop.
This includes beard care, shaving goodies, and a few bits that have only one or two left on the shelf.

Once they’ve gone, they’re gone for now – I won’t be restocking immediately, so if there’s something you’ve had your eye on, now’s a good time to grab it.

Have a browse, see what calls to you, and feel free to message if you’d like help choosing a scent or matching items together.

Today, we pause.

We remember the courage, the sacrifice, and the lives forever changed by conflict.

At 11am, everything stills — a quiet moment to honour those who served, those who never came home, and those who carry their memories forward.

Remembrance isn’t just about the past. It’s about choosing empathy, peace, and understanding in how we live now.

We remember so we do not forget.
❤️

Good morning
I’ve been taking some time to think about what’s manageable for me and what feels meaningful right now. With my health being a bit up and down, I want my creating to be something that supports my wellbeing rather than pushes it. So I’m reshaping what I do here.

I’ll still be creating and sharing items for sale, but I won’t be limiting myself to just sublimation or cosmetics.

• Lather & Dab products will still be available, but they’ll now be made to order rather than pre-stocked.
• LD Sublimations custom design work will carry on as usual, just on a more flexible timescale.

Alongside those made to order pieces, I’ll be creating a range of different things, working at a pace that suits my energy and health at the time. The difference going forward is that all profits from the rebranded page will be going to charity. Many of us use crafting as a form of therapy, so using that process to also support others feels right.

There won’t be strict timescales or fast turnaround promises. I’ll be working gently and steadily, when I’m able, and I’m truly grateful to anyone who is happy to support that slower, more mindful pace.

A brand-new page will be launching in the new year to begin this chapter fully and truly hope you will join me on that new path.

Until then, I’m here as normal and happy to answer any questions about the upcoming rebrand.

Good morning,
I’m having a bit of a clear out so while stock lasts, let’s have a few flash sales: 50% off. Was £12.50 — now £6.25 (plus postage).

There’s something about a fresh, woodsy scent that just feels right when the weather turns cooler. The Forager Beard Balm is one of those blends that feels a bit like stepping outside into the trees.

This one won’t be restocked, and we’re down to the last few jars now, so if you’ve had your eye on it, this is a good moment to pick one up. It also makes a lovely small gift for someone who enjoys their grooming routine, or even as part of a stocking filler bundle.

I will pop a link in the comments for you to nab one but be quick!

Happy to answer any questions about blends or scent notes.

💬 A Little Life Update

I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately, and I wanted to share why.

A lot of you already know I’ve been managing osteoarthritis for quite a few years now. Over the last year or so though, things have changed quite a bit with my health, and last week I finally got some answers — fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME).

It’s honestly a bit of a mixed feeling… relief to finally understand what’s been going on, but also a reminder that I need to slow down and listen to my body more than I have been.

So for now, both sides of the business are still running as normal — the shop’s open, messages and custom orders are still being handled — but you might find I’m a little quieter online while I work out what balance and direction feel right going forward.

Thank you so much for sticking around and being so understanding — it really does mean the world. 💛

Good morning

When it comes to scent, balance is everything.
That’s why our Jack of All Trades range skips essential oils — creating a neutral, reliable base for whatever you choose to layer on top.

Maybe you have a favourite cologne, or you just like your aftershave to take centre stage. Or perhaps you prefer a completely natural, scent-free routine.

An unscented blend gives you the freedom to choose.
It supports your routine quietly — adding comfort, care, and smooth application without competing with your chosen fragrance.

Because every great layer needs a good base.

💬 Do you keep your grooming routine simple, or do you like to mix in your favourite scents?
