LOW WASTE LIVING
Can you imagine living without a rubbish or recycling bin?
Imagine….
Never having to remember what day what bin goes out.
Removing the confusion about what goes into what bin.
Feeling good about reducing packaged goods in your life.
Well, it’s possible. And living bin free is what I call a Low Waste Lifestyle.
When I started searching in my early 20’s for solutions for how to live more sustainably on the Earth, waste reduction became my number 1 answer.
But living low waste wasn’t something that happened overnight. It’s been a progression of committed baby steps to waste freedom.
And now, nearly 20 years on, I am proud as punch to report our household can go over a year without the need to put out the kerbside rubbish or recycling bin.
Would you like to know how?
I truly hope so, because there’s nothing that brings my soul more joy than sharing with people what’s possible when it comes to waste reduction.
During my Low Waste Living Made Easy talk I’ll walk you through my waste reduction journey and hopefully inspire you how easy low waste living can be.
My goal isn’t to convert you, it’s to inspire you and empower you with hints, tips and resources so you can get results in a fraction of the time it took me should this be a lifestyle choice you’d like to pursue.
I’d love you to discover the many benefits of living a low waste lifestyle that can include saving money AND time (our most valuable resource), plus improve your health AND the environments… now what’s not to love about that?!

Now that’s worth celebrating!!
BEESWAX WRAPS
Beeswax wraps are a fabulous sustainable, reusable alternative to plastic cling wrap that have numerous uses and are an asset to every home.
Making beeswax wraps is easy… but understanding what ingredients/methodology to use, why, and in what quantity is an entirely different matter!
Get a thorough introduction to beeswax wrap use, care and maintenance, plus learn how easy it is to make your own.
You’ll see a live demonstration of my favourite technique (which has been determined after doing over 50 experiments) which is not only super quick and easy but also produces zero waste.
A selection of wrap making supplies will be available for purchase for those wanting to go home and get making straightaway.

INTRODUCTION TO SOAP MAKING
Would you like to learn the addictive craft of homemade soap making?
Soap making is science, but adding natural scent, texture and colour is art. It’s an incredibly practical, forever creative skill that’s extremely addictive, and empowers you to know exactly what you’re putting on your body and down the drain.
To get you started, learn the simplest soap recipe of them all – saponified coconut oil, which can be adjusted to make hair, body and laundry soap. And best of all, it produces a lovely solid bar of soap, so no mushy mess on the side of your sink!
Did you know many store bought soaps contain animal fat, toxic fragrances, Orangutan damaging palm oil and other nasties?
But it doesn’t have to be this way! Making soap is incredibly easy and cheap, once you know how and have an understanding of the foundations. At this presentation you’ll see how easy it is to get started with a live soap making demonstration on the day.

NATURAL HAIR CARE
Learn how cheap and easy it is to make your own natural hair care products that will leave your locks looking luscious.
Hair can form a large part of our identity and having it look nice can be important. But what if those store bought products are keeping us hostage by making us wash more often than needed? Or giving us itchy scalps? Or.. the list goes on.
Before changing to natural hair care products I had to wash my hair daily otherwise it’d be a gross oily mess, but not anymore! I can now easily get away with once per week washing.
I’ve learnt and tried so many different natural products over the years. I’ve even shaved my head to start from scratch with not dying or washing my hair.
I’ll walk you through the lessons I’ve learned and share my knowledge and experience of homemade products that include:
- Wash
- Condition
- Treat
- Style
- Colour
(Make and take option available)
NATURAL SKIN CARE

What we use on our body matters. With the skin being our largest organ, why not choose to care for it with natural goodness that will leave you, your body and the environment feeling great.
With just a handful of ingredients, most of which you likely already have in the pantry, you’ll be amazed at the body caring goodies you can whip up for your skin.
I’ll share my years worth of knowledge and experience on caring for the skin naturally, including homemade recipes for:
- Wash
- Scrub
- Tone
- Moisturise
- Treat
Best of all, not only do you know exactly what ingredients you’re using on a daily basis, but you can also rest easy knowing no animals have been harmed – because fluffy bunnies prefer pats and cuddles over being poked and prodded for the sake of our beauty.
