Bohème NZ

Did you see it?

There wasn't a hidden detail. I just wanted you to actually watch for thirty seconds instead of scrolling past, because what's happening on your skin in that moment is doing more than you think.

Chamomile contains apigenin (stay with me now), which binds to GABA-A receptors and helps calm your nervous system's stress response, the same pathway targeted by anti-anxiety medication.
At the same time, bisabolol works directly on inflamed skin, calming it at a cellular level.

Two pathways. One plant. Working on your skin and your mind, at once.

There's a name for this now. Neurocosmetics. Inhaling chamomile alone has been shown to activate the limbic system, the part of your brain responsible for emotion. So when you massage Luma into your skin, you're not just removing the day. You're sending your body a signal to calm down, properly.

This is not skincare as a task. This is the moment your whole day finally exhales.

Luma Calming Cleansing Oil. Chamomile infused. Made for the women who give everything to everyone else first.

There's probably worse things I could do... 👀

Natural skincare | botanical skincare | nervous system reset | skincare rituals

Call me crazy... but I do love sending out my beautiful Bohème products into the world!

So take advantage of my risky moves and grab yourself an absolute steal!!

It's as much about slowing down and doing your ritual with intention and joy as it is about what products you use...

But let me just say this. Using Bohème products ensures your skincare rituals are done with no-tox, natural ingredients, that not only support the skin but don't load your body with even more stress by adding in chemicals your body has to try and detox out...

Just saying. 🤷🏽‍♀️💅

Small business horror is a very specific genre. Thinking of submitting these to Sundance...

Five films I did not ask to star in but here we are.

Which one are you watching on repeat?

This is Forbidden Fruit Facial Oil being born.

Sea buckthorn fruit oil, one of nature's most concentrated sources of Vitamin C. H**p seed oil, argan oil, and more. Measured by hand, poured slowly, mixed until it's right. No machine does this part. No timer tells me when it's done. I just know.

Small batch making means every bottle makes its way to you fresh. It means I notice when something is off. It means I care about what goes on your skin because I put it on mine first.

Right now, small batch is not a limitation. It is the whole point.

Forbidden Fruit is our best seller for a reason. It works because of how it's made, not in spite of it.

My wee community may be small... but man, once you're on board, you are ride or die!!
