New blog - how exciting!!

Gosh, here I am being all technical. Well actually here I am asking my husband to show me how to be technical. My hubbie, Mark is our resident techie and put together this blog and also our website with the webshop. It's all new to me but it is all really exciting.
Isn't it amazing - our very first order on the website actually came from Amsterdam! I really love our little shop and we have a real community feel to the shop, and it's lovely to think that we can be involved in people's lives and can make a real difference. I love the fact that, not only do we have the fab therapists upstairs for when you need particular support, but also that we can provide the resources so that you can look after yourselves on a day to day basis. Now though, we can expand that out and do our bit over a bigger area.

As this is my first blog I would like to do a bit of an oscar speech, if that's OK. I would really like to say thank you to everyone who has given both me and the shop their support in the last year since I took over the shop. It has been a bit of a rollercoaster because, if you know me you'll know, I haven't had any experience of running a business before and between that and the kids it's been pretty full on. We have taken on a great bunch of therapists this year, including Claire Yuill who is our physio and also a clinical pilates instructor and Sandry Koo, our acupuncturist. The list is really long and if you have a mo it would be worth having a look to see who we have now - it's all on the website.
And, of course, what can I say about Laura and Dandy - fabulous girls, I don't know what I would do without them. When I started we had seven staff, all doing crazy hours and it kinda felt like you never saw the same person twice. Now we have me and the two superstars running the whole ship and they are doing a great job - I hope it feels that it's a bit more consistent and things are more organised now, it certainly does to me.
Thats loads for tonight, and there is loads more that I wanted to say but I'll do it gradually over the next few weeks. I'm planning to let you know what's going on in the shop, what's gonna happen, new products and also things like recipes, advice on different conditions and articles on different vitamins and remedies. Also I was planning to just have a chat about what's going on generally in health food, shoreham and life, the universe and everything.
If there is something you want me to talk about then get in touch at contactus@vitsnpieces.com and I will see what I can do. Hope you enjoy!
