BuzzTalk - Business

Recently, Ewa Jones visited our team in Basingstoke regarding her photography business and to talk about it

In her words, from her website - My husband gave me my first DSLR for my birthday in 2011 and since then, photography has been my passion. For our first holiday in Greece, I took the camera with me and never put it down!

Having started a family 2 years ago, my real passion has become family photography. It is always rewarding to see the happiest moments of family life, whether it be a Newborn shoot, maternity shoot, or just having fun with your family. With my photography, I aim to capture HAPPY moments for you to treasure for years to come.

One day I picked up an old family album from my mom's house, and I was amazed by how simple and natural the photos looked. As a result, I have decided that I would like to have the same photos! Photos that show real emotions, fun and life-loving people! My goal is to create an easy and FUN shoot for you. Then you are in the right place!

We had a wonderful chat with Chantal recently about her wonderful business, and it’s a lovely story, here's a bit of background behind the business.

There is no doubt to the many mental health and wellbeing benefits keeping and caring for houseplants can have. A recent study has shown that houseplants can bring a 37% reduction in tension and anxiety, a 58% reduction in depression and a 44% reduction in anger and hostility.

The Grow My Wellbeing plant bundles are unique, fun to get your hands on and gives you the ultimate mindful experience and connection with nature indoors. You won't get a pre-planted houseplant bundle when you purchase from us but instead, you will receive a magical, fun parcel which contains everything you need to connect with nature whilst planting your plant.

Lene is a primary school teacher, while she has been working mainly with Key Stage 1 students for 10 years. Teaching children has given me first-hand experience of the value of mark making.

The Little Learners program is a fantastic way to engage young children and develop their physical skills, such as core strength, coordination, and social skills.

It's also good for kid's writing skills if they are engaged in messy play sessions. Each week we practise a different shaped mark. As the children practise making marks, we can start to show them how to form letters and numbers. This is great for getting them ready for school!

Classes are mixed-age, with activities for babies through pre-schoolers. This makes them perfect for siblings.

Join Roger and Mandy at Cantine (its dogs barking so please excuse them!), where Robbie from Chimera has created a virtual world allowing people to not only see it but also interact with it. Students who are immersed in a subject are more motivated to learn it. Experiencing something is different from reading about it. VR allows them to explore a subject in-depth and see how things work rather than just reading about it.

In modern education, not much learning happens this way. It's a well-known fact that people learn best by doing. Instructions are read rather than used in practice, so students can become bored and disengaged.

If you would like more information, you can visit Chimera VR at https://www.chimera-vr.com/ or follow Chimera VR on Facebook.

Join us once again as we speak to Gary from Dogs N Homes Rescue Fleet, they've had a busy couple of months as Gary explains.

PLEASE NOTE – This was recorded in the Dog Friendly Café Cantine – so can be quite loud barking at times!!
