Nourishment comes with a change of season
(and a beautifully wrapped box full of organic, natural, toxic-free goodies for you and your home delivered to your door)
Just as Mother Nature changes her environment four times a year (or sometimes four times a day for us Melburnians), raw + pure are ready to nourish you with a delivery of organic, natural, toxic-free beauty and home products.
Before each change of season comes along, Danielle Davey, founder and owner of raw+pure, plans and puts together a seasonal collection of full size beauty, body and home products together with a plethora of samples of the same description all for just $59 + $10 postage. Also, as a raw+pure seasonal collection recipient, you’ll be sent exclusive online discounts to shop for any of the samples you may have tried and liked in the process.
So what was in the raw + pure autumn collection? I wasn’t short of being disappointed. You know how good it is when you receive any sort of package? Well, times that by about 100!
The RRP of these products alone, combined, comes to $112.80.
The raw+pure collection serves as a wonderful seasonal treat for you, a friend or partner (guys, you reading this?). Besides the affordability factor (which I love, as I like to say, ‘everyone deserves to be nourished’), you can rest assured that the products coming your way have been carefully selected to not only compliment the season but your body and wellbeing, as we also change through each season.
I can’t wait to find out what’s in the winter collection! Thanks Danielle for a truly welcome and nourishing experience. The raw+pure collection lives on even four weeks after delivery. Hand cream in the car, body oil in full use, rosehip oil far from even looking like it’s touched and the candle…well the candle smelt so good I had it on nearly all hours of the day in my home office and I wish it was bottomless!
Find out more about the raw+pure philosophy and how the seasonal collection ordering and delivery works.
WIN a 30mL Rose-Hip Vital organic cold-pressed Rosehip Oil valued at $19.95!* Just subscribe to Nourish Melbourne (to your right) between 13/5/13 and 17/5/13 for your chance to be in the running! Why subscribe? Click here to find out more.

Bindle
bindle.com.au
In the true sense … Bindle (n.) is a term used to describe the bag, or carrying device stereotypically used by the (commonly American) sub-culture of hobos to carry significant personal belongings. In modern popular culture the bindle is portrayed as a stick with a cloth tied around one end for carrying items, with the entire array being carried over the shoulder. For you that means a gift box with products that compliment each other and link the artisans and farmers with you and your loved ones.
