With Fathers Day not this Sunday but next, here are a few ideas to spoil your father or father figure this September!....

 

Timely is the introduction of a beautiful men's range that now graces the shelves of Nest's dispensary! Triumph & Disaster is proudly a New Zealand brand created by Dion Nash. The name itself was inspired by a poem called "IF" by Rudyard Kipling that was given to Dion as a 13 year old boy by his own Father. Simple, botanical, natural...Triumph & Disaster is made with no parabens, petrochemicals or silicones which makes it perfect for the use of the man that you love...Absolutely no reason now for the guys not to be caring for their skin considering there is such a blokey product available!!....:)

 Time to get their game face on with cleansers, moisturisers, scrubs and shaving creams...

 The Ultimate gift box including a T&D natural bristle shaving brush.

 More Ideas for Dad...

 A modern twist on the ol handkerchief...

Introducing Nest of Pambula! Designed and created by three lovely sisters in NSW, how could I say no to this beautiful range with such a name!! Despite  the label, I have to say that I am in love with the stunning images they have used for this divine range. Available in pendants, earrings and rings, I'm sure you will find it difficult to choose which one you adore the most!

How I ADORE quotes and prints that have little sayings! If you are a regular viewer of my blog I think you could tell :) Introducing....  Today Sunshine! A beautiful range of graphic prints that have been designed and printed by a very clever Brisbane girl named Suzie Porter. Here is just a teaser of Suzie's work with many more in store  at Nest....

Happy Sunday!

Clean Teens!

A post I received on my Facebook page yesterday from a gorgeous young lady has prompted me to write about how important introducing the "Jacqueline Evans" skincare range to your teen could be! Not only is it a perfect, simple routine that will play a beneficial role in the long term care of their skin but  will also give you the peace of mind that your babies aren't absorbing the abundance of dangerous chemicals that are discretely hidden in so many products these days! Did you know that recent research has found that young women may be absorbing up to as many as 500 chemicals a day through their beauty routines!! What long term effects are these going to have?? It really does frighten me!!

 

I know I will sound JUST like my mother! lol.., but oh, if only I knew then what I do today! :)  Even though I was fortunate to have started working in a career of beauty therapy at 15, I haven't  always been diligent! In fact there was a time {around having babies, when ALL "you" time goes on the back burner :)}when I practically used nothing at all!! One major tip I tell all young ones however, as well as your face,  put sunscreen on the back of your hands!! As I sit here typing looking at the age spots and sun damage that have begun to appear, how I wish I had adopted this practice  at an earlier age!

 

So back to the teens... Teach them the basic routine of cleansing, toning and moisturising. Applying sunscreen {Hunting for a more natural one as we speak!}to the face and hands and drumming it in that if you do the work now {and just as importantly, feed their bodies well on the inside}, you will hopefully benefit later!  Not always easy an easy task as you tell this to  the beautiful young lady with flawless skin or the young man that declares that the junk food he eats makes no difference, however  a wonderful legacy nonetheless  that   you can share with your children... In later life I'm sure they will thank you :)
