DIY MOTHER'S DAY SCRUB

March 20, 2019Sommer Pyne

The beauty of making things from scratch is that you know exactly what’s gone into it. It’s also a great way to make a gift that’s personalised and thoughtful. With Mothers day just around the corner here are a few body scrub recipes you can try at home. It’s super easy and fun!

All you need to do is fill a small glass 2/3 full of either sugar, coffee or salt – depending on whether you want fine or coarse exfoliation. Add the remaining ingredients. Slowly pour Meraki’s organic Pure Oil with orange and geranium into the glass storage jar while stirring the mixture. Then add a personalised gift tag and spoon as a finishing touch.

1. SUGAR SCRUB
Ingredients

- Organic cane sugar

- 3 teaspoons of organic honey

- 1 teaspoon of organic vanilla extract

- Meraki Pure Oil

Sugar, spice and everything nice…
Sugar is natural and can be used for many things other than just easting it. Try this sugar scrub which will leave your skin feeling smooth, moisturised and fresh.

2. COFFEE SCRUB
Ingredients

- Coffee grounds

- Orange peel

- Orange juice

- Meraki Pure Oil

Avoid throwing away your coffee grounds after your morning coffee. Instead, we recommend that you use them to make this wonderful DIY coffee scrub. The coffee grounds possess an exfoliating effect, thus invigorating and boosting the skin with extra glow and shine.

3. SALT SCRUB
Ingredients

- Himalayan sea salt

- Lemon peel

- Lemon juice

- Meraki Pure Oil

Try this refreshing salt scrub with lemon that will exfoliate your skin thoroughly and remove dead skin cells. Experience the invigorating effect that the lemon provides and feel more energised.

HONEST NATIVE SS19

March 14, 2019Sommer Pyne

Introducing : Our new Honest Native collection

This year’s Spring/Summer homeware and lifestyle collection has been inspired by my Australian lifestyle. It’s relaxed, unfussy and takes inspiration from the great outdoors.

Free flowing, blurring the lines between the indoors and the outdoors. Taking cues from the

richness of the Australian rugged landscape, beaches and wild fauna.

It’s all about slowing down and having an appreciation for the beauty of handmade and natural imperfections. We believe natural materials help make a home feel grounded and rejuvenated.

Honest Materials

An honest feel is emphasised by raw materials and traditional crafting techniques that are

juxtaposed with eye-catching brass and timeless modern pieces.

House Curious staple pieces made of marble and brass combined with natural woven rattan and sustainable bamboo create a laid back and cosy modern interior.
