Given the tiny size of our capsules, you can see why we felt it appropriate. We’ve probably witnessed most spelt...

For many of us, back to school means back to the morning rush, the stress of making sure they’ve done their homework, and dealing with the mountain of school uniform in the laundry pile.  Here at smol, we understand how hectic the start of a new school year can be, and whilst we can’t help with their homework, we can help with their school uniforms! So we’ve put together a list of the most common schoolyard stains, and how to get rid of them! Grass- soak...
