We have been collaborating with the gorgeous Rochelle of @justanothermannequin for a few years now so we thought it was time to sit down and here a little more about her story and what inspires her. 

This year we are prioritising taking time to focus on ourselves, and to do things that makes us feel good.

At Bird & Kite we believe that the best way to empower ourselves is through self love, self care, self acceptance and self belief. We want to encourage and inspire all amazing women in our lovely community to take time to practice self care, to connect with self love and nurture this as a positive, renewable energy source within us. Keep reading to learn more about the Bird & Kite designed self care kit, Jodi’s best DIY skin care recipes, and hopefully some inspiration for your own self care practice.

We chatted with our founder Jodi who shared some of her favourite sustainable gift-wrapping ideas.

Growing up in the bush, sustainably and off the grid instilled values in me that remain my guiding force in all things I do…in Life and in Bird & Kite. The values that breathe life into our every day practices are of paramount importance to me. They are who I am…who we are and continue to define us as a brand.

Whether you're bunkered down at home with the kids, working from the couch or heading to the supermarket.

Sustainability is not just something that I strive for in my brand values. It’s a way of life. Living slow, minimising waste and creating things with my own hands is how I was raised. It’s part of me.
