Newsletter January 2025
Welcome to 2025!
Whew! The Christmas Rush is done and dusted and now we can think what we are going to do for the Year of the Wood Snake.
In Chinese culture, the snake is a greatly respected animal for its instinctive and adaptive nature. In 2025, the Year of the Wood Snake offers a chance for personal growth and success
We do not do Valentines or Mothers/Father’s Day here as we believe every time someone purchases from us is a celebration of love for themselves or someone else of loving kindness and good health.
January is a remarkably busy month with the engineering day job, so the Shop is much quieter. We only have a couple of new products coming on line this month with a few in testing as we live in what can be a very difficult environment with temperature and humidity in January and are usually catching up on things we make just for our family, like deodorants and face and body oils, testing some new thought bubbles that might become lines, and starting to look for ideas for Christmas 2025 corporate lines.
New Products
1. Orgone Generators
I have bought-in some orgone generators to enhance meditation practise. Genuine and natural crystals are used to make these 5cm x 5cm pyramids, Orgone is a combination of resin, metal shavings, copper and crystals. Every pyramid is unique, and photos are a representation of the product. We have chosen each pyramid carefully and suggest placing them on your meditation altar.
Orgone Generators are said to promote and protect Qi. The crystal stones absorb the negative energy and create a positive environment which lead to improved meditation and reduced stress. The orgonite pyramids are made with natural resin, real crystals, copper wire, chips stones crystals, and a feng shui crystal ball.
2. Re-Useable Make-Up Wipes (Face Scrubbies)
I have finally had the chance to sit down and make some face scrubbies, or make-up wipes. These are ecofriendly alternative to disposable cotton pads and come in a variety of colours and two cotton yarns, both from Australian companies
The first is organic cotton from a NSW woman owned business and will be $24.95 a set of four.
The second is a cotton variegated yarn from Bendigo Woollen Mills and will be $19.95 for a set of four.
Both are packaged in an organza bag and should be hand or machine washed in a wash bag then dried flat. I rinse mine by hand and let them dry in the bathroom and give them a machine wash when they need one.
Crochet is something that cannot be reproduced by machine, unlike most other textiles, so is labour intensive. Each set takes around an hour to make. Are they expensive? No, if you are paying for them to be made fairly. Are they worth it? Absolutely, if you want to reduce your consumption of disposables. Cared for well, they can last a couple of years, making you both environmental and cost savings.
Happy Australia Day, everyone.
