Natural, Handcrafted Soap for sale
Hi! My name is Laura:-)
I homeschool along with my four siblings, and have been making soap for a few years now.
At the moment, I am selling Charcoal + Lavender soap, and Lavender soap. As the document says, the blocks are $4 each, unless they are in a hand-written gift bag, which is $6.
Sometime soon, I will probably make a batch of Lemongrass soap, which would be sold for the same prices.
Here is a little blurb about the benefits of lavender and charcoal:
LAVENDER
Gently cleanses the skin without stripping it of moisture, allowing its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties to combat pimples and skin irritation. These properties also make lavender soap useful in treating skin infections, scabies, and eczema.
CHARCOAL
Helps absorb excess oil.
Helps prevent breakouts.
Tightens pores.
Makes skin firmer.
Exfoliates skin.
Brightens complexion.
Exfoliates dry, dead skin that can lead to flakes and dandruff.
Deeply cleans.

Small grey rabbit found
A small grey rabbit seems to be living at our place quite a bit in Coleridge place. We have been unable to catch it but it leaves plenty of evidence around that it's here. 2 children recently enquired about their lost rabbit but have lost their details.

Respite care when you need it
From rehabilitation after a hospital stay, to a little extra support, whether it’s for a few nights or a few weeks - respite care provides temporary care in a range of circumstances.
If you still live in your own home, a short stay at one of our care centres could be a welcome break from your usual routine.
Our respite care is offered at rest home-level care, hospital and specialist dementia care. In some circumstances, we may be able to offer you respite care in a serviced apartment.
If you've been thinking about moving to a Ryman care centre, spending time with us in respite care is a great way for you to experience the lifestyle in our villages before making your decision.
