Infused with amethyst crystal and certified organic lavender and rose buds. Apply to pulse points or rub a little between hands, cup hands over nose and take a few really deep breaths right down into the bottom of your belly. Designed to help you find a little bit of calm. www.afewfavouritethings.com.au Due to availability they are currently made with amethyst crystal chips.

25.01.2022 THE SAMPLER GIFT BOX! Online now due to popular demand www.afewfavouritethings.com.au ... Please excuse the TERRIBLE photos though. Just as I was about to take the photo some powerlines fell down in our area and our power went out It appears it is going to be out for quite some time so here are some really dodgy photos by candlelight (1) and iPhone flash (2) I know a lot of you wanted to purchase one ASAP so I have listed them on the website now (dodgy photos and all ) but will definitely try and get a better photo when the sun is up. Hopefully you can still clearly see what is included. A beautiful little gift box packed with our favourite and most popular 100% Natural products. Perfect for Mother’s Day or as an iso pick-me-up. Handmade from the highest quality natural and organic Ingredients. The sampler gift box includes sample/travel size products: Flower Bath Organic Bath Tea Organic Coffee Body Scrub Pink Clay & Botanical Face Mask and a timber spoon Crystal infused Rosewater Face Mist A full size 30g 100% Natural bicarb free, plastic free (home compostable packaging), vegan, deodorant stick that smells like lemony sunshine and REALLY works. You also have the option to add a can of Squealing Pig Spritzed Rosé and raw/natural Rose quartz crystal Please keep current Australia Post delays in mind if shipping online.

23.01.2022 Not one person on social media has ever asked me ‘Charley, what are the best books you’ve read recently?’ but that’s not going to stop me from sharing! I’ve read a few really memorable books recently, like recently before things got REALLY crazy with favourite things (and quite a few that were ‘pretty good’ too). I thought I’d share my absolute favourites in case you are looking for recommendations for a summer reading list. The Giver of Stars by @jojomoyesofficial, All the L...ight We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, Educated by @Tara Westover, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman and This One Wild and Precious Life by @_sarahwilson_ The Bronze Horseman by Paulina Simons still stands as one of my all time favourite books so that might give some insight into the type of story I enjoy. Actually I really like most of Paulina Simons and JoJo Moyes books and absolutely loved First We Make The Beast Beautiful by Sarah Wilson. If there’s any books you’d recommend I’d love to know! I plan to take a little break after Christmas and definitely need some new additions to my reading list. Happy Summer everyone! If I’m really honest I actually prefer cold weather but I still think Summer in this beautiful country of ours is worth celebrating! #books #reads #greatreads #greatbooks #summer #summerlovin #summerreading #summerreadinglist #december : @allthingslillyann See more

23.01.2022 One of our all natural bath bombs infused with organic botanicals and a rose quartz crystal. Close up! Handmade from detoxifying pink clay and nourishing plant oils. Beautiful photo by @zara.little.lady #bathbomb #allnatural #handmade #crystals #essentialoils #flowerbath #buyfromthebush

21.01.2022 Summer is also for Summer Lovin’ Natural & Organic Products and Gift Boxes that smell like lemony sunshine and spread joy Handmade in small batches from the highest quality natural and organic ingredients. The rosewater face mist is the most beautiful refreshing treat for your face and EVEN better when stored in the fridge during the warmer weather. It is a natural toner, makeup finishing spray and just a great little, complexion loving, pick-me-up any time. ... The natural deodorant stick is our number one best selling product of all time. It smells delicious, REALLY works and is good for your underarms and the environment. Available individually or in a number of very excellent gift boxes on the website now! www.afewfavouritethings.com.au

21.01.2022 This might just seem like the weirdest thing EVER but I want to see what happens if I have a month away from social media (apart from losing bulk followers, dropping engagement and being punished by the algorithms ). As far as business goes this could be the worst decision I’ve ever made but being a one woman show means that if I want a break from social media then my business takes a break too (from PM’s too - sorry!). Strategically this is ‘bad timing’ because this little ...business of mine is growing so much right now and has grown more over the last few months than in the whole first few years (thanks natural deodorant sticks!) and it seems a bit crazy to step away from this incredible momentum but I just feel like I need this for me. The website has just been restocked with deodorants and all website orders will still be processed and sent out as usual. There are so many big things going on behind the scenes right now and I need to try and focus my attention there (lately I’ve become really distracted by social media ). Who knows, I might change my mind and be back tomorrow If not, I hope to see you and chat to you in about a month. Facebook, please be kind to me and show people my stuff when I get back. Thanks for being here, thanks for your support and much love! x Oh P.S. Some website work will be happening during this time so if you have any feedback at all about the website I’d love to hear it. Also my email inbox will still be open [email protected] and I will be checking it somewhat regularly Thank you : @jenbpeters You can still stock up on deodorant here while I’m offline: www.afewfavouritethings.com.au

