Maybe you read my previous posts about my big new venture, Bella Luna, making skin care products from local ingredients, lovely local ingredients, with no nasty petrochemicals, good for people and good for our planet..

Big news is I have applied for an AMP Do Your Thing Scholarship, I’m so excited, if I can get some extra $$ it will make it all happen faster, I have been working on it over the last couple of years, and I’d love to get it out there for people to use.

So watch this space, and if you like, you could even vote for me in the people’s choice award!  Oh and swing by my Facebook page, I’ll be looking for peeps to try some samples…

So it’s about time I made an update this big new thing of making and selling some beautiful skin care products…

Today I made another batch of my favourite cream, it’s a lemon and rose night cream, SO divine, it smells like a delicious lemon cheesecake when I’m blending it, oh so yum.

Looks good ahy?  All my products are made from natural ingredients, and use natural rather than synthetic preservative, are mostly organic, grown and crafted in New Zealand.  I have made some adjustments to the recipe and it will be one of the first products I will make available to you.  Can’t wait!

Just sorting out some pretty packaging and the whole media online launch thingee…  I’m also trying not to be too sidetracked into making more creams for myself and friends, I keep giving the stuff away for people to try.  Can’t help it, it’s exciting and I want to share it around!

I have been working on  a new venture, it’s very exciting to write about it and I suppose now I really need to.  My plans is to make beauty creams, from mostly locally produced organic ingredients.  Such as lovely olive, almond, rosehip and macadamia nut oil, plant and bees waxes, and beautiful essential oils like lemon and lavender.  I will have to source some really special ingredients like Shea butter and couple of other products that just don’t grow here, as well as organic coconut oil.

For the last year or two I have been making and perfecting my balms and creams, I love making them and it so good to work with such superior ingredients.  What’s also exciting, and partly why I’ll be writing more about it and sharing photos of my work and probably giving out samples (yes!  Lucky YOU!) I’m planning on applying for the AMP do you thing scholarship, it would make a huge difference if I could get a little extra cash to get it all off the ground, wheels move somewhat slowly for me these days with the kiddies an’ all.

Here are some jars I’m going to fill, I’m starting out with small jars so people can test them out, 15ml and 30ml, they are very small when it comes to labeling – but I have to start somewhere!

They will look good.
