Natural Perfume blending class
Originally perfumes were all made from essential oils and other aromatics that were distilled from nature.
These days however they are not so natural :( with most being created with a complex blend of petroleum derived chemicals.
Many conventional perfumes contain over a dozen chemicals that do not have to be disclosed on the label.
Among them are chemicals associated with hormone disruption and allergic reactions, and many substances that have not been assessed for safety in personal care products.
Scary huh!
Especially when you think this is what you every day may be putting on your skin, every day what you are breathing in and every day what your family and kids are breathing in.
Again scary!
So why not make your own?
Come along to my class and learn how super simple it is to use doTERRA essential oils to blend up your own signature scent that is not only 100% natural, it can also do positive things for your emotions, your hormones and your health - with 0% side effects.
Win. Win. Win.
The class is $30 and you will learn how to choose essential oils that complement each other to make three different personalized perfume blends to take home and try out for yourself.
Next class is this Sunday 18th August at 10am - 12pm.
Classes are small, so message me to book your seat ASAP.
And if you can't make it this time, message me and we can arrange another class time or gather a group of friends and I can come to you.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