21.01.2022 DIY Beeswax Food Wrap Kits online now (with the other Gift Boxes)! www.afewfavouritethings.com.au The hard work has been done and they are essentially melt and pour organic beeswax wraps. The story goes something like this... ... @littlespriglinen yesterday afternoon: Hey, what do you use to make your beeswax food wraps? Me: Organic Beeswax, Organic Jojoba Oil, Tree Resin, bla bla bla, you melt it all together in a double boiler and then you bla bla bla... @littlespriglinen: Where do you get tree resin? Me: Oh I’ve got everything you need right here, I’ll get some to you. Also me: making beeswax wraps at 3am (because that just seems to be the way I roll sometimes ) to retest the recipe. They turned out amazing!! Also me: I could make it easier by pre-mixing/melting everything in the right ratios and pouring into moulds. Also me: I could make kits to make it really easy for other people to do this at home and make their own beautiful beeswax wraps. Also me: DIY Beeswax Wrap Kits (including certified organic cotton fabric, certified organic beeswax, certified organic Jojoba oil & tree resin, and a pastry brush) available online now. Enough materials to make up to 8 beeswax wraps depending on size and technique. A great Mother’s Day gift or purposeful and rewarding activity to do at home. (Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I only have certified organic ingredients on hand so that obviously makes things a little more expensive than non organic ingredients but I think it is probably totally worth it since these are designed to be used with food). Also you will probably have spare wraps that you will be able to share/give as sweet handmade gifts

21.01.2022 Wow! Wow! WOW!!! If you saw our Facebook post about it, saw our Instagram stories or got the latest newsletter you will already know that our natural deodorant stick and crystal infused mediation balm were featured/reviewed in the latest @wellbeing_magazine Yoga Edition! I know businesses have their products featured in magazines all the time but for such a teeny, tiny, one person, mostly handmade business I can’t quite describe how that feels. You’ll have to check out a copy...Continue reading

21.01.2022 A few people worried about running out of deodorant (I LOVE that you love it so much!!). The website will still be happening as normal while I’m having my little social media break for the next month or so (you can read all about that on my last post if you are so inclined). You will still be able to shop online as usual with orders being sent out as normal. www.afewfavouritethings.com.au All Natural Deodorant Sticks. Bicarb Free, Aluminium Free, Plastic/Waste Free (compost...able packaging), Palm Oil Free, Vegan and smell like lemony sunshine. I’m quite certain you’ll love it Email: [email protected]

20.01.2022 Good morning! New day, new week, full moon and nearly a new month. That’s a lot of fresh beginnings. Fresh new things coming to the website today or tomorrow too! I hope you have a fulfilling week with some peaceful moments too. x : @itsnata

20.01.2022 So close I can almost taste it! @aletterintime

20.01.2022 Anyone else’s perfectionism get in their way? I have so many ideas but the fear of sucking is a huge hurdle for me to overcome. It means a lot of my ideas either take a REALLY long time to see the light of day or I just never act on them. I’m really trying to work on this. So watch this space. You might see something superbly sucky from me soon : @seize_the_yay

19.01.2022 Today and every day! : @revolverhotel

19.01.2022 Hello!!! Firstly - to answer the most asked question - the natural, bicarb free, deodorant sticks have been restocked www.afewfavouritethings.com.au We are still posting parcels out as usual but there do seem to be some delays in delivery times with Australia Post so please just keep this in mind when placing orders ... It’s been a while How are you? I hope you and your family are keeping well during this unusual time! I just wanted to say hello and give a couple of little updates... I hope you will still recognise us popping up in your feed. I have finally updated the profile picture (and cover photo) to our new logo after using a photo of my light box (with upside down I in things) for more than four years We’ve added some great new immune support products to the website (you can see some of them in the photos below and fine them in the immune category on the website). There are some cool new eco products like the brilliant reusable insulated tumblers in new colours and sizes (perfect for Mother’s Day ) and we’ve also put some great products on sale including the amazing Eye of Horus Mascaras and Brow Products and stainless steel bento boxes. You can find them in the Sale category - no code needed. You can find it all on the website www.afewfavouritethings.com.au Unfortunately I’m not quite ready to be back in the thick of social media yet so this might be the only post for a little while but I really do hope you are doing well! Thank you for being here and thank you for your support. Take care! Big love, Charley x

