Join me at the Handmade Movement craft fair this weekend!

Hi! It’s so great to be back! I feel pumped and renewed! It feels like this year is going to be BIG and my heart is wide open for all that it may bring!!

Last year, I had asked you to help guide the blog’s direction by answering a few questions and you guys really came through! This little family that we’re creating is just the best! You all are so supportive and just hungry for a more connected, meaningful and natural lifestyle. It’s really inspiring and my aim is to help you along that path. I’ll be working on lots of new recipes, tips and ideas for you. If you haven’t filled out the survey yet – please do, I’d love to hear from you too!

Next week I’ll share more about what to expect this coming year on Little Green Dot, but first let me tell you about an exciting event happening here in Singapore.

My partner and I at Green Living will be participating in the Singapore Indie Craft Fair. There will be tons of great crafters selling their handmade goods, which will be so fun to see. Our concept is a little different: instead of selling you a product that we’ve made  - we’re setting up a booth with all the natural ingredients you’ll need to make your own! People have asked us in our workshops to sell the products that we teach, but our idea is that you’ll get the product, plus the recipe and the know-how, and you’ll never need to buy it from us again. Not a normal business model, I know, but we’re here to shake things up!

It was hard for us to choose which products to show, but we have narrowed it down to our favorites – things that we use and find really effective.

For home:

Infused Vinegar & Infused Baking Soda - you don’t need toxic chemicals to simply clean your home! We’ll show you how to make your own natural cleaning products that work wonders!

For skin:

Powdered Cleanser - choose your own mix of herbs and grains to nourish and cleanse your skin.
Infused Oil - have you heard of the Oil Cleansing Method? It’s amazing! We’ll show you how to make it and use it at home!
Natural Deodorant - the skin under our arms is the thinnest on our body and can absorb up to 100% of toxins! Natural deodorants can be really expensive. There’s another option – we’ll show you how to make your own!

Our goal is to teach you how simple and fun it can be to make our own products, it’s a great way to reduce a lot of the excess that we buy and use everyday.  I’ll tell you: when I walk into a store now and see a row of conventional products, I get this sense of empowerment knowing that I don’t need to buy it – I can make it! It’s so fulfilling connecting with these natural ingredients and knowing how to care for my skin, home & family. It makes me really happy and I hope to share that with you too!

I’m really excited and I hope to see you there. Please do pop by and say hello!

Happy New Year – let’s make it a great one!
