I'm getting an award!

I got a lovely call yesterday from the steward of the NSW Hunter Valley Olive Oil association, telling me I'd won an award for my olive oil soaps - and that although he couldn't tell me WHAT award I'd won he said "it would be well worth your while to come in person to the presentation" - ooooooooo how exciting!!!

Here's a picture of the soaps that were entered, 100% pure olive oil soap from the boutique olive grove in the hunter region that I get my oils from (I try to support other aussie businesses and local produce wherever I can!) - I used my 'Charm' scent blend, a lovely upfliting combination of Australian Lemon Myrtle and Lavender essential oils, and scattered calendula petals throughout :)



The awards ceremony is tommorrow afternoon, so hubby and I wilk make the 2+ hour trip down at lunchtime 'ish and may stay the night in the region - not sure yet! :) The steward wants to have a business and promotional talk with me as well, as he wants to feature my soaps in the 2 day 'Feast of the Olives' that happens in the hunter valley every year - so I'm to bring down a large box of mixed soaps, flyers, business cards etc - this could turn into quite an interesting trip!

*** EDITED TO ADD - I won the gold :) And 'Best in Show' yay! ***

Envy - latest creation!

Hi All,

I've been dreaming up some new essential oil blends lately - and here we have one of the new ones :)

Envy - crisp tea tree with zesty, sultry lemongrass - perfect for the dark edge jealousy can have, with deep green swirled with whispy tendrils of black...



Also in the works are Bewitch (exotic Rosewood and smokey Vetiver essential oil) and Sinful (with sultry Patchouli, Sweet Orange, and spicy Cinnamon essential oils) so keep an eye out on my website for them!

I've recently gotten a new camera, so have been playing with it today - I'm amazed at the crispness of detail I can now get :)

Ooooooo appearing in Vogue!!!!!!!!!!!

How excited was I this morning to recieve the upcoming October edition of the one and only, Vogue magazine, and seeing my scrumptious soapies and scrubs making their first appearance in their preferred business directory - waaaaahhhooooooo :)

I don't think I came down out of the clouds all day!