19.01.2022 Thank you so much for all of your orders and support! I hope everyone has a very Happy Mother’s Day tomorrow. I have just made a few more DIY Beeswax Food Wrap Kits and uploaded them to the website. There is also one Mindful Soak still available at www.afewfavouritethings.com.au All Natural Deodorant Sticks have been restocked and so have the balms. Calm Balm, Dream Balm and Meditation Balm are all there ... All handmade with love by me and full of only the highest quality natural and organic ingredients I can get my hands on. If you are looking for a last minute gift Wild Posy Co. have a couple of beautiful gift boxes and dried flowers still available. x

17.01.2022 Love, love, love receiving emails like this!!

17.01.2022 Love, love, love this sweet little custom Mother’s Day gift! It was such a lovely order to put together. I absolutely love the subtle scent of the organic beeswax tealights even when they are not yet lit. Maybe somewhat reminiscent of a warm milk and honey in the evening as a child? The fact that they have reusable tins makes them even better. If you’ve been following along for any length of time you will know that the natural deodorant and Rosewater are two of my absolute ...favourite products so I’m not sure this gift could get any better. I hope it is loved. There are a few ready made gift boxes on the website if you would like to send a little box of love to someone. www.afewfavouritethings.com.au Have a beautiful day x

17.01.2022 MACKAY friends... Just a little reminder that the Summer Lovin’ Sampler Gift Bags (and the gift boxes too) are available @gypsyandthebowerbird They are available at the Pop Up Shop in Goondoon street too - if you are in Gladstone!

16.01.2022 This one just makes my heart happy! Lots of gift boxes on the website now but this particular one is available @soulfoodmarket. Pretty sure the dried flowers wouldn’t survive going in the mail. www.afewfavouritethings.com.au

16.01.2022 It’s getting hot in here... If it’s hot where you are, pop your Rosewater face mist in the fridge and it will be the coolest, most refreshing treat your skin has ever experienced. I LOVE this multifunctional mist. It is all natural, great for your complexion and can be used as a natural toner, a makeup finishing spray or just as a lovely refreshing pick me for your face any time you like. It’s in a beautiful frosted glass bottle and infused with hibiscus and rose quartz crystals for extra goodness. Enjoy! It’s at @gypsyandthebowerbird too.

16.01.2022 Thanks for the amazing review Donna! To know that our natural deodorant is making a real difference to some people’s lives is just the best feeling in the world. It’s one of the reasons I feel so proud of this product. A subscription actually sounds like a brilliant idea!! Who would be interested in a subscription so you don’t have to worry about replacing your deodorant every few months - it would just automatically turn up on your doorstep at just the right time? And bee friendly flower seeds could arrive with each deodorant delivery for you to plant in your empty deodorant tubes? And we could probably work out a small discount for subscribers? Is this a good idea or am I getting excited about nothing?

14.01.2022 All available Mother’s Day offerings are now uploaded to the website and any website orders placed will be sent out as usual but as it’s really unlikely any more packaging is going to arrive in time for me to make any more products before Mother’s Day I am going to take this opportunity to take a little more time away from social media (including PM’s sorry!). You can find the bicarb free, natural deodorant sticks, gift boxes and many other wonderful natural, organic and eco... products at www.afewfavouritethings.com.au Thank you for your support with these new gift boxes so far!! Take care x

13.01.2022 REALLY feeling the love over here! Saying thank you will never be enough. The gift boxes and gift bags are selling quicker than I could ever have imagined so please don’t wait too long if you’ve been eyeing something off. It’s really hard to get supplies at the moment so some things won’t be able to be restocked before Christmas once they are gone Going to do a little giveaway full of favourite things soon just to show my appreciation for all of the support. Thank you! : @designsbyjrm www.afewfavouritethings.com.au

