A lot of action happens around the bird baths. So many different birds come and go each day and sometimes they aren't in the mood for sharing the space...

Simple colours can make beautiful patterns in Soap and provide an opportunity to be a bit more creative.

The best part is cutting the soap 24hrs later to reveal the design and swirls! No 2 soaps are the same, even in the same loaf.

Pick any 3 bar soaps for $27 or 5 for $45.

Montville will come alive with health, happiness and nature on Saturday 3 October, when the inaugural Montville Wellness Expo brings together wellness practitioners, inspiring speakers, creative workshops, music, natural therapies and healthy living experiences in the heart of the village.

Designed as a family-friendly celebration with something for everyone, the Montville Wellness Expo will combine healthy lifestyle choices, natural medicine and natural living in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Think natural medicine meets wellness—with a distinctly Montville flavour.

From 9.30am to 3.30pm, visitors will be able to explore a diverse collection of health and lifestyle exhibitors, enjoy presentations from knowledgeable speakers, participate in workshops and discover new ways to support their health and wellbeing.

Importantly, entry to the Expo, exhibitor halls and speaker presentations is free.

Sharing local knowledge

One of the key ideas behind the Expo is simple: to bring people together and share practical knowledge that can make a difference in everyday life.

Rather than focusing on the latest piece of technology or something new to buy, presentations will give visitors access to subject-matter experts sharing ideas and practices they can consider independently incorporating into their own lives at no cost.

In some ways, it will be like a mini TED Talk festival dedicated to health and wellbeing.

The Expo will showcase qualified natural medicine practitioners, nutrition specialists, natural products, holistic healing and bodywork therapists, wellness retreats, accommodation providers, wellness centres and spas, intuitive guidance, self-development and self-care practices.

It is also an opportunity to celebrate the many talented practitioners, businesses and individuals who call the Sunshine Coast Hinterland home.

Cyndi O'Meara is the headline Speaker at the Expo

Hope to see you there!

These beautiful plants self seed all the time so we never have a shortage of their vibrant flowers and peppery leaves.

They take a little bit of getting used to because of their hot flavour, but I eat a leaf or flower each day for general tonic action.

Natural antibiotic plants like this one have so many benefits without damaging your gut flora.
They are high in Vitamin C antioxidants and are helpful in the treatment of lung infections of any kind.

Throw a few seeds in the garden and have your medicine on hand when you need it.

I have been wanting to make a Shaving Cream Soap for a very long time. The problem was that it needed to be high in Stearic Acid to make the rich lather and most recipes needed Palm Oil and/or Soy Wax.

All our products are free from Palm Oil and the Top 10 Allergens (of which Soy is one) so this ruled out both these ingredients.

I needed to formulate a recipe that provided the right amount of Stearic Acid to make a Shaving Soap that did what was intended while still benefiting your skin.

That's when I came up with this beautiful combination of four 100% Organic Butters and Oils and scented with Organic Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil.

Our Shaving Cream Set contains:

🌿 Our 100% Organic Shaving Cream Puck (Lemon Myrtle)
🌿 a Stainless Steel Cup
🌿 and a Shaving Brush

We always aim for sustainability and zero waste, so refill with a new Shaving Cream Puck when you run low.

Our pucks are wrapped in Unbleached, Chlorine-free, Certified Compostable 'If you care' Coffee Filters, so throw the wrapping in the compost once you have refilled your Shaving Cream Cup.

Ingredients:
Organic Kokum Butter, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Shea Butter, Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil.
