NATURAL SKINCARE


~  HARVEST GARDEN  ~
Pamper & Indulge
A Look At Natural Skincare!

Coconut Body Polish 150gm
I am so good when it comes to completely cleansing my body head to toe each day in the shower,
however honestly I don't often use a body polish or scrub as I just own a bundle more cleansers and
so that is what I reach for most often. In saying that I do notice the build up of dead and hardened
skin when I leave it go too long and my skin can begin to appear dull and less than smooth.

This Coconut Body Polish smells EXACTLY like a day spa! All natural and super relaxing!
Contains - Epsom Salt, Virgin Coconut Oil, Australian Pink Clay, Dried Rose Buds, Dried
Calendula Flowers, Sweet Orange Essential Oil & Rose Geranium Essential Oil.

How cute and handy is the little scoop in the jar?! I have been using between 3-5 scoops per shower
depending on how much I feel I need that day. This leaves your skin smelling gorgeous and I love
the soft feeling from the moisturising coconut oil and smoothness from the other ingredients blended
together. I don't even have to bother moisturising afterwards as it has all been taken care of in this
polish, clever little guy!

Harvest Garden Coconut Body Polish - RRP: $15.00AU (Shop!)

Gentle Facial Scrub 70gm
I love facial scrubs and always notice a significant difference every time I use one! Somehow I find
my skin tends to build up more on my face than on my body, that I notice anyway! So regular facial
scrubbing is a must for me otherwise the surface of my skin becomes rough, super dull and tends to
break out more frequently with blackheads being more noticeable than usual. Ew!

What I like most about this all natural, all Aussie made Gentle Facial Scrub is it's unique dry blend of
ingredients. These include - Powdered Goats Milk, Ground Oatmeal, Sodium Bicarbonate, Ground
Calendula Petals, Folic Acid & Olive Leaf Extract.

So you may be wondering how to use a dry facial scrub as opposed to a wet one? Well it's actually
really simple and you can even mix in pretty much any wet mix you like to suit you own personal
flavour. Harvest Garden recommends using water, honey, floral water or apple cider vinegar. I
personally find just using water to be the most convenient, however I have also tried using Manuka
Honey which is nice and thick and makes it really easy to apply.

I also have tons of Aloe vera growing in my back yard which I haven't tried mixing in with this yet,
however I am thinking about it as I figure it would feel quite soothing and add to the lovely natural
scent!

Harvest Garden Gentle Facial Polish - RRP: $15.00AU (Shop!)

Intensive Facial Cream 60gm
This Intensive Facial Cream can be used both day and night, however as it is rich in intensive hard
working skin loving ingredients it is recommended to use more as a night cream for best results as
our skin works it's hardest healing the skin and regenerating new cells as we sleep.

This smooth light, whipped, creamy blend smells divine and is a dream on the skin with ingredients
including - Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Vitamin E, Green Tea Extract, Lavender Essential Oil, Rose
Geranium Essential Oil & Patchouli Essential Oils.

Like many other Harvest Garden products you will find your own little scoop inside to use to scoop
out your product to minimise contamination and prolong the life of the product.

With the weather being so hot lately (I am sure many of you can relate!) sometimes Harvest Garden
products can melt a little as they aren't bound together nor contain with any toxic chemicals, synthetic
fragrances, artificial colours, parabens or palm oil. However popping then into the fridge will quickly
being then back up to a less runny consistency. :)

Harvest Garden Intensive Facial Cream - RRP: $20.00AU (Shop!)

Herbal Balm 110gm
This Herbal Balm is one of those clever little must have multi-use products which come in handy for
the whole family for different reasons and you find yourself thanking your lucky stars you own it at
times when you need it the most.

With a solid melt in your hands creamy natural oil based consistency this balm does a whole
multitude of things including healing the skin from nappy rash, minor burns, scabs, dry skin, minor
cuts and grazes as well as dry chapped lips!


Ingredients include a blend of all 100% natural Australian Virgin Coconut Oil, Calendula Infused
Olive Oil, Calendula Infused Sweet Almond Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Beeswax and
Vitamin E.