13.01.2022 Hey! Sorry if I’ve been bombarding you a bit but I just wanted to let you know that I’ve uploaded the last few gift boxes onto the website. Because of the postage delays and delays in general at the moment I’m not holding out too much hope for receiving more packaging in time for Mother’s Day so these may be the last boxes available. I’ll keep you posted. The first pic is the sampler box. www.afewfavouritethings.com.au ... The Sampler Gift Box - A beautiful little gift box packed with our favourite and most popular 100% Natural products. Perfect for Mother’s Day or as an iso pick-me-up.Handmade from the highest quality natural and organic Ingredients. The sampler gift box includes sample/travel size products: Flower Bath Organic Bath Tea Organic Coffee Body Scrub Pink Clay & Botanical Face Mask and a timber spoon Crystal infused Rosewater Face Mist A full size 30g 100% Natural bicarb free, plastic free (home compostable packaging), vegan, deodorant stick that smells like lemony sunshine and REALLY works. You also have the option to add a can of Squealing Pig Spritzed Rosé and raw/natural Rose quartz crystal. The last couple photos are behind the scenes shots of what Flower Bath and the Pink Clay Botanical Face Mask look like in the making

12.01.2022 WOW GLADSTONE! The Pop Up Shop is now closed but thank you from the bottom of my heart for the incredible support! We were absolutely blown away and you made seven small business owners do many, many, happy dances. THANK YOU and Merry Christmas! May your days be merry and bright and may you have a happy and healthy New Year. Keep an eye out as we may just be popping up again in the New Year! ... A massive shoutout and heartfelt thank you to Jo from Happyrock Plants and Creations for creating such a wonderful little Pop Up! Thank you also to the other beautiful businesses involved @alannajanemillinery @kirstyanderson_artworks @maicraftycorner @duckydream.handmade.creations @sudsandsoy

12.01.2022 Seeing reviews like these on our little website about our natural deodorant sticks is just the BEST thing!! Thank you! If you have purchased something from a small business that you have loved, I can’t encourage you enough to leave a review on their website. It will probably make their day and it will also help others decide whether a particular product is worth spending their hard earned cash on.

10.01.2022 Gift Boxes!! On the website now! After last nights’ somewhat failed attempt at photographing them by candlelight after the power lines fell down, here are some much clearer photos of The Sampler Gift Box & Hug in a Box Gift Box. I have added a few more to the website because you guys bought nearly all of them last night even with the dodgy photo. I seriously could not love you more for it! ... www.afewfavouritethings.com.au HUG IN A BOX GIFT BOX This one includes delicious raw honey from our beautiful friends CannonBee A beautiful little gift box - like a big warm hug in a box! Perfect for Mothers Day or as a beautiful iso pick-me-up. 2 x Organic Chai Loose Leaf Tea - 15gram each Steep Biodegradable Teabags - box of 40 Delicious CannonBee Raw Honey - 150g glass jar 2 x Northern Light Organic Beeswax Tea-light Candles - Northern Light’s longest burning tealight designed so that every drop of the bees wax is used. No wastage and the safest fume rating of any candle. These tealights are made from 100% organically certified Australian beeswax and cotton candlewick. Beautiful German Pyrex Glass Light Bubble Reusable Glass Tea-light Holder. If you wanted to add a little something else to this gift box, one of our HuskeeCup Reusable Coffee Cups would be the perfect addition, or even one of our reusable insulated tumblers. THE SAMPLER GIFT BOX A beautiful little gift box packed with our favourite and most popular 100% Natural products. Perfect for Mother’s Day or as an iso pick-me-up. Handmade from the highest quality natural and organic Ingredients.

08.01.2022 I never talk about money on here so this is a REALLY unusual share for me but If you’ve EVER thought you might like to have your own online business/income stream check out these courses: the small course (a great starting point!). https://www.freedombyjadeandkev.courses/a/37970/KtL8zgtL The BIG course (the one I did and got SO MUCH from): https://www.freedombyjadeandkev.courses/a/39152/KtL8zgtL And if you’ve never thought about an online income and have zero interest in su...Continue reading

07.01.2022 Holy moly!! Two of my products are featured in the latest Wellbeing Mag Yoga edition!! My 100% Natural Bicarb Free Deodorant Stick and my Crystal Infused Meditation Balm. They loved them For such a teeny tiny, one woman, handmade, business, this feels rather unbelievable and incredibly exciting! Eep! ... www.afewfavouritethings.com.au

