How are you going in Iso world? We were so happy to have the first stage of lifted restrictions kick in last week and YES we had family and friends over to a home cooked meal and some wonderful engaging conversation around BC (before COVID) and AC (after COVID).
How is the new norm going to be for us all? What will we choose to keep from our Iso days and what will we choose to do differently AC? I am sure everyone has had these conversations and I am hearing many familiar themes – more family and friend time, more home cooked meals, more walking in nature, less stuff, more experiences. One of my definite ‘new normals’ is to share more of what I have learnt and know and continue to learn daily on HOW to live a more sustainable and sustaining life.
Get your Time Back and Save the Planet!!!
Balancing work, family, and selfcare was not easy BC. Funny how the lock down has forced us to slow down and do things differently and even balance more with children at home alongside your work commitments from the home office. One funny thing I have noticed is MORE DISHES to wash. There seems to be endless meal prep and dishes to do!!!! PHEW!! Roll on back to school packed lunches and a salad at the office.
So when you finally have guests over for a meal this weekend, forget the dishes and go Compostable Plates and other fantastic sustainable wares from our friends at Going Green Solutions (www.goinggreensolutions.com.au). We would love to know where you get your eco-friendly catering ware from?? What a great way to get some of your time back and save the planet while you are at it.
Keep Calm with Bush Blend
Yes.. some days have been sent to test us all during Iso. Everyone sharing the same space, all trying to achieve different things and sometimes the general running of the household becomes a real chore….The one thing I love turning to when I need to take a deep breath and be thankful for all the positive things in my life is our Ecoluv Room Spray. It is truly beautiful. The superfine mist of gorgeous natural essential oils – Eucalyptus, Lemon Myrtle and Lemon-Scented Gum – have uplifting, calming and relaxing properties and can be sprayed anywhere in your home for a beautiful lasting effect. The bonus is they also have antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties.
Other uses for BUSH BLEND Room Spray and Concentrate for Spreading the Calm.
- Put one capful of Concentrate in water in your oil burner
- Put one capful into a pot of softly steaming water on your pot belly or slow combustion fire for a humidifying effect
- Spray in your bedroom before sleep

- Take in your car with an Ecoluv Microfibre to sanitise your hands and car steering wheel and door handles
Reminder
For those of you who have our cloth sets and have asked again how to launder – Here you go:
LAUNDERING YOUR CLOTHS
At the end of every day, wash all your cloths in a hot water wash with good detergent, to remove all dirt, bacteria and virus caught the microfibre. Put your mirror cloths in a separate ‘Wash Bag’ to keep them lint free. Dry them in the sun for best results or on a clothes rack. Every 3-6 months you can boil the cloths for 20 minutes for very deep clean and sanitise.
IMPORTANT
- DO NOT – Use Bleach
- DO NOT – Use Softeners
- DO NOT – Use a low-quality washing powder with fillers and softeners that will clog up the microfibres
- DO NOT – Use a Dryer
If you look after your cloths as we suggest, they will last 2-3 years in your home. When they finally get too thin, they will stop working and you will need a new set.
Thank you once again to all our wonderful clients who we love and care for
and hope to see you all back soon AC 😊
Take care, stay calm, take time to reflect and find some positives from this amazing time in our lives and decide how you are going to BE at the other end.