I have been using this mainly as a dry skin and chapped lips moisturiser and even used it on my son's
cheeky little butt-butt with no irritation or flare ups. This stuff is so gentle to even baby's skin!
I have found this to also deeply moisturise the dry brittle ends of my hair, so really you can go to
town experimenting with what works for you with this multi-use product. I highly recommend
having a jar in the house. I keep mine in the fridge as it gives an ultra cooling effect to the skin this
way and feels super refreshing on hot days like the ones we've been having lately!

THE DOLL CONNECTION


~  The Doll Connection  ~
Blogger/Vlogger Event
#thedollconnection

Blogger events in Australia seem to be growing as the world of beauty, fashion & lifestyle
blogging and vlogging grow at a rapid rate. Since beginning my Youtube channel way back in
2010 I have seen the handful of #beautyguru's expand from what only felt like the US in the 
beginning to now having quite a few big names right here at home in Oz.

The Doll Connection was held here in Brisbane yesterday on the 24th of October at The Stock
Exchange Hotel in the city which I had never been before and was also very keen to head from the
south side over to the city for the day as I don't often get the chance to and I LOVE THE CITY! :)

Since this was my first time attending a blogger event and not ever having met any of the other 
beauties attending in real life my anxiety was on a high note but I still really wanted to go to network
and meet many of the beautiful and talented ladies whom I have connected with online, but never in
the flesh. So a big massive 'Thank you!' goes out to my fellow blogging sis who agreed to come along
to keep me company and she said she ended up having a great time and she even won a prize! (A 
huge basket of goodies from Harvest Garden!).
Me & my sis! #besties

My sister's generous gift basket of goodies she won from The Harvest Garden!

The brands who attended the event included - 
V10 Plus, Wardrobe Warriors, Arbonne, BotanicES, The Harvest Garden, Sunsense, Cocosun.....
The ladies from Cocosun!                                       Me with the gorgeous Rhiannon from Arbonne!

Additional brands/companies who donated product for goodie bags/prizes included -
Lush, Benefit Cosmetics, Tanezze Australia, Mr.Blanc, Hydralyte, Summer Salt Body, Kosmea
Australia, Beginning Boutique, Plunkett, Eye Of Horus, Scunci, VS Sassoon, Furless, People For 
Plants, Sukin, Apollo's Day Spa, NYX, Rimmel London, People For Plants, Pukka Teas....

So many amazing companies to meet, learn about and try their products! 
I was especially excited to actually meet the lovely people from both BotanicES & The Harvest
Garden to whom I have recently been working with. :)
Meeting the very lovely Christelle from BotanicES!           The Harvest Garden's delicious display!

I feel so lucky with the gigantic goodie bag and all the goodies we received!
Here is a pic of everything I lugged back to the car with me!
Goodie bag haul video coming soon! :)

I was lucky enough to win a few super fun prizes as well! :)

And of course getting out of my comfort zone (I am naturally very shy!) and making sure I made
a big effort to meet, chat and take selfies with as many attendees as possible. Unfortunitely I didn't 
get pix with everyone I met (next time!) and I cannot wait to catch up with so many of them again!

NATURAL SOAP


~  HARVEST GARDEN  ~

Cold Pressed Soaps!



 Honey & Oatmeal 
Out of all of these four soaps I have been using from Harvest Garden I am beginning with this one
here because it just happens to be my fav. I have always been a massive fan of honey scented
products and I am particularly fond of using soaps which contain them for not only the gorgeous
smell but also all of the amazing benefits it provides to your skin including, moisturising, healing,
calming and even reducing pore size! (Yes please!). The added oatmeal in this soap gently exfoliates
the skin, together with the honey this simple, effective duo is so effective yet still so gentle it is even
suitable for use on both babies and older skin types. Can be used both as a body and/or facial cleanser.

Ingredients include - Sweet Almond Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Coconut Oil,
Beeswax, Lye, Ground Oatmeal & Honey. All 100% Natural and NO PALM OIL! 130gm - $7.00


Lavender with Washed Australian Blue Clay 
Even though Lavender has never been my first choice of fragrance, I cannot deny the absolute
beneficial gifts the scent of Lavender gives to my overall wellbeing and state of mind.
Not a topic I like to openly share and delve into being that I try really hard to keep on the positive
and optimistic side of life, I do however suffer like most from stress and anxiety every single day so
to indulge in a beautiful Aussie luxe cold pressed soap like this one containing the very ingredient
which helps to ease these feelings is one I have leaned to appreciate and embrace. FYI - Lavender is
also great for sufferers of depression, insomnia, headaches, digestive issues and skin problems such
as inflammation.

