Lotions Potions & Wicks

Lost a peace of my heart this week when my Lily girl went over the rainbow bridge 🐾🌈 So a very quiet Monday Public Holiday popping on labels is about it for today.

No other words needed 💕

Essential Oils & Chemotherapy — Why Caution Matters 🛑

Natural doesn’t always mean safe… especially for cancer patients.

Whilst I was undergoing chemotherapy and radiation, I wanted completely natural products for my dry and burnt skin but knew that essential oils were out of the question. As there wasn’t much to choose from on the shelves, I got to creating some gentle skin remedy balms myself and made them strictly from plants with absolutely no essential oils. And here is why…

During chemotherapy the body can be very sensitive and some essential oils may interact with medications or affect how medicines are processed by the body. Certain oils can also cause skin irritation or other unwanted effects when someone is undergoing cancer treatment.
Because chemotherapy drugs and treatment plans vary it’s important not to use essential oils in any way without first checking with your oncologist. They know best!

Excited to have my products along with other small local handcrafted goodies at this amazing location. Head to the hills and pop in for a coffee 😊

I am lucky to have an abundance of mandarins right now which means I have lots of mandarin peels! Instead of throwing them out or putting in your compost why not make a natural cleaner for your home. It takes no effort at all. Tear the peels up and put them in a jar then top up with vinegar. As simple as that. Leave for 2 weeks then strain. Keep this as your master batch. Pour about an inch into a spray bottle and top up with water. Your home will smell so fresh. This jar is a week old but already smells amazing 😁🍃🍊
Did you know the peels have more Vitamin C than the actual fruit? Will I be making an ingestible remedy with these peels? You bet I will. Will share a few different ways for doing just that with you soon as I need some more supplies 🫢
