I love that I can help so many people with my aromatherapy essential oil blends, skincare and bodycare products through the online shop. I have customers across Ireland, the UK and beyond. Selling at markets is its own special experience. Firstly, I get to meet some lovely people!
They come up to my stall curious and we get chatting. Then they mention their dermatitis, difficulties sleeping or wanting to shop more sustainably. I’m able to give them personal recommendations for products that will help them feel good about all three – the appearance and feel of their skin, their sleep and wellbeing, and the ingredients in their products.
As November and December are the Christmas market season, there are plenty of opportunities to shop Esker Fields in person and tap into my knowledge of essential oils, natural skincare and managing stress and wellbeing before the end of the year. Can you stop by the Esker Fields stall at any of the following markets?
