Introducing Olivia Bond, a Sydney-based private jeweller and gemmologist specialising in high-end diamond jewellery and engagement rings.  Mrs Bond started off studying speech pathology at university and is the perfect example of how sometimes life veers you off into an unpredicted course , and in this case in the direction of her first love… Diamonds! (sorry Mr Bond).   

Introducing our new series #MotherMuse, showcasing women in our community, who have a passion for their work, family and life. They have inspired us along the way, and we hope they inspire you too.  Our first ever #MotherMuse is Jessica Sepel of @jshealth – Jess is a Clinical Nutritionist, bestselling health author and owner of JSHealth Vitamins.

Currently, we are amid a global pandemic of a scale that none of us have lived through before. COVID-19 means it’s likely you’re going to be inclined to spend more time at home (if circumstances prevail) than usual. In the interest of your physical and mental health, we’ve compiled a list of things we’ll be doing to curb the boredom and loneliness.

If you’re feeling bewildered and confused about the movement towards natural skincare so were we, at first. Now that it’s second nature to us, and we are building a brand on this value-set, we thought it might be time to share our experience moving towards clean skincare.

By now, we hope you’re likening our blog to easily digestible, necessary information that is non-blamey and educational. Which is why this week we’re shedding some light onto the world of endocrine disruptors, what the hell an endocrine actually is, and how to avoid the disruptors because they are, well…disruptive. 

On a serious note, as we emerge into a new decade with more pressure on our planet than ever before, bushfires rage across the continent of Australia at an unprecedented rate, and the need for climate action has never felt more urgent. In this week’s episode on the blog, we’re talking all things climate change, what is actually happening to our planet, and how we can take tangible action to slow global warming down.

There are a lot of sunscreen myths floating about on the internet, which is why it’s important to find trustworthy sources and take everything with a grain of salt (except ours, because MOTHER knows best). In this week’s instalment of bloggin’, we wanted to dive into the world of SPF and unearth some facts you may not know about what the number on the bottle really means.   

This week we’re talking about the meaning of reef friendly SPF, and what it actually means to be reef friendly, other than just calling it your mate.  Protect yo’selves while protecting our earth too. They go hand-in-hand, people!

Facial Oils: Good or bad? Breakout inducing or eliminating? We are big supporters of all the oils (good thing, considering MOTHER SPF is completely oil-based), and believe each have unique properties which help maintain a healthy skin micro-biome. If you’re part of the oily-skin club and have sworn off using any oil-based products, it may be time to rethink your approach...

For our first post, we want to get back to basics, and explain the difference between Physical and Chemical SPF’s. It can get confusing out there, figuring out what’s best for you. Which is why making informed decisions is a BASIC, VERY IMPORTANT human right – and we want to help facilitate!
