We Won! Gala Awards 2017

We Won! Gala Awards 2017

We have just returned from The Reed Gift Fair at the brand new ICC Sydney Exhibition Centre Darling Harbour. As always it was great to launch our latest creations and meet up with our wholesale customers both existing and new.

Harvest Launch

This time we launched our Harvest Wellness Cleansing Bars. More on this to come in future posts. Also we had metal candle jars added to our existing Equilibrium & Summer Holiday Collections. You can check out a sneak preview of these here.

Fun at the Fair

One of the highlights of the Sydney Fair is the Gift and Life Instyle (GALA) Awards dinner. We were especially excited to attend the dinner this year as we were Finalists again, this time in the Body, Bath & Fragrance category with our Flourish Organics collection.
