This year, Natio is proud to partner with Lighthouse Foundation to support youth - predominantly women, and many young mothers themselves - experiencing homelessness to feel valued and cared for. Just as wonderful mums and mother figures nurture, uplift and provide a helping hand, Natio is committed to supporting that same kindness to youth in need. For every Natio Mother’s Day gift set sold, $1 will go directly to supporting Lighthouse to help to provide safe shelter, community and self-care resources for the youth in their care. Through this partnership, we not only celebrate the women in our lives, but also help ensure that others facing hardship can receive the care and support they deserve.

What happens when a Moscow Mule gets a passport and a sense of adventure? The Mexican Mule.

Ingredients:
50ml El Jimador Blanco Tequila
250ml ginger beer
Lime wedges
Lime and crystallised ginger to garnish
Here’s how to make it:
Fill your glass with ice.
Add El Jimador Blanco Tequila and squeeze two lime wedges into the glass.
Top up with ginger beer and give it a gentle stir to combine.
Garnish with a lime wheel and crystallised ginger.

Never leave your dry skin on unread again
While you’re slathering your face with cleanser, toner, or moisturiser, chances are your body’s watching from the sidelines feeling well and truly ghosted.
Enter: Epzen’s Humble Body Scrub
Sure, they might seem like your average beauty aisle benchwarmer, but body scrubs are quite possibly the most underrated products for rescuing parched limbs from their wintry exile. And, let’s be honest, you’ll smell pretty yummy, too.
If your road to smoothness has been, well, rough and bumpy, scroll on for the two best body exfoliators to transform your dry skin back to dolphin-smooth glory.
Energise Glow Natural Exfoliating Body Scrub, $11.69
Quick science tidbit: the skin’s natural cell turnover cycle (aka shedding of dead skin) happens daily. But as we age or even the changing season from winter into spring, means this process may be sluggish and in need of a little SOS. That’s where Energise Glow waltzes in.
Unlike other scrubs that are harsh and drying, this gem is packed with squalene and sweet almond oil, ensuring your skin stays hydrated and supple. Walnut shell powder gently polishes away rough patches, while a burst of essential oils leaves you feeling energised—perfect for tackling long days, deadlines, your kids, whatever. If you’re struggling with desert-like dryness and bumpy bits for days, don’t look past this smooth operator.
Unwind shower balm, $12.59
Now that you've buffed your skin to perfection with Energise Glow, it's time to lock in that hydration and glow with Unwind Shower Balm.
This sumptuous in-shower moisturiser is the perfect follow-up act to your exfoliating routine. Packed with skin-loving goodies like shea butter, vitamin E, and 100% natural essential oils, it helps to rebalance your skin's natural moisture barrier. The result? Soft, supple skin that's more radiant than rough around the edges.
And the best part? This shower balm is all about effortless hydration. Simply slather it on, rinse off, and you're good to glow - no need for post-shower moisturising. It's the perfect solution for busy bees who want to make a beeline for glowing, healthy-looking skin.
Ready to get scrubby with it?
To get the most out of your scrub, lightly dampen your skin under the shower. Apply your scrub of choice in circular motions, starting from your feet and moving upwards towards your heart—this boosts circulation and gets you the best results. If you’re prepping before fake tan (shoutout to our Thursday night tanning girlies), focus on dry areas like the elbows, knees, around the ankles and feet. Once you’re fully scrubbed, rinse off under warm water.
Thirst-Quenching Tip: Want to lock in that freshly scrubbed glow? After rinsing, follow up with a generous application of Thirst Aid Hydrating Body Serum and then a dollop of Butter Up Hydrating Body Butter for seriously strokable skin.
Meet the no-BS approach to self-care, Epzen. Available at Blooms The Chemist - Windsor Marketplace.

How To Make Your Working Lunch Taste Great
Preparing your lunch when working instead of buying it can be smart for both your finances and your health. It can, however, be hard to think of new, exciting ideas.
In this article, we try and inspire you with some healthy lunchtime ideas. Some of these apply for lunch-at-work rather then work-from-home, which many of us are doing these days.
Here are some tips to re-energise your lunch menu while saving money and your health:
1. Invest in mini salad dressing containers to keep your salad fresh
There’s nothing less appetising than a soggy salad. If you love great salads at lunch, invest in mini containers to keep your dressing separate. At lunchtime, give your container a shake and coat your salad leaves. They’ll have stayed fresh, and you will still get the great flavour of salad dressing.
2. Roast some veggies on Sunday afternoon
Picture this: You’re trying to eat salad for lunch, but even the word ‘salad’ sounds boring to you. Spruce up your salad by adding some roast vegetables. Roasting veggies takes time, so prepare them early on the weekend. Not only will roast veggies add colour and flavour to your salads at work, but they’ll also fill you up. Sweet potatoes are low GI, which means they’ll even give you energy long into the afternoon when you’re usually craving a coffee break.
3. Take fruit or dark chocolate for your afternoon slump
If you love finishing a meal with a sweet treat, take it to work with you to avoid running to the shop and grabbing a chocolate bar. Fruits like berries, stonefruit, dates, and grapes are great ways to get a post-lunch sugar fix without going overboard on sugar. Dark chocolate is also a great way to satisfy your cravings.
If that doesn’t work, take along a piece of your favourite high-quality chocolate. Savour it with a coffee or tea, and enjoy every bite. If you take it with you from home, you can control how much you are eating. If you save it for the three pm slump, you’ll also get a great injection of energy for the last couple of work hours.
Preparing your lunch is a healthy way to eat while working. There’s nothing wrong with eating treats as a part of your lunch, as long as they’re not eaten daily, and you enjoy them. Guilt around food leads to overeating, so don’t feel guilty, keep it balanced and just enjoy it.
Looking for a sweet treat that won’t derail your goals? The Lady Shake protein is the perfect way to satisfy those chocolate cravings while staying on track. Pick up yours at Blooms The Chemist – Windsor Marketplace and make every snack a smart one!

