Burpengary Organic Farmer's Market
1st and 3rd Saturday of every month
CREEC
150 Rowley Rd Burpengary (opposite Burpengary Meadows State School)
7am till 11am.
As these markets are new, the number of stallholders is small, but I am sure it will grow with time. The quality of produce is excellent - get there early enough and score a dozen organic eggs for $3.50!

Hands
I find the best thing for my hands is straight sweet almond oil (available from health food shops and pharmacies). It's a carrier oil that can be used as a base for other concoctions. Mix a few drops of your favourite essential oil with 4 teaspoons of sweet almond oil and you have a really simple treatment for your hands. If your skin is super dry, mix in a teaspoon of vegetable glycerine. Store in a dark glass bottle (I store mine in a Rescue Remedy bottle) and shake well before each use. A few drops goes a long way with this one!
Rosewater and Glycerine Hand Lotion
All skin types
20ml rosewater
2 teaspoons vegetable glycerine
1/2 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon honey
10 drops lemon essential oil (lemongrass would also suffice)
Honey and vegetable glycerine are humectants that will draw moisture to the skin, whilst the vinegar will help restore the ph balance.

Treatments
Egg Treatment
Pre-shampoo
Whisk up 2 eggs.
Massage thoroughly through your hair. Be sure to rinse out with cold water, otherwise you will end up with scrambled egg all through your hair!
Hair Mayonnaise
Pre-shampoo
This is suitable for all hair types except for very oily hair. It pretty much smacks you in the head with a wollop of moisture and protein, so concentrate mainly on the ends and be careful around the roots.
1 organic egg yolk
3 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon jojoba oil
20ml light organic olive oil
4 drops lavender essential oil
Whisk up the egg and vinegar. Mix together the oils and then add to the egg in a thin stream. Use immediately.
Massage into the hair. For deep conditioning cover your head with a plastic shower cap (or glad wrap), then wrap in a hot towel and leave for 20 minutes. Wash as normal.

Leave-in Spray
Grab a handfull of fresh Rosemary. Pop it in a saucepan and cover with water, bring to the boil and simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Strain. When cooled, place the liquid in a spray bottle. Spray into your hair after washing, or use whenever your locks need a quick fresh up.
