Four unique fragrances compile the Aromatherapy Synergy range using natural blends and each with their own characteristics:
Memories – a blend of rose, geranium and ylang ylang; in love again- a sensual blend of neroli, vanilla and sandalwood, pick me up – a rejuvenating blend of mandarin, petitgrain, rosemary and lavender and absolute dreams – a mellow blend of lavender, sandalwood, cedarwood and orange.
Each set contains a body lotion which is easily absorbed and formulated with sweet almond oil for pure hydration, and keeps skin feeling soft and nourished. A gentle vegetable soap enriched with certified organic rosehip and avocado oils, each variant has its own unique scented blends and is packaged in a beautifully artworked soap box.

Winner of the SuperVery necklace

skull pendantMe and Jo are feeling like regular Santa Clauses right now, with so many prizes being given away to you all. We truly love to though and are grateful to the lovely people who donate prizes and to the lovely people who read our site.

Isabel!

Isabel, we’ll email you shortly for your address details. Congratulations. We are all so jealous of you, and you have a pretty name too.

Winners of the Durvillea Wine

We loved all your fantastic outfits that you created inspired by seaweed, but of course, there can only be one winner. Or rather, in this case, four. Here’s Meg‘s verdict (and wow, we’re really glad that we didn’t have to choose!):

All the girls ranked their top three and then I assigned them points. The winner was Megan, and the three runners-up ere the first Katie (with the clam purse), Sue, and Nenuphars. We really liked the seaweedy hairstyle in Katie’s entry but the dress Megan picked was just perfect. I thought it was cute that Nenuphar’s included a bike – Jane has one not dissimilar – but hers is pink. We also liked that Sue and Nenupahrs include sensible but glamorous hats for the Marlborough summer.

Thank you all so much for your beautiful entries, and especial thanks to the very quaffable Durvillea Wines for supplying us with such lovely prizes to give away. We’re raising a glass in your direction, and will be making a special trip out to Thorndon New World so we can stock up and drink you all summer long!

Reminder: Enter our Durvillea competition NOW

You want a half case of lovely lovely wine from Durvillea, you gotta get your entries in before the end of tomorrow!
