23.01.2022 Intoxicating. The best word to describe our sexiest natural perfume "Be Loved". Rich and sweet jasmine blends with Australian fragonia which is known to be one of the best oils for restoring balance. Heavy with floral tones thanks to rose and geranium. And rounded out with vanilla to give it depth, this blend will help you feel strong, powerful, connected to yourself and sensual.

19.01.2022 This rings so true for myself. It is easy to get caught up in global circumstances and large scale fights. But the reality is, until we start changing the way we think, what we believe and how we act, we can't change the world. It has to start within our hearts and our souls and become a deep seeded desire that manifests in each moment of our days. We can then motivate and influence change in others and spread our beliefs to fight for a better world. But we need to believe in ourselves first. Change is beautiful.

18.01.2022 Do you want to know the best way to care for your soap bars? 1. Choose the oldest and driest bar of soap you have. The more 'cured' the bar, the longer it will last. 2. Have two bars and alternate between them. This will give them a chance to dry out in between uses. 3. Use a washer or bath puff to distribute the soap rather than the bar directly. You will use less and it will last longer. 4. Store them on a rack with lots of airflow. If you don't have a rack, put them on the... side so the smallest area is touching the solid surface. 5. Choose a bar with high quality ingredients. Rice bran oil is popular but cheap, refined and imported. It is also water soluble which means your soap will wash away faster. Choose from our range of tried and tested soap bars for small Australian businesses. https://butterflyandbloom.com.au/product-category/bath/

18.01.2022 As Hannah from @augustandpoppy said today, "Be kind always". I received a fairly rude, unwarranted and unsolicited email today from a company that honestly shook me. I felt belittled and really questioned what on earth I was even doing running a business. Thanks to a great community of women, they offered me kind words, good perspective and a little chuckle. But it really does go to show the impact your words can have on others. ... You never really know what someone is going through. And I really don't want to think what might happen if someone else that didn't have a strong network if support around them contacted this company.. They might crumble devastatingly. As Hannah said, "think before you speak'. And just like Mum taught me, if you can't say anything nice don't say anything. Be kind always. . . . . #wednesdaywellness #mentalhealthawareness #bekindalways #butterflyandbloomblends

18.01.2022 Oh hi there! So I thought today that I’d introduce myself for those of you who don’t know too much about me OR for those wanting to know more, so here goes! 1. I am a registered nurse and love education more than anything. 2. I always wanted to have a farm with horses, cows, sheep, chickens, dogs and cats. 3. But I am absolutely terrified of birds so not sure I can do the chicken thing! 4. I am currently working three jobs as well as Mum to 4 year old twins - so may be a lit...tle crazy 5. I value family and time with them over everything else in the world. Thank you so much for being here and sharing this business journey with me. I value each and everyone of you and am always happy to answer any questions you have.

17.01.2022 I am so excited to be now stocking our very own beeswax candle range. Made with 100% natural beeswax and NOTHING else that is sustainably sourced from Australian beehives. Beeswax provided wonderful health benefits that you don't get from other forms of wax including paraffin, palm oil wax or soy candles. And here are our reasons why we won't stock any other types of candles. Paraffin wax is a by-product of petrochemical fuels. It is the black sludge that has been rejected b...y the oil industry that is then bleached. A known carcinogen chemical is then added to form solid blocks. Paraffin is often used blended with other waxes to create a stronger scent. Palm oil wax is absolutely not a sustainable choice with irresponsible plantation expansion devastating critical habitats and threatening wildlife. It is often mixed with other waxes as a cheap option Soy wax is made from the soy plant. However, it is not natural. The soybean matter is separated from the oil which is then refined and bleached. The oil is then heated and chemically distilled with hexane, bleached with chlorine, deodorized with boric acid and then hydrogenated. It is also estimated that soy exports have displaced forests in Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay and Paraguay making sustainably sourced soy not particularly accessible. There are also major concerns about the use of pesticides and fertilisers within the industry. In order for a soy candle to be labelled as "Pure Soy Candle' it only has to be 51% soy and may actually be blended with paraffin or palm wax. So if you are truly passionate about making changes to more sustainable, healthier options, consider you old love affair with scented candles and make the swap to Beeswax. Our planet and our bodies will love us for it! https://butterflyandbloom.com.au/product-category/candles/

16.01.2022 Our children have decided with the change of seasons that 5:15am is a good wake up time. They go to sleep about 8pm and don't nap (or slow down) during the day. How much sleep do your little ones gets? Is this enough at nearly 4 years old? This mumma wants a sleep in! .... . . . This gorgeous scent is my saviour. Sweet, refreshing citrus with Australian lemon myrtle. One of my favourites for sure! Coming Soon See more

15.01.2022 Monday Motivation for us all. I honestly think David Attenborough is one of our planets most prized environmental warriers. At 94 he continues to fight for our world in a way no one else really has. Whenever one of his documentaries come on I am instantly transfixed by his voice and the imagery. His references to the impact of human society on the natural world are lessons for us all and I really want my children to start learning more from him.... Fun Fact: Did you know at least 20 species and genera have been named in his honour? What other environmental documentaries do you love to watch with your children? . . . . Thanks wikipedia for the fun facts!

14.01.2022 Looking to start leading a low tox life but not sure where to begin? Start with eliminating phthalates, known endocrine disrupters of which there are a few diff...erent types in the family. Now I say too often because I’m a realist. You’re going to be in a public restroom one day with the unavoidable psssht deodorizing sprays in there. A taxi might have one of those horrible dangly air fresheners (ironic name!!) 100% avoidance leads to freak outs so let’s just do our best, right? Phthala-what now? Phthalates, are a ‘plasticizer compound’ that make fragrances last longer and they make certain plastics uber bendy / soft / stretchy think of those kids goopy coloured gels and ‘ monster slime’ from a toy shop or a cheap puzzle play mat or a PVC raincoat or contact paper or vinyl flooring (not all new vinyl flooring though so check with manufacturer). Phthalates are used in hundreds of consumer products too many to list but consider the range from raincoats to nail polish to conditioners, scented candles, yoga mats and even cute little rubber duckies. Sure, not all variants of these things contain them, but most do. I thought I’d share a few more reasons why you shouldn’t want them near you let alone in stuff you put on or in your body. No need to panic. Just time to change things one step at a time. Tag someone who needs to read this blog.

01.01.2022 What a beautiful moment RSPCA Queensland said this brushtail possum was brought to its wildlife hospital after being caught in a drain pipe. When she was unde...r anesthetic her carers realised she was missing a baby (she had an engorged teat). The wildlife ambos were able to go back and find her joey, and mum and bub were successfully reunited later that night. : RSPCA QLD
