Over on Dollymix they tend to round off the week with a nice cocktail, so I thought I'd adopt the idea for Hippyshopper (only without the alcohol and with less sophistication). Yes, 'kids', it's a milkshake.
But it's no ordinary milkshake. Clipper's range of instant, thick and creamy milkshakes are made from 100% organic ingredients with no artificial flavours or colours. You can get the whole mouthwatering range online, for £2.49 a pack. Just don't go spoiling it with the wrong sort of milk!
If you want an even more natural Friday treat, read on for some delicious milkshake recipes.

Mulled wine is one of the best things about Christmas in my book *hic* and the Black Cat site is a fittingly charming place to buy scrumptious organic mulling spices.
Based in West Sussex, Black Cat is a one-woman business owned by Austrian-born Catherine Kubillus, whose mother taught her the secrets of spicing hot wine and gingerbread. She also sells the gingerbread making kit complete with cookie-cutters as well as all the spices you'll need here. Everything you'll find here is organic.
Natural Collection may be good as gold when it comes to ethical credentials, but they want to tempt you over to the dark side with this scrummy organic Chocolate Covered Ginger by the Chocolate Alchemist - it's pure, organic chunks of crystallised sweet root ginger generously covered in delicious dark organic chocolate.
It's about this time of year that one of our biggest shopping challenges comes into view: the winter coat. Finding such a garment poses all kinds of dilemmas; do you forgo style in favour of warmth, sustainability for value or throw caution to the wind an shell out on something that ticks all of these boxes at once? Let's face it, it's going to be a long winter, so you'll need to be sure you make the right choice. And the recently-launched range from the Organic Coat Company from Pardess seems to get the balance just about right.

It may be a little early to start thinking about Christmas, but the London & Scottish International have got me all excited about Christmas parties (or any Friday night for that matter). And the reason why? Their award winning organic spirits.
Top of the bunch is the classic Juniper Green Gin. This smooth-as-can-be gin is made with delicate herbs, including juniper and coriander seeds, for a taste that is so pure and clean that only the finest of mixers (if you must) will do. I recommend sweetener-free Fever Tree Tonic.
For a gold star vodka martini (or bloody mary), get your hands on their UK5 vodka. It doesn’t leave you with any icy harshness in the back of your mouth - instead it’s gently but perfectly potent.
Both drinks are made from organic grain, natural yeast, and fermented the old fashioned way without any chemical enhancers, glycerol or carbon filtering.

They may not be widely available (just yet), but Goodkaarma's soaps are like washing with the very raw ingredients of the natural world. Each bar is handmade in Estonia using organic cold pressed oils, fats (think extra virgin olive oil) and organic herbs, spices, petals, fruits and sea mud.

Love food, love skin care? If so, give three cheers for The Skin Deli. All products are based on 100% natural, organic foods and plants such as avocado and grape seed oils and shea and carrot butters. With such wholesome ingredients, The Skin Deli’s face oils, body oils and pomades (body and face balms) are wonderfully nutritious for all skin types and conditions. But this is no lentils and brown rice range of skin care - each product is beautifully, subtly scented with essential oils and divided up into three delectable menus. Choose between Banquet (for skin that needs to be nourished), Gourmet (the luxury range for mature skin) and Délice (for problem and sensitive skin).
And with no unnecessary packaging (all products are sold in glass jars), synthetic preservatives, perfumes, stabilisers, colourings, petrochemicals or animal products, The Skin Deli is as kind to the environment as it is to your skin.
