So when Maddie Ashbrook and her mum Stella came up with MOOand BOOM, a sustainable lifestyle and wellbeing shop in Whitchurch during lockdown, it was important to stand out from the crowd a little.
MOOand BOOM includes a cafe and also space for activities such as journalling workshops, creating your own skincare products or making driftwood wind chimes plus yoga and pilates classes Such experiences have helped bring success to the business in its fledgling years, having been born out of an idea during the pandemic.
The pair had a passion to launch a more eco-friendly lifestyle business, which inspired MOOand BOOM, focusing around the wellbeing of people as well as the environment. Maddie signed the lease for the shop, in Green End, Whitchurch, on her 21st birthday.
