bought/gift/made /06

Another round of bought/gift/made to share :)

In the bought category, Tamanu Oil. I wanted to make sure to use this oil for a few months before I gave a recommendation. I'm a third of the way through the 30ml jar and in that time, I've been applying it to a scar on my leg and my problematic chin area. Previously I was using rosehip oil, which I loved but someone mentioned Tamnau oil on the vegan beauty page I follow so I thought I would give it a try. The very first week, I wasn't instantly sold, it has a slightly different texture/colour to rose hip (although that might be dependent on the supplier!) and I'm definitely a creature of routine. 

Now that I'm a few months in, I'm converted and would buy this again, even over rose hip oil. I noticed my scar lighten significantly (although I was using rose hip diligently for at least a year so perhaps Tamanu just swept in at the right moment!). My face is also much clearer although I did go on Macca root at the same time - just as a disclaimer.  I would love to hear if other people have had personal experiences with Tamanu?

I had a few scrap pieces of wood left over from my pallet bookcase so I was able to make sure they didn't go to waste!

And lastly, I had two delightful postcards show up in my mail box, from my lovely friend Teruko and her family :)

  2. Oh my gosh I love your wooden crystal holder but I love even more how you didn't want to waste any wood and made something practical with it. Love!

    1. I'm trying to focus at that moment on not wasting and yet not hoarding(!!) and also trying to do things straight away, although all these things are sometimes super challenging!
