25.01.2022 These are a few of my favourite things for mum I didn’t advertise Mother’s Day gifts this year and despite this it has been heartwarming that people have messaged me with their orders for Mother’s Day and supported my small local business during this time. I thank you and it is appreciated ... Even though we are a few days out, it’s not too late to get something for mum. As long as you place your order by today and you live locally (on the East side), we can offer a door drop or local pick up. Just incase you haven’t had the chance or struggled what to buy for mum or your mum figure yet, here are some of the popular gifts that have been bought. Amor bath bomb $11.95 Packed with a a divine pure essential oil blend with rosegeranium, French pink clay, rose petals, cocoa butter & magnesium salts.

25.01.2022 Sometimes we just need some nurturing. How do you do this for yourself? It’s such an important part of our wellbeing that we often neglect with our busy lives. ... There are many ways we can do this and through experience I have found that so many of us respond so positively to the power and essence of aromatherapy. Using a beautifully scented essential oil blend can give you that personal nurturing hug. Roll onto your heart and wrists and breathe in the love. Or aromatise your space using a diffuser and deeply breathe in the nurturing essence. Simple daily rituals to transform you physically and energetically

24.01.2022 Packaged birthday gifts, for special people. I really enjoy & revel in making boxes up and adding the extras like dried rosebuds. When I throw in the dried rosebuds I can’t help but laugh as I am reminded of the movie Love Actually when Rowan Atkinson aka Mr Bean playing his part when he is making up a gift box in a department store . Lots of joy and laughter has gone into this box

24.01.2022 A special order for a special lady who’s having a tough time

22.01.2022 Clearing out stock!!! Beautiful apothecary jars- only $2.50!! The glass is thick, not fine, cheap and easily breakable. This is all I have left in the basket ... If you’re into making gifts, soaks or like nice jars here are some for you

21.01.2022 What essentials do you carry in your bag? In my hand bag I'm always carrying my essentials. My lippies, my phone, purse, tissues, reading glasses as I can't read fine print (and I read lots of fine print when shopping) and a few of my pulse point roll ons - my necessities ... Sometimes it varies which pulse point roll ons I carry with me depending on what I am feeling and needing at the time. I love carrying my little aromatherapy pocket rockets. When I am out and about I take one out of my bag and roll it onto my wrists, inhale deeply and I instantly feel better. That is the magic of carrying aromatic plant based perfume. It's clean and pure with no side effects, and it has the ability to transform your energy in an instant, which is so essential for your emotional wellbeing

17.01.2022 All things French lavender I love lavender, it’s my go to for so many ailments. It also has the ability to balance & soften a blend. Interestingly this is what it also does for your skin, amongst many other wonderful attributes Then you have others who don’t like lavender, it reminds them of their grandmother or it’s an old persons smell! Is that you?! ... I don’t just make all things lavender like this beautiful Christmas gift We have many options and aromas to cater for everyone’s likes @allison_marie_croft

13.01.2022 If you haven’t already heard, there are some major transformations happening at Mahdena. A big part of this change involves closing our beautiful retail store at Norwood on Friday December 20th. Yes it is true and a little sad that we won’t be operating in this beautiful space I have called home since Mahdena’s humble beginnings in 2003. Changes in life are constant & inevitable and this has been the best choice to support my upcoming projects with the business, as well as ...balancing life outside of work. Don’t worry because Mahdena will CONTINUE to exist and operate, and our products will still be available to you. You can still easily order your custom products by email, Facebook, Instagram, text or phone. You can still buy our products online or place an order with me directly. Our products will also be available in selected places around Adelaide. I am still offering custom skincare and aromatherapy consults, and the birthday parties, but the parties will be in a different format. Do come in to the store before December 20th (next Friday - eeek) as I am offering 20% off all Mahdena products (instore and online) until this date. (Excludes custom products and excludes any products without the Mahdena logo). If product lines sell out, I may or may not replenish these, depending on time and stock availability. I will also be discontinuing some lines to streamline what I offer. I would like to say thank you and that I am grateful to you for supporting my small business. It’s people like you who keep our business open. Pop in, take advantage of our sale and I hope to see you before Xmas! Aromatically & with Dina @allison_marie_croft

