There are moments in business that make all the late nights and early mornings worthwhile – and winning at the 2025 Logan Chamber of Commerce Business Distinction Awards was one of those moments!
There are moments in business that make all the late nights, early mornings, and endless cups of tea worthwhile, and winning at the 2025 Logan Chamber of Commerce Business Distinction Awards was one of those moments.
BathCalm was named a joint winner in the Retail Category, alongside two fantastic local businesses, Dagood Letterboxes and Honeybutton House. To be recognised in this way, in such a competitive field, is both humbling and energising.
The evening wasn’t just about our own achievement, though. We were also proud to step up as a sponsor of the Beauty and Bridal Category, an area that speaks closely to our passion for self-care and ritual. Congratulations again to the winners, Nemy Beauty and Hedz Up Hair & Beauty – it was a joy to celebrate your success.
Beyond the trophies, what stood out most was the sense of community. Seeing so many friends, peers, and familiar faces – whether on stage, as finalists, or simply there to cheer us on – reminded us just how strong and supportive the Logan business community really is.
Why Awards Matter for Small Businesses
Awards nights may look like glittering celebrations, but for small businesses, the recognition goes much deeper. Here’s why they matter:
1. Recognition of Hard Work
- Running a small business is often a labour of love.
- Awards acknowledge the long hours, the risks, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
- For us at BathCalm, the award recognises the creativity, heart, and care we put into every product.
2. Building Credibility
- Awards act as a stamp of trust for customers.
- Being recognised by the Logan Chamber of Commerce signals to our community that we’re not just passionate; we’re also delivering results.
- For new customers, it helps answer the question: “Why choose you?”
3. Celebrating Local Business Connections
- Awards events highlight the strength and diversity of local industries.
- They bring together businesses of all shapes and sizes, from creative services to not-for-profits.
- They showcase collaboration, not just competition.
4. Motivation for the Future
- Recognition fuels fresh energy.
- It gives us even more drive to keep creating and sharing what we love.
- Awards remind us that growth isn’t just about sales – it’s about impact.
5. A Chance to Reflect and Refocus
- The application process itself is just as valuable as the award.
- It forces you to take a good, hard look at your business – digging into your figures, reviewing your strategy, and assessing what’s working (and what’s not).
- This kind of reflection is something we don’t always make time for in the daily rush, but it’s essential for growth and long-term sustainability.
A Night to Remember
The 2025 Logan Chamber of Commerce Business Distinction Awards were an inspiring and action-packed evening. The event showcased the best of our region’s businesses, and we felt privileged to be part of it.
Our Category Win: Retail
We were thrilled to share the Retail Category win with:
- Dagood Letterboxes – delivering beautifully crafted and practical letterboxes.
- Honeybutton House – a local florist bringing warmth and charm to the community.
To stand on the stage with such incredible peers was both humbling and exhilarating.
Our Sponsorship: Beauty & Bridal
Sponsoring the Beauty & Bridal Category was a joy for BathCalm, as beauty and self-care are so close to our own ethos. Congratulations to:
- Nemy Beauty
- Hedz Up Hair & Beauty
Both were named joint winners, and we couldn’t be happier to celebrate their achievements!
Celebrating All Finalists and Winners
One of the greatest joys of the night was seeing so many familiar faces as fellow finalists. We also caught up with friends who were there simply to cheer on the community.
The competition was genuinely tough. While we cheered loudly for those who took home trophies, our hearts also went out to the brilliant businesses who missed out this time. Every single finalist deserved recognition.
Congratulations to every single finalist and winner. You are all what makes Logan’s business community shine.
Another Milestone: BathCalm on Amazon
As if the awards weren’t enough excitement, the very next day brought another incredible milestone – our BathCalm listing went live on Amazon!
After months of paperwork, phone calls, checking, double checking, TRIPLE checking, busy production schedules and shipping queries, we are now officially listed on Amazon.
WHAT a journey – made possible thanks to Chris and Alex at Rosetta Brands, who discovered our beautiful BathCalm products and helped drive this forward. We could not have done it without you.
This means it’s now easier than ever for people to discover our shower bombs, bath relaxation kits, and everything they need to turn a simple rinse into a ritual. Whether it’s reaching for a loofah shower, indulging in a romantic bath kit, or dropping a single shower bomb into a steamy shower, BathCalm products are designed to transform the everyday into something extraordinary.
Raising a Glass to What’s Next
The awards and our Amazon launch arriving back-to-back have left us feeling proud, grateful, and ready for more.
These moments are reminders that small businesses thrive on persistence, community, and the willingness to keep showing up – even when the journey feels overwhelming.
For us, being a joint winner in the Retail Category, a sponsor of the Beauty & Bridal Category, and now officially an Amazon-listed business is an honour we’ll treasure.
Here’s to growth, collaboration, and local business excellence in 2025 and beyond!