Ingredients include -Sweet Almond Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Coconut
Oil, Washed Australian Blue Clay & Lavender Essential Oils. 130gm - $7.00

Lemongrass Olive Leaf Extract & Ground Flaxseed with Turmeric 
This is a soap both the hubby and I have been sharing as it contains ingredients which benefit us both
in different ways. He loves the scent of Lemongrass, however I am more impressed by it's skin and
muscle toning abilities. I don't exactly have the time to take to go the the gym or exercise, so I am
more than happy to have a little helping hand to make my skin more toned by nature and by doing
it my way. i.e Taking a shower, rather than hitting the gym. :)

My husband suffers from quite a bit of muscular pain and the Lemongrass in this soap has been great
at easing a bit of the pain. That together with the Olive Leaf Extract, Ground Flaxseed & Turmeric
which also have a ton of great skin and body benefits including cellular regeneration, anti-inflamitary,
and healing properties. The aroma this soap also gives is absolutely divine and fills my whole bathroom with a magical relaxing scent. 130gm - $7.00 

Rose Geranium, Patchouli & Lavender with Australian Red Clay 
I can honestly not recommend checking out these Harvest Garden soaps enough. Really, there is
a soap (or several in my case) to suit everyone and their skin type, concerns and needs. I have found
great benefits in all four I have been using here and I love the thought of my soap not just cleansing
my body but also doing a number of other things which are helpful, nourishing and healthy for my
body. This particular blend of Rose Geranium Patchouli, Lavender, Australian Red Clay, Sweet
Almond Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Coconut Oil, Lye & Beeswax also smalls
so incredibly pretty, lathers up beautifully and has a calming, relaxing and uplifting effect from the
Rose Geranium and Lavender as well as aiding in skin renewal and healing bruises, burns, sunburnt
skin, varicose veins (god I hate those things, got loads of those), broken capillaries, stretch marks,
rosacea and even those who have had chemo-therapy, the Australian Red Clay is said to be rich in
iron and essential minerals which have been used for centuries to aid in regenerating new and healthy
skin! Amazing, I am so glad to have learnt and benefited so much from this simple, complex soap!

Highly recommended! Might be a good idea to check out the whole range and make a list for loved
ones for Christmas gifts since the season seems to be creeping up on us again so quickly! You're
sure to find something special and for the bargain price, these are definitely worth it! 130gm - $7.00

HARVEST GARDEN


~  HARVEST GARDEN  ~

Epsom Bath Salts

Patchouli, Lemongrass, Calendaula & Zeolite Clay

Whenever I get the chance, there is nothing (much) more I love to indulge in than a nice hot relaxing
quiet bath. Alone time, it is an extremely rare treat and one that I savour!

Lately, each time I have had the chance (even in the middle of the day - Do I think bath time is just 
for before bed? No! For me it's whenever I can get it! Before lunch? I'm cool with that! Light a 
candle and let's get started...!

Let me introduce you to a new to me Aussie owned brand and 100% natural Australian made product 
which has been my best friend during my last handful of baths and I love it so much I just had to 
share it with you all, because ahh, it is just sooo nice!

Harvest Garden Epsom Bath Salts - $20.00 (1kg)

Not only does this product look super homey and stylish in my bathroom in it's super clever
re-useable glass jar, the contents it contains is just gorgeous! To start with the scent sends me straight
off into a completely relaxed state and as I use the handy wooden scoop to sprinkle this blend of Sea
Salt, Epsom Salts, Dried Calendula Flowers, Zeolite Clay, Lemongrass & Patchouli Essential Oils
into my bath I am completely in my own little world and ready to dive in!

I have used plain Epsom Salts in my bath before after hearing of their detoxing, relaxing and 
exfoliating benefits. However, what makes this blend even better is the added benefits of each unique 
ingredient and how it helps our bodies with stress relief, healing of the skin, scars, stretch marks, 
brusing, irritations, stings, poor circulation + more! 


Harvest Garden provide a wide range of all natural products which can be purchased directly from
their website, or from a wide range of locations Australia wide. For a full location list to find one near
