Natural, Handcrafted Soap for sale

Justin and Anna from Richmond

Hi! My name is Laura:-)
I homeschool along with my four siblings, and have been making soap for a few years now.
At the moment, I am selling Charcoal + Lavender soap, and Lavender soap. As the document says, the blocks are $4 each, unless they are in a hand-written gift bag, which is $6.
Sometime soon, I will probably make a batch of Lemongrass soap, which would be sold for the same prices.
Here is a little blurb about the benefits of lavender and charcoal:

LAVENDER
Gently cleanses the skin without stripping it of moisture, allowing its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties to combat pimples and skin irritation. These properties also make lavender soap useful in treating skin infections, scabies, and eczema.

CHARCOAL
Helps absorb excess oil.
Helps prevent breakouts.
Tightens pores.
Makes skin firmer.
Exfoliates skin.
Brightens complexion.
Exfoliates dry, dead skin that can lead to flakes and dandruff.
Deeply cleans.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

NZ Post and Rachel Boyack

Tony from Tahunanui

I see our MP, Labour’s Rachel Boyack, is shedding crocodile tears over the NZ Post closures announced today for Nelson. Perhaps Rachel has ‘forgotten’ it was Labour that corporatised NZ Post, intentionally turning it from a service organisation into one focused solely on profit. Her cries would be a little more credible if she could promise Labour would reopen the closed offices or, even better, reverse that Labour-directed profit-only change.
Come on Rachel, what is Labour’s real position - public service or money?

Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
