Still Milly

Matariki (or Puanga for some) marks the beginning of the Māori New Year. It is a special time to reflect, plan ahead, spend time with whānau, and remember those who have passed.

Our whānau spent time this week planting native trees Pōhutukawa, Pūriri, Tōtara, Tī Kōuka, Rewarewa and Kohekohe. Spending time giving back to Papatūānuku feels like the perfect way to welcome the new season.

However you choose to celebrate Matariki this year, I hope it is an extra special one for you and your loved ones 💕

Mānawatia a Matariki! 🌟✨

🌱 Nature’s insect repellent

There’s something extra special about a Ngaio rākau (tree).

🍃 The spotty leaves contain the toxin ngaione.

🦟 While it is toxic to stock it makes an excellent insect repellent against mosquitos and sandflies.

🌸 This beautiful Ngaio flower marks the success of our first whānau planting project in Tahaaroa, Waikato.

✨A small but powerful tohu (sign) of positive things ahead.

These recent shampoo bar reviews have been a beautiful reminder of why I began Still Milly in the first place. To create products from nature to care for your wellbeing and the wellbeing of your whānau without harming Papatūānuku.

Each product has taken years of learning, testing, refining, and is crafted to be not only effective, but a sensory experience that supports your tinana (body), your hinengaro (mind) and your wairua (spirit).

This is why I do this mahi…for you.

So thank you for the feedback- it truly means the world. 🌎

Tātarāmoa is brewing, and something beautiful is on its way. 🌿

What started as a koha (gift) for a very special person is turning into something too beautiful not to share.

🌱 Meet Tātarāmoa

This incredible native vine uses its prickly teeth to climb high into the under-storey of our native ngahere (forest).

Why it’s a favourite rongoā rākau (plant medicine):

* Acts as a natural relaxant
* Calms the mind
* Soothes the nervous system
* Aids deep, restful sleep

⏳ Patiently waiting...

All good things take time. We are patiently waiting a month for this beautiful hinu (oil) to fully infuse.
