SOLD: Beautiful Happyzine

Ok if there as ever a great reason to join Club Happyzine – this is it!

I interviewed Golden Bay herbalist and owner of Arohanui Botanicals Emily Van Oosterom a while back for the Nelson Mail and was very inspired by the fact that she uses rongoa Maori, native medicinal plants, in her herbal skin care range.

“It had been years since I’d been able to use off-the-shelf creams. I started making myself little mixtures, and based on my herbal knowledge, I put in some herbal extracts. I made really clean recipes with no synthetic ingredients – organic oils.”

And for those of you who need it (ahem, I must admit I am slightly pleased) Emily is giving away two bottles of Elixir Vitae – which is, among other things, an anti-aging serum.

Here’s all you need to know about Elixir Vitae:

Active botanicals including sea buckthorn, black currant and pomegranate provide antioxidant and anti-ageing magic to help turn back the clock.

On its own or added to your daily moisturiser, it is an essential addition to your routine.
