BeeBombs aka wildflower seed pellets are a fantastic gift or pick-up for this time of year! Chances are good that if you scatter them over some relatively bare soil anytime soon you'll be seeing poppies, cornflower and many other native wildflowers popping up as early as this summer!

I've used these for a couple of years on my allotment now and have always had lovely results, plenty of excitement and support for bees and other insects.

Available in the shop and online too https://www.mycarboncoach.co.uk/shop/p/beebombs-wild-flower-seed-bags

Looks like a great evening, basically the soundtrack to my teenage years 😅

The shop looked so lovely in the sun this morning 😍 my little bistro set out the front hasn't had much use in this cold but it's actually such a sun trap out there 😎 I do sell takeaway hot drinks so why not bring (or buy) your reusable cup next time you're in the shop.

I've also finally filled up the planters with some lovely violas and primroses to trick me into thinking spring is already here instead of another couple of months of cold!

Also I'd love to keep all the hearts in the window all year round, they are just so joyful!! 🩷

Buzzing to be returning to Taunton, Somerset not once, not twice but three times in 2023. Our 2022 event in Goodland Gardens was one of our highlights of the year 😁✨

All the event details are on our website and the Facebook events have been made. Check them out here:

Such an awesome Italian on Station Road 🍝 and really lush to see it full of people 😍

Brian Blessed is an absolute legend! Have you got tickets to see (or more accurately hear) him?

I know I'm late to the party but I finally got myself down to Boba Corner last week and it was amazing! My friend had the sparkling fruit option and loved it, I went for a regular fruity tea with popping boba and it was lush 🧋😍

It’s always at 💛

Did you know we have a day spa right in the middle of town? They also have a really cool offer on at the moment to start the year off right with some pampering 💆‍♀️💚

Buff Urban Day Spa Beauty, Hair, Nails, Tanning, Day Spa.

I missed this post in the busy run up to Christmas with my own business, but here's some details about the new Digital Innovation Centre that is being built at the top of Firepool opposite the new train station development! It's hopefully going to continue Taunton's trend of being a hub for digital creativity!

The Digital Innovation Centre under construction at Firepool, Taunton is coming along nicely. I have an inspection coming up and am happy to pose to the project team any questions you may have. Let me know.

Have you popped down to Calverts and checked out their January sale? It's on all month. I'm always so surprised when I go in just how huge the shop is, it seems to go on forever with some really lovely furniture and home decor!

What amazing looking food! I'm definitely booking a table this month 😋

The amazing colours and curls that are created at Yummy Mummy Hair & Beauty - Taunton always blow my mind!

Dough Bros. Turns one today!! To mark the occasion they are offering £1 doughnuts all day until they run out! They queue is off the scale already, head down there soon for amazing treats before they are all gone!

An amazing event happening at Flook House on Station Road today!

With so many amazing businesses in the Station Quarter we thought it would be great to start an ongoing series shining a spotlight on them, and what they do, from the owners and founders themselves.

Up first is Yummy Mummy Hair & Beauty, found at 84-86 Station Road, and I caught up with owner Kerry during the week…

Hi Kerry, please tell us about who you are, and what you do at Yummy Mummy?
Hi I’m Kerry and I have owned Yummy Mummy Hair and Beauty since 2015 and with over 24 years’ experience my bright and family friendly salon offers clients a unique experience, designed with the whole family in mind.
The salon has a fantastic team consisting of;
Kerry –Director
Katy & Emily – Senior Stylists
Anya-Graduate Stylist
Summer – 1st year apprentice
Grace our Saturday assistant
Cat ( Instagram – ) an independent beauty Therapist and Nail Tech extraordinaire!
We all have combined experience of over 70+ years within our industry.

That sounds great, the hair styles and cuts you post always look so amazing! How long have you been open?
We moved into station Quarter 5 years ago after needing to expand into bigger premises and have never looked back.

What’s your favourite thing about Taunton’s Station Quarter please?
What myself and the team love most about the area is its great links - a stone’s throw from the station, 5 min walk into the town centre, the cricket ground, Fire Pool, and an ever growing selection of independent business which we make plenty of use of ourselves and plenty of parking choices whilst you visit the area.
Station Quarter is a real genuine community consisting of hard working local independent business owners and their teams who all support each other.

I couldn’t agree more! Do you have any exciting news or events coming up you’d love to share?
We are looking forward to the festive period here at Yummy Mummy Hair and Beauty, look out for our Christmas themed windows coming soon!
Follow on our socials to keep up to date with our latest news, events and hair transformations!

Thanks so much for that Kerry, you and your team are brilliant, and yes we can’t wait to see your Christmas windows either, always a work of art!

Awesome to see Exempt Barber Lounge doing this for Movember. Men's health issues, from prostate cancer to mental health is a really big issue. Really lovely of the guys in there!

This year we have decided to create a team, to partner up with and try raise some money for mens mental health charities.

The team we have created will be growing our moustaches throughout November in aid of mens mental health.

As Barbers we are always here if you need someone to listen, and that’s why this charity is so important to our industry.

If you’d like to make a donation towards our £100 goal please click the link below.
