Q & A With Josh (aka The Boss)

Today we are celebrating the boss-mans birthday. In true Josh style, he has dragged his birthday out over a few weeks, with an overly extravagant party last weekend followed up by more celebrations this weekend for his actual birthday. Believe me when I tell you, we’re all going to need another break to recover and let our livers heal, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

We managed to corner Josh this week (in between drinks) and ask him about his fave Scrubba products for this weeks blog…

What are your top 3 products and why?

That’s like choosing your favourite child… which I will totally do because I definitely have favourites! Lol. One of our newest products has made it’s way into my top 3 and that’s the 24K Gold Face Serum! It feels SO nice and the gold is SO good for your skin. I’ve been using it every day since we made it. I feel like Cleopatra.

Sticking with the Cleopatra theme, I also can’t go past the Coconut & Rose Bath Milk. We still don’t have a bath at home but I’ll make sure I take this with me anytime we go to a hotel, or sometimes I’ll just sneak over to Mum’s house to use it. My skin feels incredible after it!

And, of course, the lip balms make it into my Top 3 also. I keep changing my favourite flavour between the Watermelon & the Toasted Coconut, but all of them are the absolute best!

What about ingredients. What do you love recommending to people?

Definitely Rosehip is up there. It just does everything for you. If you haven’t already, have a read of our blogs (I think we’re up to 3 different ones about Rosehip now). There’s nothing this oil can’t do.

Another one is coffee. Yes, it’s super messy, but so worth it. The oil in coffee is known to help a whole bunch of skin concerns like eczema, psoriasis, stretch marks. Plus it leaves your skin feeling unbelievably smooth.

What’s your go-to candle fragrance?

I’m so flippant with this. Vanilla & Caramel most of the time but then that makes me hungry, so it’s not great if I’m trying to be good with my eating. So then I’ll flip to the Coconut & Elderflower, which is a nice subtle scent, or Tobacco & Oak, which actually isn’t as gross as it sounds.

And, lastly, can you give us any inside goss on new things that might be happening this year?

Well, we already have a new, not-so-secret, range coming which is our Pulse Point Rollers. We added these to the shelves in-store just before Christmas but we’re still waiting on our packaging boxes to arrive before we “officially” launch them online. They’re so nice though! I’ve been using the Sleep roller every night and it works a dream.

Other than that, we also have new products coming for the Hey Hudson brand too… Shampoo Bars!! I’ve used these on my dog and also on myself and they’re sooo nice!

Plus we’re busy planning some new workshops with a twist, which we will be running as part of the Stars of Newcastle campaign, so all proceeds from these will be going straight to the Cancer Council.

Speaking of the Stars Of Newcastle, tell us a bit about it and how can everyone get involved?

Stars Of Newcastle is an initiative where Newcastle’s business owners and local personalities (aka Stars) light up the dance floor at the Civic Theatre with local dance teachers to raise funds for the Cancer Council. Think Dancing With The Stars… but more local & for a good cause.

I’m planning a couple of fundraisers between now and the big dance-off in June, so keep an eye out for those. In the meantime though, here is the link if you would like to donate to the cause.
