We came across the brand Happy Paul last August, in fact it was Hels who found it. Being a graphic designer her first reaction was this looks so cool, me - it looks a bit retro
with the : P.

But the more we researched the brand the more we knew it aligned with pause and refocus.

The founder Paul Gerrard lived with depression in his teens and spent some of his life looking for happiness in the wrong places. Over the years he experienced first-hand the power of formulations and how they could change your mood. Just think about how you feel when you’ve been to a spa.

And so mood-lifting self-care was born and is at the forefront of the Happy Paul name.

Happy Paul create award-winning, mood-lifting skincare and fragrance products. Developed to be a simple, joyful, you conscious, and environmentally responsible.

They believe in developing a happy body and a happy mind and everything they do is to make you smile because they know how infectious a smile can be.

Lucky for us we got to meet Paul and have a chat. He’s such a lovely family orientated man - everyone in his family is involved in Happy Paul one way or another, including his children’s friends. And what’s important to him is that some of their profits are donated to a mental-health charity called Young Minds.

When we met we said “Oh you’re Happy Paul” and he replied “We’ll I’m not Happy Paul, always” and isn’t this true of life, we can’t be happy all the time, this stuck with us.

We’re very proud to stock Happy Paul, which smells great and definitely lifts our mood first thing in the morning when we use the Body + Hair wash.

"To me, wellness is about looking after yourself, first and foremost, and that shouldn't be exclusive.” Paul Gerrard