06.01.2022 No caption needed : @poetryofdhiman

06.01.2022 Word! I’m going to keep practicing not being mean to myself. I hope you will too @madebyeli

04.01.2022 Soak. Scrub. Nourish. A little bit of all the best things in one very excellent little gift box (if I do say so myself). All natural and hand made in ridiculously small batches. The bath Bomb is topped with a citrine crystal and certified organic botanicals for all the good energy! They are on the website now (link in bio). Happy Saturday www.afewfavouritethings.com.au

03.01.2022 Dream Balm. Restocked on the website. www.afewfavouritethings.com.au Certified organic ingredients lovingly combined to create a calming balm. This one is a real favourite and is a beautiful ritual to add to your bed time routine. Hand crafted in ridiculously small batches and infused with certified organic lavender and chamomile flowers and amethyst crystals for all the calm, peaceful and restful energy. You can apply to pulse points or even rub a little under your nose. I sometimes rub a little between my hands, cup my hands over my nose and take a few really deep breaths right down into the bottom of my belly. Ahhhhhh.

03.01.2022 These limited edition 100% natural and organic minis are included in select gifts boxes on the website now! Slowly hand blended in ridiculously small batches with a whole lot of love and care. I love them. These are a Few of My Favourite Things! www.afewfavouritethings.com.au

02.01.2022 THANK YOU for your orders! Ordering from a small rural business really has a huge impact... In so many ways! Thanks Husband and Thanks Mum for helping me get them to the post office every day. Thanks Karen for providing such a wonderful post office experience every day. Mum is just visiting but has been such a HUGE help! If only she could be here all the time www.afewfavouritethings.com.au ... Australia Post Isaac Regional Council

01.01.2022 I thought today, being the 50th Anniversary of World Earth Day, was the perfect time to tell you about one of my favourite things about our all natural deodorants. There are lots of things to love about them; they are ALL natural, bicarb & aluminium free, they REALLY work and are getting beautiful 5 star reviews and they smell like lemony sunshine but - one of my most favourite things is the zero waste, plastic free, packaging. The packaging is home compostable, so once you... have finished using the deodorant, you can literally plant a seed in it and then plant the entire thing in a pot or your garden and it will break down as your plant grows. This is great because you don’t have to upset your seedling by repotting it and it also means that there is no further energy required to ‘recycle’ this packaging or try and find a way to reuse it around your home. It will completely return to the earth where it came from. Truly zero waste! They are online now www.afewfavouritethings.com.au Please be careful though! Not all paper/card tubes that look like this are compostable. Most of them actually have a plastic based lining inside them. Obviously you don’t want that in your garden/breaking down in the environment. Our deodorant tubes are lined with a plant based lining which prevents the oils in the deodorant being absorbed by the paper. This lining is fully compostable. Also there is a difference between compostable products that need an industrial composting facility to break down vs home compostable products. Just something to be aware of when trying to make the most sustainable choices The seed I have chosen to grow in this one is controversial... coriander It has been my intention forever to have small packets of bee friendly seeds to go with the deodorants and I still will, but all good things take time... especially when I am in charge of making them happen

01.01.2022 Just a little note to let you know that CannonBee will have our all natural, bicarb free deodorant sticks at their beautiful stall this evening at the Greater Whitsunday Farmers' Market twilight market in Mackay. Even if you don’t want a deodorant you should absolutely stop by to say hello and try their delicious local honey! They also have some BEAUTIFUL gift boxes if you need a last minute Valentine’s Day gift. P.s. our natural deodorant sticks are 100% natural, aluminium free, plastic free & waste free (compostable packaging), bicarb free, palm oil free, synthetic fragrance free (scented with pure essential oils), vegan and smell like lemony sunshine. You can also check them out at www.afewfavouritethings.com.au

01.01.2022 Just leaving this here as reference material! : @adminandco

01.01.2022 This is my Mum. Not that you can see much of her I cannot thank her enough for her help and support with this little business of mine at the moment (oh and for her brilliant ability to not trip over anything whilst carrying so many parcels into the post office without being able to see a thing)! She has been cooking meals for me while I have been focussed on making products and packing orders and she has been packaging products like a superstar. Although, if your label is crooked, it’s TOTALLY her fault! This is currently the biggest month this little business of mine has ever had (THANK YOU - it honestly means the world!) and it is this super woman and my ever supportive husband who are keeping my wheels on! Today I am giving thanks to them Also, I’ve just done another little restock of the website. www.afewfavouritethings.com.au
