Hello,

🎒 Back to School: Reclaiming Your Weekends

Isn't it funny how we approach the summer holidays? Six weeks of juggling childcare and work is undeniably exhausting, yet the moment the kids are back at the school gates, the house suddenly feels too quiet and we find ourselves missing them.

With the return to the school routine, our precious family time is drastically reduced. Those few hours on a weekend become incredibly valuable—so why spend them chained to the washing machine or standing over a hot ironing board?

Let me take the laundry off your hands so you can focus on spending that reclaimed time where it actually matters.

💡 Pressed & Fresh Tip: The Indoor Drying Trap

When the rain forces us to dry clothes indoors, it’s highly tempting to drape wet items directly over hot radiators to speed up the process.

• The Condensation Risk: Drying wet clothes on radiators releases a massive amount of moisture into the air, creating condensation that leads directly to damp and mould in your home.
• Fabric Damage: Direct, intense heat can warp the elasticity in your garments and leave standard cottons feeling stiff and brittle.
• The Solution: If your indoor airers are overflowing and the damp smell is starting to linger, don't risk your home's air quality. Our commercial extractors and precision temperature-controlled dryers are designed to properly care for your fabrics while keeping the humidity out of your living room!

Arcade Skincare 🌿

As someone who spends half my working week surrounded by intense industrial steam, I have to be incredibly careful to look after my skin—otherwise, I'd end up looking like a complete prune! That is why I want to shine a light on Arcade Skincare. Like us, they are a small, family-run business based right here in Newport's historic Market Arcade.

What truly stands out to me is how perfectly their ethos aligns with our sustainability efforts at Pressed & Fresh Ltd. They are dedicated to natural, vegan skincare with ethically sourced ingredients. Their resident biochemist, Mike, crafts formulations entirely free from palm oil, artificial fragrances, and harsh synthetic preservatives—leaving only what is genuinely skin-loving and non-irritating.

They even go as far as ensuring all their packaging is completely plastic-free, right down to the biodegradable plant-based labels! Not only are their products phenomenal for protecting your skin, but visiting their shop is a genuinely transparent and educational experience. I highly recommend popping in to see Mike, Sioux, Alex, and Emma to support a fantastic local business.

Fratelli Newport 🍝

If you are looking for somewhere fantastic to eat this weekend, I can't recommend Fratelli Newport highly enough. The Pressed & Fresh team and I have just booked our very first official team event there. I haven't been in a little while, but I have never had a bad meal there and we are all eagerly counting down the days until we can get stuck in!
