Integrity Cosmetics range of Certified Organic Skin Care products were featured at the Mind, Body, Spirit Festival in Melbourne from June 8-11 at the Melbourne Convention Centre. What a jam packed 4 days! Our wonderful team talked to hoards of people, answering their questions about skin care and their skin type, their key challenges and what they look for in a natural skin care product. Cleansers, moisturizers and serum tubes were flowing onto hands thick and fast as people smelt and felt these gorgeous products. People tried guessing which ingredient it was that stood out for them, that scent….most people couldn’t quite put their finger on it, but knew they had smelt it somewhere before.
The Prize Draw attracted lots of people and the lucky winners are already starting to cash in on their prize. It was a learning curve, given it’s the first Mind Body Spirit Festival we’ve done and was loads of fun too. Luckily I grabbed a few minutes to check out the other stands and do a quick recky. Thank goodness I found the Conscious Chocolate stand, of which of course I had to make a purchase. I’d never tried it before and was curious. If you haven’t tried this delicacy, then it’s something you must do. One piece of this gorgeous chocolate and you’re senses will be taken away, as if by angels. It simply melts in your mouth! And being certified organic by the ACO, as our skin care range is, we have much in common!
I was fortunate enough to meet the chocolate maker himself – Pana Barbounis, while stuffing some orange flavored raw, organic chocolate into my mouth. One lip wavering at the melt in the mouth sensation that this taste test provides, I managed to get Pana’s card and said “we’re certified organic with the ACO too, we must talk” before I melted on the spot. There’s something very special about their handmade chocolate, with all natural ingredients. To order online or find your nearest stockist go to www.consciouschocolate.com.au
Thank goodness my wonderful team also got to try Conscious Chocolate’s wares and the sustenance was appreciated. Danica, Chantelle & Tathra took great care of the people who came by to have a look at Integrity Cosmetics and experience our ‘to die for’ natural skincare. We’ve even received emails from new customers to thank us for the service provided on the stand and commend us on how genuine we are. And of course lots of people walked away with very soft hands afterwards.
While I didn’t get to see or experience as much as I would like, going between breast feeding 7 month old Benjamin and being on the stand my schedule was jam packed. However I got a passing glance at The Australian School of Meditation, The Australian Shiatsu College, Conscious Chocolate, Sophisticakes (cup cake stand), WellBeing Magazine, Living Now Magazine, Australian Natural Health, Golden Circle, The Chemcial Maze and even got to have a chat with the author Bill Statham himself. Thanks for dropping in to say hi Bill!
Now the event organizers are busy preparing for the Brisbane show. I must say I’m glad to have a break, but if you’re in Brissy this weekend, and are thinking of checking it out, see their website for more info www.mbsfestival.com.au
