A La Naturale Baby!

A couple of weeks ago I found a newspaper clipping on my office desk, advertising a 1 day natural skin care course and immediately booked myself in. This would be the perfect chance for me to rediscover the magic of aromatherapy and all the benefits associated with making your own skincare.
Finally the date came around, and on Saturday 23rd October I set off to discover the wonders of Toodyay, a little country town, about an hour from Perth.
About 45 minutes into the trip I hit gravel, country roads - perfect for practising my oh-so wonderfully honed defensive driving skills that I learnt the weekend prior. The steering wheel of my (actually lets be honest, it’s Mums) previously immaculately clean, white Hyundai Accent shook as I carefully manoeuvred it across the dusty gravel bridge and into the driveway of a beautiful 2 storey wooden house.
The lady of the house, my teacher for the day welcomed me in and sat me down with a cup of peppermint tea in her 'outside room' - the veranda, which had been turned it a cute area decorated with memorabilia from her travels to India and Nepal. LOVED IT!
We then spent the rest of the day making and mixing up a number of yummy concoctions over the stove - much funner than cooking! From rich night creams to full body salt scrubs, all made from natural Australian products - there was no doubt our skin was going to be glowing after this course.
