Make your own natural skincare

Sheryl from Mairangi Bay

So many nasties can be hidden in the products we put on our skin every day. Even those labeled 'natural' aren't always so natural...

So many nasties can be hidden in the products we put on our skin every day. Even those labeled 'natural' aren't always so natural...

And as we now know, what we put on our skin ends up in our body.

Chemicals that are commonly found in skin care products, like fragrance, phtalates and parabens can upset the delicate balance of hormones in our body and cause not so good things to happen.

So join me for a fun hands-on class Sunday 1 September 10am-12pm at my home in Mairangi Bay.

Learn about doTERRA essential oils and how easy it is to make your own super simple, natural skin care products for a fraction of the cost you would buy them at the store.

Cost is $30.

Go home with your own natural:
~face wash
~oil cleanser
~face polishing powder
~anti-aging moisturiser

Classes are small, so message or text me to book your seat ASAP.

And if you can't make it this time, message me and we can arrange another class time or gather a group of friends and I can come to you.


Learn how to live a more natural toxin-free life!

It's reincarnation as Campbells Bay Early Learning Centre is certainly striking and modern. It has been architecturally designed around the 1950s-built church, a heritage building, thus respecting its history and place in the community in a beautiful beachside location.

The philosophy of the centre draws on the practice of Emmi Pikler; respect and trust that the child can be the initiator and explorer of their own learning and Reggio Emilia; where children learn through their interests, social collaboration and investigation.

Daily meals are carefully planned with an onsite chef who caters to allergies and intolerances, and there is always a vegetarian alternative to their main meal.

Limited spaces available visit us at 220 Campbells Bay, or phone Alex and Hayley on 09 479 9090.

We'd love to show you around our exciting new learning centre!

Can you help us solve a mystery? 110-year-old photographs

The Team from Auckland Museum

We're hoping to find out who the people are in these 110-year-old photographs, and (if we're lucky) who the keen amateur photographer was. Could they be members of your family?

We're hoping to find out who the people are in these 110-year-old photographs, and (if we're lucky) who the keen amateur photographer was. Could they be members of your family?

The images were gifted to us in 2016 as glass plate negatives, after being initially purchased in the 1970s from Auckland's City Markets (now Aotea Square). We know nearly nothing about them but the photos give a few clues. They were taken in the early 1900s, mostly in Auckland but also across the North Island. There are also suggestions of the photographer’s links to the Auckland Jewish community.

We want to know more to help tell their stories. Do you recognise any of these people?

Contact us at pictorial@aucklandmuseum.com if you have any further clues. Please share with family and friends if you think they may be able to help!
