Holly Spierings - Eye of Horus

What are your top 3 tips for success? 
Set clear goals, understand what you want to achieve, I would emphasise the importance of relationships with other businesses and individuals.  Seek out opportunities and connecting with others who share your values and mission. Always stay true to your vision and original mission and listen to your intuition

Lucy Vincent - Sans Ceuticals                 

What are your top 3 tips for success? 
Be curious not defensive. Genuinely trying to understand how something has come to be, and treating every experience as a lesson, gets much better results – both in business and life. I’ve come to learn that challenging times are essential for excellence, and not to fear them. As you get older or more experienced in business, you learn that challenges will always come and you can get through them. The fear in itself is what can paralyse you and create unnecessary stress. When you have the confidence of knowing that you can deal with challenges, the intense feelings of stress fade away and you can deal with what’s in front of you. 

What are your personal favorite products at Sans?  
Activator 7 Body + Hair + Face Oil is my favourite product, without a doubt. It does everything! It’s a super serum that packs a punch with high concentrations of Vitamin A. I put a few drops in my face cream at night for an added boost, use it on the ends of my hair as a smoothing and hydrating serum, I shave my legs with it, remove my eye make-up (when I remember) and also use it post-shower as an amazing body oil.

Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield.

Sonya Driver - Eco Tan 

What are your top 3 tips for succes? 
1. Check your motivation, do everything with intergrity, never have a plan b.
2. Always put your heart and soul into everything, even when you fail every day keep moving forward. 
3. Trust your gut. 

What are your personal favorite products at Eco Tan?
Hard to choose as it's like choosing your favourite child and they all complement each other. Some standouts for me are: Super Citrus Cleanser, Super Acai Exfoliator, Face Tan Water, Glory Oil, and Serum of Clear is my ride or die.
