Rachel Noble runs the Noble Apothecary, a holistic skincare brand based from her home apothecary here in Manchester. This is the final episode of Create Shift season 2, and what a wonderful interview to end it on. Rachel and I discuss her journey from beauty blogger to lover of skincare simplicity and creating the Noble Apothecary. But really this is a holistic conversation, about how what we choose to put on our bodies and a simple skincare routine is one piece of the whole of holistic living. I loved chatting to Rachel, she’s so generous with what she shares and is extremely honest and open. I hope that you’ll enjoy listening to this conversation as much as I enjoyed recording it.
