Please take a look at my first website built by own fair hand. I have used web expression but as i have been teaching myself as I go along w3schools.com and of course this site have been invaluable. I am in the process of seo at the moment
Thank you in advance

hi there - good looking site
In no order - My tupence worth would be to
look at the background colour as it makes the white text not so easy on the eye to read. I to tend to use white texts on my sites but with a stronger background. This is more prevelant on the quick shop page where the text is smaller.
On the flip side of that your hyper links are well in your face and stand out - perhaps to much
The purple text sits well on the screen
I feel on a sales side of things you could make more of an " exclusive - only on the net" type of hype
Where is it made?
Can I see it being made?
Can I get a small tester pot - I dont want to buy the whole thing?
The site has a eco friendly to it - what about the packaging?
I also feel that you are missing an oppertunity with you root page - without cramming it out it is an ideal way of pushing across the main statements of what you do. The SE's look for information and normaly you will build your back links on your root page ( to start with ) and then as it progresses deep link - In short you could do with more of your key emelents on the root page.
Hope this helps and let me know if I can help any furhter?
Best wishes

Well done for a first site. 
In addition to David's comments
Just a few observations;
The color theme flows nicely with one exception. You need more contrast between the greenish background and the white text. Like David, I had trouble reading it.
The images need to be optimized to a smaller file size, resulting in faster display time. A couple of the banner images are on the large size one over 200k and a couple others over 100k.
You can take care of the 2 code errors on the pages by removing the MS proprietary stuff in the opening html tag and replacing it with
Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-us" lang="en-us">
Again, nice job

Hi, I really liked the site. The colors are inviting and every page loaded very fast. I have found a great free site that checks your seo efforts, such as your meta tags, indexing, popularity, and so one. The site is rankingtoday.com and they have a seo tools page that has helped me check up on my sites. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the tip lejones304
Your site is very pretty and if you can tweak the colors to make it more readable, it is very appropriate for your products. It makes me feel like I'm at an outdoor spa.
To add a bit to what others had said (and it was pretty well covered so I'm probably just getting picky):
The words in the menu across the very top are not all spaced equally.
When I click on information and scroll down, the word stocklist is a bit messed up.
It's fantastic that you take Paypal, I know personally it gives me a sense of assurance to buy at a store that's not so well known as like Amazon.com (I'm in the US so I'm not sure if your products in general are new or just the site).
Under "About Us" all of your bullet points have exclamation points behind them except the word "quality".
You might want to add an integral contact form so people can type the info in right on your screen and submit their questions or comments. Personally I prefer that.
Good luck!
