A hydrating all over body moisturiser without the guilt of plastic waste, YES please! If you're like me, you've struggled to find a skincare product that's not only good for your skin but also good for the environment. But fret no more! My recipe uses wholesome ingredients like fractionated coconut oil, shea butter, beeswax, and is scented with essential oils for an aromatic experience.

And the best bit you only need 3 ingredients and they're easy to make in just a few simple steps. 

Making your own foaming hand wash offers a ton of benefits! By using natural ingredients, you can create a soap that is gentler on your skin, more hydrating, and free from harmful chemicals and synthetic fragrances. Plus, the ability to customise the soap to your liking. And let's not forget the added bonus of being more eco-friendly and cost-effective than buying pre-made soap. So, why not try making your own foaming hand wash today and experience all the amazing benefits for yourself?

Indulge in a royal beauty secret with a milk bath fit for a Pharaoh! Legend has it that the Egyptian queen herself used to bathe in milk to keep her skin velvety soft and smooth. If it's good enough for a queen, it's certainly good enough for you! Treat yourself to a luxurious and soothing self-care ritual by preparing a milk bath in advance, so you can immerse yourself in its nourishing embrace whenever you need a moment of relaxation and pampering. You deserve the royal treatment, after all! 👑🛀 

When you even so much of think of these little creatures your head itches. Nits, or head lice, are resilient little bugs now that school is in full swing, the risk of catching head lice increases. Most mainstream head lice treatments use harsh chemicals that not only damage healthy hair but expose the scalp to a range of toxins that can be harmful to our health. The good news? This natural option will help prevent nits, it smells great and will condition the hair at the same time.

Now that summer has come to an end, now is as good a time as ever to make the switch to a natural deodorant but first YOU MUST do a pit detox. Why you ask, when you decide it’s time to go all in, it’s smart to start off on the right foot to give yourself a good chance at a successful transition.

A pit detox works to naturally attract and absorb toxins such as heavy metals, helping to unblock sweat glands and reduce the chances of redness, rashes, and armpit odour, leaving your underarms fresh and clean.

Beeswax wraps are a sustainable alternative to plastic cling wrap, and a great way to reduce plastic waste in the kitchen. Even better, it’s incred...

Summer in Aus means salty hair but that can also result in endless knots and screaming kiddos 😬 Not fun, which is why I created this Conditioning Hair Detangler.

This is a tried and tested recipe that I use on my girls that leaves hair feeling silky smooth and smelling divine.

Unfortunately bugs and bug bites seem to go hand-in hand with warm, balmy weather, this bug bite balm is just what the doctor ordered for this time of year 🌅

This is a 2-in-1 goodie as you can apply is as a bug repellent AND to soothe existing bug bites once they occur.

The soothing properties also help prevent potential infections caused by scratching. 

Have you ever wondered what's really in those store-bought bath bombs that make your skin smell so sweet and feel so soft? Well, the truth is, they often contain a bunch of nasty chemicals like SLS, synthetic fragrances, and parabens that can do more harm than good.
