The real value of family - Surcare Survey Results


This makes me smile, that people choose family time together as a good way to spend time, its one of my most precious gifts in life and I cherish it.
We are all running about so often I have liked the chance to be with each other over the two much need Bank Holidays. Another one coming in three weeks yipee!!

 
We might bicker, wind each other up and wear each other out, but a survey conducted by Surcare, the perfume and dye free laundry range, has revealed that spending time with family is our favourite way to make us smile.*

More than a quarter of Brits voted their family as their top reason to be cheerful. A further 29% of us described a perfect day as one spent with family, in comparison with just 8% choosing to spend it with friends.

However, when it comes to needing a quick pick-me-up when feeling blue, the nurturing effect of family shared the top spot with a chocolate hit!

As well as family and chocolate, sunshine and fresh air are also cited as happiness boosts with a fifth revealing that sunshine is our favourite free reason to be cheerful. And perhaps we’re more active than we’re given credit for, with almost a quarter of us saying that a walk in the country would be a favourite way to pass a day.

And if we had a genie in a bottle to grant us a single wish, we’re not as shallow as one might imagine. The survey showed that wealth, careers and good looks are swept aside in favour of happiness and health. 34% of us would wish for happiness above all else, whilst 29% of us would wish for good health.

Hayley Blackwell, Surcare brand manager, comments; “Brits are not renowned for being overly family orientated, especially compared to some of our European counterparts, but when it comes to making us happy the company and support our families give, ranks way above anything else.”

The experts at Surcare know all about keeping skin happy. Their products have perhaps been the best kept secret of the laundry world, but have long been revered by families with skin problems.

All Surcare products are free from perfumes and dyes. And, that’s not all, they have all have been dermatologically tested and approved so are always gentle on skin.
