Beaubrook Balms

When self employment meets volunteering. I’m sure many small business owners can relate at some point in their journey?

The three questions I keep coming back to:

🌱 What is the environmental cost?
AI requires enormous computing power and resources. Are we considering the impact behind the convenience?

🎨 What happens to creativity and copyright?
How do we honour the artists, writers and creators whose work has helped train these systems?

🔒 Where does privacy fit in?
What information are we handing over, and do we truly understand where it goes?

I don’t think the conversation is “AI good vs AI bad”.
I think the conversation is: how do we use powerful tools without losing the values that make us human?

Curious where you sit on this — is AI helping you, exhausting you, or a bit of both?

A little market special for this weekend 🌿✨

Purchase any of our tallow balms at the farmers market and you’ll receive 50% off one of our soy + tallow candles.

Choose from two natural scents:
🤍 Natural – completely fragrance-free.
🌸 Soft Bloom – delicately scented with pure essential oils.

No synthetic fragrances. No hidden nasties. Just simple, nourishing ingredients made with care here on the Darling Downs.

If you’ve been wanting to try one of our candles, this is the perfect time.

📍Find us at the Toowoomba Farmers Market this weekend. We’d love to see you!

My love for natural and low tox living didn’t start with tallow.

It started in the ’90s with Dad handing us warm carrot juice to start our day🥕😂

At the time, I thought it was completely normal. Looking back… maybe it wasn’t.

Growing up, our house was full of conversations about food, ingredients, gardens and taking care of our bodies. That curiosity stuck with me.

It is one of the reasons I co-founded a tallow skincare brand. Not because I think “natural” has to be perfect, but because I’ve always loved understanding where things come from, how that impacts the planet, and making things with intention.

Whether I’m painting pictures or making skincare, I’m drawn to creating things that are simple, beautiful and made to last.

Anyone else have a parent who was ahead of the trends? I’d love to hear your “I thought this was normal…” stories. 🌿
