Summer Citrus

Erin has recently been spending some creative time in her manufacturing rooms, and has come up with some beautiful uplifting citrus blends that we can use to tailor your usual products for summer.

Have a look on our website at our standard product range, and when you call or submit an order online, be sure to advise us that you'd like your products to come in the summer citrus range. You'll be thrilled with the results! 

Oil of the Month - May Chang (Litsea Cubeba)

To all of our lovely followers, thank you for bearing with us whilst we have been going through our period of transition.

Starting from this month, we are going to be highlighting our "oil of the month". To kick us off, this month, we are writing about May Chang (litsea cubeba).

Litsea Cubeba is Erin's favourite of all of the essential oils.

She believes this to be a savoir for modern day living. In our fast paced, sleep deprived world with too much stimulation causing fatigue, lack of mental clarity and anxiety, this is a must use oil. Known as the Oil of Tranquility,  it is a stimulating, uplifting, refreshing oil that calms body and mind.  It has a tonic effect on the nervous system which eases symptoms of stress such as anxiety, confusion, inability to concentrate and fatigue of the body.

As many essential oils have a great effect for reducing stress, we particularly love to use this oil when our minds and/or hearts are racing. It is a great oil to use in the work place every day, when you're feeling down, lethargic or uncomfortable.

As an added bonus, it elicits feelings of happiness with it's fresh happy scent, and even better, it's safe for use during pregnancy, and postpartum if you have the baby blues, to uplift and bring feelings of happiness.

Summer is on it's way!!

With the weather warming up, make sure your skin is primed and ready to show off.....
Exfoliate at least once a week and moisturise your whole body daily to ensure you are not scaly.

We don't want to scare the tourists!!

Hello Spring!!!

With the warmer weather upon us it’s time to update your skincare.

I recommend lighter facial moisturisers to get ready for summer.  I'm blending lots of light citrus oils for fresh, clean, summer skin.

Get yourself stocked up on all your body products now.  Again get some bright citrus body lotions or body butter.  I always have a wattleseed body scrub all year round.  But this year I have a pink grapefruit body scrub and a sea salt body scrub.  Great to get your legs and feet ready for exposure!

Lastly for today, a very good friend of mine has an obsession with smelling like summer all year round.  She loves the coconutty smell of reef oil.  And who doesn't think of summer days when we smell this!  So for the last couple of years I've been making her tubs of coconut body butter.  The coconut is a fragrant oil and not an essential oil.  So it’s not something I would usually promote on our website as such.  But I have had many requests from people who know her I thought, why not?

Keep your eye on the webpage, I’ll be adding this as a buy now later this week.

 Happy Spring!!!!

New Baby Products

As you will be aware from our previous blog posts, between us, Erin and I have children ranging in age from almost newborn to five years and Erin has worked really hard to develop a great range of kids products that we both use daily on our little ones.

Each of these products is designed to perform it's declared function gently (i.e., shampoo, conditioner, body wash, moisturiser etc), so as not to irritate newborn skin,but in addition, each product is soothing, calming and will assist with sleep and relaxation. These products also help with nappy rash, and can be tailored to assist with dry skin, eczema, cradle cap and so on, whatever is ailing your new addition. 

Try some of these products out on your little ones, and let us know what you think!! 

Baby wash for nappy rash

Sorry we haven't been in touch for a while......we have been busy juggling keeping up with our orders and looking after our families whilst the cold and flu season has taken over the central coast. Fortunately, thanks to Erin's cold and flu remedies, we have beaten these more easily than in previous years!!

Anyhow, onto the real topic of todays post. Nappy Rash!

Erin's new little boy is now six months old, and my daughter was one last week.

They are both just beginning to produce teeth, and of course, with that comes the dreaded nappy rash. Both Erin and I have used Natasha James products exclusively on our babies since they were born. We make a beautiful baby bath and shower gel which is delightful (and full of soothing essential oils that protect and heal), and for after the bath time, we have a wonderful all over body lotion. I have been using this for baby massage every night since my baby was a newborn, and not only does it keep her skin beautiful, but I am convinced the oils in it help her to sleep. This wonderful cream is also fabulous for nappy rash. Just add a little of the body lotion each time you change her nappy, and those sore patches will disappear.

Happy parenting!

Erin and Clare