Fill your makeup bag without breaking the bank
Getting started with makeup doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. Whether you're a newbie to makeup, or simply looking to build a cost-effective makeup kit, Woolworths offers a wide range of affordable products that don’t compromise on quality. Discover the key essentials and create a versatile, affordable makeup kit below!
Face primer & setting spray
A good primer is essential to help your makeup last longer and look smoother. Choose one that offers a long wearing base for your makeup. Pair it with a setting spray (apply after your make-up is done to give it more staying power) that can lock in your look all day, ensuring your makeup stays put.
Foundation
Foundation is the cornerstone of any makeup kit, providing an even base for your entire look. Look for a foundation that gives you a natural, glowing finish, with blendability and coverage that suits your skin type.
Concealer
Cover up any blemishes or dark circles with a reliable concealer. Opt for one that is easy to apply and provides a smooth, even finish, perfect for brightening up your under-eye area or covering imperfections. Look for products that have the words 'brightening or lightening/highlighting' on the label.'
Setting powder
To keep your makeup in place and reduce shine throughout the day, a setting powder is a must. Choose one that gives a seamless finish and helps your makeup last longer without settling into fine lines.
Blush
Add a healthy flush of colour to your cheeks with a blush that’s easy to blend and gives a natural glow. A cream or powder formula can work well, depending on your skin type and preference.
Mascara
Mascara is key to defining your lashes and enhancing your eyes. Opt for one that curls, lengthens and volumises without clumping, ensuring your lashes look full and fluttery.
Eyeliner
For sharp, defined eyes, choose an eyeliner with a precise tip and a long-lasting formula. Whether you prefer a pencil, liquid, or gel, the right eyeliner can help you create anything from a subtle line to a dramatic wing.
Eyeshadow
A versatile eyeshadow palette with neutral shades is a must for creating both day and night looks. Look for a palette that offers a mix of matte and shimmer shades, allowing you to experiment with different styles.
Lip gloss
A lip gloss can add the perfect finishing touch to your makeup look. Choose one with a hydrating formula and high-shine finish, perfect for adding a touch of glamour to any look.
Lipstick
For a pop of colour, select a lipstick that offers a creamy, matte finish. Look for long-wearing and highly-pigmented formulas that stay put and provide a rich colour.

5 ways to look after the skin you’re in
While many people think looking after your skin is only important on the outside, taking a holistic approach to looking after the skin you’re in can help you avoid skin problems in the future.
Working to keep your skin healthy inside and out is the most effective way to look after the largest organ in your body.
Blooms The Chemist’ Pharmacist Kylie Bond shares 5 ways to look after the skin you’re in.
1. Drink lots of water
Drinking water helps keep your body hydrated, which in turn helps your skin.
A new study has shown that drinking just two cups of water can increase blood flow, which can help give your skin an even tone.
Between 50% and 80% of your body is made up of water, and if your body is dehydrated, it won’t function as well across the board.
While drinking more water is always a good thing, it won’t help reduce the appearance of wrinkles or fine lines.
Maintaining a skincare routine is one of the best things you can do for your skin.
2. Maintain a good skincare routine
It’s important to maintain a good skincare routine that is gentle on your skin and can also reduce the signs of ageing.
As daily cleansing can dry out your skin, be gentle with your skin and avoid using a harsh or strong soap, especially if you’re repeatedly washing your skin.
The American Academy of Dermatology Association recommends that you should moisturise your skin if it is dry or itchy to help keep your skin refreshed and hydrated.
If you’re older, you may find that moisturising daily can help keep your skin healthy, as the oil glands that keep your skin healthy create fewer oils and need to be replenished more often.
3. Use sunscreen to protect your skin
As we live in Australia, protecting your skin from the sun is an important step in your skincare routine.
This is because a lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, sun spots, and more.
Kylie recommends maintaining your sunscreen application even in the colder months.
“Because of the Australian climate, everyone is hyperaware of using sunscreen during the warmer months. However, it’s just as important to use sunscreen in the winter as Australia has a high UV rating all year round.
“Just because the sun isn’t out doesn’t mean you can’t get burned. This is especially the case if you’re engaging in winter sports, such as skiing or snowboarding, as the sun can reflect off the snow and burn your skin.”
Using a high-SPF sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily can protect your skin from the sun as well as prevent wrinkles.
4. Take supplements that can help your skin
We recommend speaking to your doctor before starting any new supplements, but depending on your skin concern, supplements can help.
“Everyone has their skin concerns that are individual to them, but there are a range of supplements that can help you. Some supplements support general well-being, whereas others that include omega-3s can help with acne,” explains Kylie.
Supplements that include collagen or omega-3s4 can help reduce the physical appearance of wrinkles, but supplements can’t replace a balanced diet and staying hydrated.
5. Maintain a healthy lifestyle
Last but not least, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is highly important for looking after your skin.
“Healthy skin isn’t just what you put on your skin; it also comes from the inside. That’s why maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including limiting alcohol intake, getting enough sleep, and eating enough fruits and vegetables, can help keep your skin looking great,” Kylie clarified.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle isn’t only good for your skin, but your whole body as well. Your diet and your skin health are closely linked, so making sure you’re eating healthier can help your skin more than you think.

