Right now, most of this country is back in lock down, sigh. No matter what your views on Covid are, being in lock down, wearing masks, QR codes, the huge divide in community members, all of it is exhausting, stressful and down right draining!
For me personally I feel like staying home is just the easier, safer, and less stressful way to go whether in strict lock down or just living with some sort of restrictions.
In a word it SUCKS. Don't get me wrong, I am a home body, i love staying home and pottering around the house, working on my business, spending time with the kids etc etc. However, it's also the school holidays. So we as a family would normally be out doing things, travelling, eating out, going to the movies, visiting our interstate families. So it is doubly sucky for us and everyone else right now!
We feel stressed, imagine how the kids are feeling! I am a big fan of products that encourage calmness, help with anxiety, stress and overall improve their well-being. Kids feel stress from us and from their community the same as we do so understanding and being able to support them is SO important.
We recently launched a new product range specifically for kids, with stressed out kidlets in mind.
When creating our Kids Edition Bath Salts we wanted to make sure they were not only fun and exciting for kids to use but also have some therapeutic effects as well. So we researched the best essential oils and have added special blends to both ranges. These essential oils include:
Lavender: Known for its relaxation and soothing effects it is perfect for kids who are winding down after a busy day. Lavender is also a great pre bedtime essential oil, I use this one in the bath every night!
Bergamot and Grapefruit : Both well known for helping to elevate mood and destress but did you know they are also a natural antiseptic, antispasmodic, and analgesic (pain-relieving) which means they can offer some benefit for skin conditions or infections.
Peppermint: One of my personal faves! Peppermint is promoted for treating coughs and colds, reducing pain, improving mental function, and reducing stress.
Geranium: Known for helping with anxiety, depression, infection, and pain management. It's thought to have antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.
We have also used the finest Epson salts as our base for the Kids Bath Salts. Epsom Salt (magnesium) can help sooth the muscles, ease growing pains, and help the nervous system to settle - this can play a huge part in treating anxiety and stress in kids. We also have a small amount of Bi-Carbonate Soda mixed through the Salt. It sounds like more of a baking ingredient than a Kids Bath Salt but it can make a huge difference to the skin. Bicarb will soften the water and help balance the PH of the skin.
If you are sick of the kids stealing your bath salts then this range is perfect for you.
But don't forget about yourself too! Our 3 main Bath Salts ranges are all created with de-stressing in mind, so kick back, grab a cuppa and jump in for a soak. Maybe once the kids are in bed, because they will be in a happy peaceful slumber after their own relaxing Bath Soak.

Becoming a teenager is tough. Your body is rife with hormone surges, everything is exacerbated, feelings, moods, friendships, dramas, and skin problems tend to pop up as well.
I remember someone telling me when i was a teenager that using a plain old bar of soap was the best thing for your skin 😳. Needless to say, I suffered tremendously with breakouts, and just really unpredictable skin, even in to my 20's and early 30's.
