Where did your brand name come from?
My inspirations came from natural
ingredient and the Mother Nature hence the name :)
When did you begin making and what was your
inspiration?
I have always been intrigued by the life
style from the old days when everything is hand crafted one by one using the
materials from mother nature, sadly such amazing craftsmanship and technique is
fading away in the modern days, instead everything is mass produced using the
nasty chemical ingredients to drive the cost down but harms both your skin and
the environment. It was then I begin to create different recipes of skin care
products based on the natural ingredient and ancient recipes, such as essential
oils, herbs and flowers to create skin loving recipes for different skin types
and I have being doing this for a year.
What do you make?
Mainly soaps, our handmade soaps are made
with natural ingredients, essential oil and perfumes to create mild formula
that is great for all skin types for soothing and hydrating rough, dry and
sensitive skin, also great for protect our environment form nasty chemicals.
I also make massage bars, which serves
double-duty as luxurious massage oil or after shower body moisturizer with a
different aroma for different needs, some massage bar with sparkles and
glitters they are very subtle and pretty, gives you a vivid glow that lights up
pale, wintery skin. Perfect for parties and social gatherings that needs a
little something extra. I also make natural lip balms and solid perfume.
Who has been the most influential in your
craft?
No one in particular, I guess I am
influenced by beautifully crafted cakes and desert.
What inspires you?
The inspiration of my soap making comes
from nature, foods, arts, stories and my life experiences.
What is your favorite book?
My favourite book is “Bible” and The
Secret:)
Your favorite food?
Chocolate, cheesecake and ice cream, they
don't sounds very healthy, but I love
it, I also like fruits , my favourite is cherry and Mango. Yummy! I go to designer or artist website to
find inspirations :)
What handmade possesion do you most
treasure?
A vintage Chinese ivory puzzle ball
pendant, it is approx 1.9cm across and it has 3 separate and movable carved
balls inside each ball carved from a single piece of ivory. It’s a fascinating
incredible piece of artistry and workmanship!
Apart from making/creating, what do you do?
I am also a freelance graphic designer,
occasionally do some designs for my clients, I spend most of the time working
on branding for my products. I also go
to belly dance class every Wednesday as well as looking after my husband and my
border collies.
What music is on 'high rotate' on your
stereo or iPod at the moment?
