O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree!
Christmas has passed and the New Year has begun, but the real question on everyone’s mind (or at least mine) is when one is supposed to disassemble ones Christmas tree? Some say New Years Day, others say 12 days after Christmas… Others (members of my family of course) will just leave it up for half the year or even until the next year to save time, energy and vacuuming.
Luckily for me, my Christmas tree consisted of a small twig like metal thing from Ikea and a single decoration, so dismantling it alike erecting and dressing it takes a total of two seconds rather then two hours (I like to think of it as “minimalistic”).
But before we convince ourselves that the festivities of Christmas and New Years are well and truly over and finally decide that the tree (or twig) must come down, a few happy snaps must be taken in order to preserve the memories of yet another Merry Christmas.
Luckily for you I took my Y-Yo Christmas tree pictures on Christmas Eve, the time every Christmas tree is at its full glory – with prezzies ready to be opened!

Posh Op Shop
The other night I was semi watching Today Tonight whilst cooking my dinner when a feature caught my attention, about a posh Op Shop that has recently opened on Bridge Rd.
My attention soon went from semi to full when I heard that the Op Shop was one of the newest additions to the Red Cross. Like all Red Cross Op Shops, the clothing and accessories at 'One 9 One Bridge' have been donated, the staff volunteer their time and the proceeds go towards the work of Red Cross…
Unlike all other Red Cross Op Shops, the unique clothing and accessories collection at ‘One 9 One Bridge’ has been hand picked! The collection includes only the finest quality vintage, recycled and new fashion items as well as a small range of high end designer wear.
I am yet to actually visit ‘One 9 One Bridge’, but I sure am curious! Environmentally friendly, fashionable and charitable, two thumbs up from Y-Yo!
Check out ‘One 9 One Bridge’, the Red Cross’ first boutique charity store at:
191 Bridge Rd
Richmond, VIC, 3121

The Y-Yo Story
First and foremost we want the day-to-day fragrance we wear to make us smell beautiful. With essential oil-fragranced products we can not only smell fabulous the organic, chemical free way, but we can derive other benefits too.
The proliferation of chemical based fragrances, particularly since WW1, has meant that the therapeutic benefits gained from many colognes and perfumes – as was the original intention centuries ago - has been lost. Today, up to 90% of conventional fragrances are made up of largely untested synthetic chemicals (Turin & Sanshez, 2008). It’s essentially the marketing of a product that makes us smell "alluring, uplifted, sexy, beautiful" not the ingredients in the product itself.
At Y-Yo we’ve harnessed the knowledge gathered over generations of Egyptians, Chinese, Indians and indigenous Australians (to name but a few!) to develop a range of certified organic essential oil-fragranced products that marry nature’s beauty and utility. Our forefathers, so in-tune with the healing powers of nature, understood the uplifting benefits derived from jasmine and citrus; energising peppermint and red thyme; and the mosquito repelling properties of lavender, rosemary and vetiver. Consequently the all-natural ingredients in Y-Yo Glow uplift if you’re feeling blue; Y-Yo Flow revitalises if you lack energy or concentration; and Y-Yo Original protects you against attracting mosquitoes at that next summer party.
There’s no nasties in Y-Yo. We’re chemical free. Y-Yo products care for you, your family, animals and the environment. We’re conscious of what we put on our skin and hope that you are too. It takes just twenty six seconds for the chemicals in most conventionally fragranced products to penetrate our skin, to circulate through our blood stream and get into every organ in our body. TWENTY SIX SECONDS. We therefore need to be aware – not paranoid – just aware of how many chemically-laden products we put on (and therefore in) our bodies. Make a point of being informed. Care for your body and your family.
Choose Y-Yo.