Get Christmas Party Ready: Easy Makeup Looks to Sparkle This Christmas
The festive season always brings a magical joy unlike any other time of year. It's a time to hold our loved ones near and celebrate the warmth of the Christmas cheer.
As the twinkling lights and glittering baubles mark this special time of year, why let the Christmas tree have all the sparkle? Embrace the festive spirit with a makeup look that shines just as bright at your Christmas events.
Whether you prefer a subtle, natural glowy look, or love to go bold with winged eyeliner and a statement lip, now’s the perfect time to elevate your makeup look. With our cruelty-free makeup, we're here to inspire you to let your natural beauty shine from the inside out with the peace of mind that you’re being kind to our furry friends while celebrating this season.
It’s all in the eyes!
Just as the windows in our homes showcase our twinkling Christmas trees this time of year, our eyes are the windows to our beaming souls. Let them shine with the luminous glow of our Glide On Eyeshadow Sticks. Perfect for creating an eye-catching look, they’re quick and easy to apply, longwearing, and ready to keep up with all your festive gatherings.
Worried about oily eyelids getting in the way of your look? Don’t fret – these longwearing eyeshadow sticks are designed to withstand those hot summer days and balmy Australian evenings, ensuring your makeup stays flawless from dawn till dusk as you mingle and dance the night away. Enjoy an effortless application with our creamy, fuss-free shadow stick, designed for all-day wear without any fallout or smudging. Simply glide the stick directly onto your lids, then blend seamlessly with your fingertips for a smooth finish ready to dazzle.
PRO TIP: Blend your eyeshadow while it’s still tacky for an effortless application and to reduce the need for touch-ups later.
For a soft, natural look at your Christmas lunch, why not try our new shade, Dawn. This coppery pink shimmer adds just the right amount of warmth and radiance for daytime wear. As the sun sets and the party starts, take your look to the next level with Dusk in the outer corners, or use to create a bold winged liner for a glamorous transition into the night.
Glow all night
With any makeup look, think of your flawless base as the star on top of the Christmas tree - it pulls everything together and helps to enhance the decorations on the tree, so they look extra magical. Without a beautiful base to help your makeup stay put and glow, your natural makeup look will start to fade away before the festivities have even begun!
Start with our Soft Focus Pore Perfecting Primer to create a smooth, flawless base for your makeup to stick to. Then layer our Bronze Glow Perfecting Primer to add not only warmth, but that lit-from-within, healthy glow to the skin. While both are primers, they serve two distinct purposes – one ensures your makeup stays put all night long, while the other enhances your base with a luminous glow.
Next, choose your favourite Natio base product. Whether you prefer the fuller coverage of a foundation, or the lightweight feel of a Tinted Moisturiser or BB Cream on your skin, all pave the way for the rest of your look.
Finish up your base application by adding warmth, colour and sparkle back to the skin with our new Cream Sticks. Start by applying Blushed to the apples of the cheeks, blending up towards the temples for that rosy sunkissed glow. Follow up with Bronzed along the forehead, underneath the cheekbones and along the jawline to naturally define and sculpt the face. Like the twinkling lights on the tree, finish up by applying Golden to the highest points of the face to add a light-catching golden highlight to your look.
Festive, timeless lips
Whether you’re embracing the festive spirit or leaning towards a more natural makeup look, we have the perfect lip shade no matter your preference.
For a classic Christmas red that’s a timeless beauty, look no further than our Matte Lip Colour in Spice. Top it off with a touch of Antioxidant Lip Shine in Grace for shimmering finish and a juicy dose of hydration. If a bold red feels a little too festive for your vibe (it’s okay, no Grinch-shaming here), our Matte Lip Colour in Chai is the ultimate, versatile nude shade. It’s effortlessly chic and pairs beautifully with any look to carry you into the new year.
