Tea + Art: Sat Nov 28 in Kings Cross 3.30pm

We are assembling recycled bits and bobs for our (very cool) Christmas card session tomorrow afternoon.  Join us in Kings Cross and celebrate Buy Nothing Day by making art and good conversation.  (We will be breaking the ‘Buy Nothing Rules’ a little by buying tea and cupcakes from the venue.  This is because no one has a big enough lounge room – plus it’s supporting a small, local business so we’re kind of OK with that.)

Details here.

 

MYO skincare!

Do you ever bemoan the fact that kids of today have no idea where their food comes from?   That we have forgotten that mashed potato needn’t come in a packet and making your own tomato sauce actually isn’t that time-consuming once you know how? 

It’s kind of the same when it comes to the moisturisers, body washes and scrubs we use on our skin.  Most people don’t realise that it wasn’t so many decades ago that your face cream didn’t come from a department store shelf and that it is dead easy to make your own. 

The benefits:  you know what you are putting on your skin, it’s better for the environment because you can re-use old jars, and it’s cheaper. 

At this Tea + Art we all went home with face scrubs and massage bars and feeling very proud of ourselves!

Adding water to the moisturiser

Breaking up the cocoa butter = excellent stress relief!

 

Massage bars!

Massage what?  Massage bars! 

Cocoa butter, organic coconut oil, beeswax, organic essential oils and other lovely things, blended together to create a luxurious solid moisturising bar that melts at body temperature.   Instructions for use:  find friend, smile sweetly, ask for massage.  Smile more.  Good karma.  Also good for dry skin and Christmas stockings.

Choc orange bars are on sale now at Unpackaged in Amwell St.
