A YOUNG Scots businesswoman is cleaning up after her bathroom products were given the seal of approval by stars backstage at ScotFest.
Alana Taylor, 21, from Cumbernauld only began her online business washmestyleme.com six months ago, but she’s already providing her own brand toiletries as far afield as Dubai and Australia.
As well as selling known brand names at competitive prices, product developer Alana also lists her own products on her site.
In an enterprising move, she asked ScotFest organisers if she could gift some of her products to the celebrities who were backstage at the nostalgia music festival in Edinburgh at the weekend.
Artists including S Club, The Jacksons and Boyzone were playing the fest over the weekend.
Alana couldn’t believe it when East 17 and Liberty X both thanked her for her products and made a point of taking them away with them.
She said: “I’m hoping to make the site a brand that is on everyone’s lips and it’s great to receive the support from festival organisers like ScotFest.
“I couldn’t believe it when East 17 and Liberty X thanked me for the hand wash I’d developed with my family.
“It’s a long process to get products recognised in the toiletries market but this has definitely encouraged me to keep going with my company.”
