Winter Skin Saviour
- Words by Peppermint
I do love winter and its beautiful blue skies and crisp, brisk days, but what I don’t like is what it does to my skin. Dry. Itchy. Chapped. Me no likey. Thankfully, the beauty brainiacs from Antipodes have created Saviour Skin Balm and, oh my, it really is a saviour!
This rich balm is a serious multitasker. It can be used for chapped lips, for irritated skin such as eczema and psoriasis, for sunburn, cuts and grazes, cuticles, reducing stretchmarks (yeah, you heard me) and a whole lotta other stuff. It is naturally antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial and can be used safely on babies.
Amongst a host of super ingredients, Saviour Skin Balm also contains tea tree and Vinanza Grape antioxidantsβ¦ and it has been scientifically proven to stimulate synthesis of Type III collagen by more than 95%! What does that mean? It means, my pretties, that it does a wonderful job of softening, healing and repairing damaged skinβ¦ and is a potent anti-ager. So if you leave the house with only one great product in your handbag, make sure it’s this one! (Did I mention it’s also great for flyways? I’m just sayinβ¦)

Fun, fabrics, florals and fab fashion fits by local sewists β what a way to spend a day!
The @LibertyFabrics Showcase hosted by @2GreenZebras and @Regent_Street_Fabrics in Brisbane/Meanjin was a spectacular event. We learned the history of the iconic Liberty Fabrics from two legends, Mary-Ann Dunkley (Head of Design) and Anna Buruma (Archive Director), browsed stalls bursting with Liberty delights and cheered on our local sewist pals on the runway with the @StyleArc Fashion Parade. A little biased shoutout to our Sewing Manager Laura who graced the catwalk with her gorgeous make (check the bag and shoes!). Well done to all involved. ππΌ
Melbourne/Naarm β itβs your turn this weekend. We canβt wait to see what our Southern friends create for the event.

Wrap dress wardrobe malfunction? Not with the Peppermint Waratah Wrap Dress pattern!β
β
Our number one complaint is wrap dresses flying open in the wind, leaving you clutching a handful of skirt in your paw to avoid a public indecency offence. So we designed the Waratah to make sure this never happens. πͺοΈβ
β
And yes, you could say we had a lot of fun on this shoot! πβ

Secret pjs all day everyday!
How sweet is this version of our Samford Set pattern - created in collab with Lindsey of @SewToGrow π
From @Claire.Creates.Clothes:
π€π£π’ Colour spot blocking pregnancy friendly set π’π£π€
I wanted some #secretpyjamas that I can wear on the couch when Iβm pregnant and after for breastfeeding, with a top that I can wear out of the house. Welcome the #PeppermintSamfordSet
I made the Samford set top in a size F, one size up from my current bust and itβs the perfect amount of room for my expanding tummy, and will hopefully not be crazy oversized after pregnancy. I used a spotted linen that used to be considered good fabric, blocked with a organic linen sheet that was gifted to me for the sole purpose of being fabric by the lovely @heather_steenholdt
The top came together super quickly and has already had lots of wear - couch, dinner and work βοΈ I even attached the buttons within a week of starting the project, who am I?!
I already had the shorts in the rust linen but never wear them because I donβt like the length or shape at all - they were a pants pattern that I just made shorter. So I cut them to have an inseam of 2.5β and added a 1.5 length ruffle cut at 3β in the contrast spot linen and love them so much more already. Although the shorts will now just be reserved for in house.
Iβve already planned 2 more Samford sets, but will size down to get more post pregnancy wear. And will tackle the pants!
Special thanks to Laura at @peppermintmagazine for sending me the Samford set instructions, you motivated me to put the buttons on before the baby actually arrives! π