12.01.2022 Is there anything that can help me with my unbearable period cramps? Dysmenorrhea is a common problem that many young teens & women experience which can cause cramping, low back pain, bloating, nausea, leg pain & fatigue to name a few. There are a number of factors that play part in a holistic approach to painful periods. We need to look at an individual's entire constitution & lifestyle as we are all very different. ... We can look at increasing foods high in magnesium to help relax smooth muscles. Eat more anti-inflammatory nutrients from foods like dark leafy greens, berries, & omega 3 EFAS ( pumpkin seeds, walnuts, flaxseeds, tofu, salmon) to help reduce PMS. Reducing sugar, dairy & carbs and eating more whole grains like barley, quinoa & whole wheat flour can help reduce the production of prostaglandins. Exercise is also a beneficial way to help increase blood flow and release endorphins, happy feel good hormones which help lessen the pain we feel. Accupuncture. Try what works for you. The whole aim is to focus on the actual cause of the cramps, which is inflammation instead of suppressing a normal functioning system of the body. As an aromatherapist my viewpoint & understanding of the application of essential oils through inhalation & massage is a proven way to provide symptom relief (nausea, pain) while also helping states of the mind such as irritability, depression & anger. Abdominal massage with key essential oils choices can significantly increase the therapeutic effects. German chamomile: anti-inflammatory, analgesic Fennel: anti- spasmodic, restorative Geranium: analgesic, anti- depressant, ant- inflammatory Our Menstrual Cramp Crusader roller oil blend has been intentionally made and put into a roller bottle for ease of use and that it can easily travel with you, in your bag & applied as needed. Especially useful for young teens. The scent of the oils, the application of the oils, followed by the comfort & warmth of a wheat bag can provide some instant relief and the therapeutic effects of the oils will absorb into your body for longer lasting pain relief.

09.01.2022 Did you know that we’ve been refilling customers bottles with product since 2003? Through conversations with many of you, I realised that I needed to let you all know! We can refill your essential oil bottles, shampoo, conditioner bodywash & face toners. ... All bottles must be cleaned & air dried before refilling , with the exception of face toner bottles. Face products like face moisturisers, cream & milk cleansers & face exfoliants can’t be refilled but you can re-use your jars & bottles or recycle them.

Natural SPF 30 UVA & UVB broad spectrum Suitable for babies 6 months +

08.01.2022 Cleansing is such an important part of our skin care ritual that sometimes can be overlooked, or rushed. Missing this essential part of your self care regime can make all the difference in the overall health and appearance of your skin. Daily facial cleansing not only leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed, but more importantly removes excess oil, make up, sweat, dead skin cells and pollutants that accumulate on your skin throughout the day. If we don’t cleanse our ski...n properly it can lead to breakouts, premature ageing, dehydration, lack lustre complexion and blotchiness. I have seen this with my clients who tend to miss this part from time to time. It does show up on your skin! A cleansed skin is more readily able to absorb the goodness from your products such as your serums and moisturisers into the deeper the layers of your skin for maximum effectiveness. This ensures your skin is properly hydrated and prevents premature ageing. Dehydrated skin looks and feels lack lustre, dull and more wrinkled. I have often mentioned to clients that in the evening your skin is repairing and restoring, so going to sleep without cleansing deprives your skin of oxygen which is needed to help regenerate and absorb vital nutrients for your skin’s overall health. Choose the right cleanser. Something that is plant based, gentle and that suits your skin type. A cleanser not suited to your skin can lead to issues such as irritation, blotchiness or dehydration A cleanser gentle on the eyes! The nourish cream cleanser pictured above is perfect for the removal of eye make-up and is gentle and non irritating. If you are a make up user, cleanse twice at night. The first cleanse removes sebum, make-up, sunscreen and pollutants that accumulate on your face from the day which act as a barrier. The second cleanse works deeper into your pores and removes any surface impurities that the first cleanser may have left behind.
