Celebrate our natural world this spring

As I write this in mid March, we’ve only just said

goodbye to the snow here in Bath, but I’m hoping

that Spring will have well and truly arrived by the

time you read this! Our latest edition, the Nature

Box, pays homage to our beautiful, precious planet

and is filled with gifts that have come from, been

inspired by or will help you care for our natural

world.

Although environmental issues have been talked

about for many years now, 2018 seems to have

brought a new sense of urgency to the situation.

The news coverage of the unbelievable amount

of plastic in our oceans has been heartbreaking

to watch, which is why we wanted to do our bit by

making it easy for you to ditch the plastic water

bottles. Being Moi-Même, we obviously want you

to do this in style, so we turned to Chilly’s and

their pretty designs for the first gift in your box, a

reusable water bottle.

On the beauty front we’ve partnered with Siskyn

Skincare and HOLISTICA, two brands who use the

power of nature to create luxurious and effective

skincare products. You’ll know by now that we love

natural beauty products and a recent Instagram

post from Siskyn Skincare sums this up for us

perfectly:

“For us the idea of 21st Century luxury is a curious thing, and inextricably linked to integrity. Choosing to pay the premium

for high quality, natural and organic ingredients, ethically sourced, housed in

recyclable packaging is a treat and, for us,

what real honest luxury is all about.”

Siskyn Skincare, February 2018

When I first created Moi-Même, this luxury and

integrity were at the forefront of my mind, as

was the idea of collaboration over competition.

I wanted to be able to provide a platform for

small businesses to showcase their products and

expertise to the world, so I’m thrilled to have a

couple of new brands on board for our latest box.

Both HOLISTICA and Blonde and Stone are less

than a year old but have already made their marks

in the worlds of beauty and homeware. We fell in

love with Blonde and Stone’s range of real marble

products (their intricate bowls are on my wish list!)

and we’re very excited to be including one of their

coasters in the Nature Box, along with a Crystal

Mist from HOLISTICA.

Other than candles, scarves are probably the most

requested item that people ask for when they

fill out their preferences questionnaire, so we’ve

included a pretty, lightweight scarf from MSH in our

Nature Box. Ideal for the warmer spring weather,

each scarf is either printed or embroidered with a

design inspired by nature. To round things off, we’ve

added a packet of wildflower seeds so you can do

your bit to help the butterfly and bee populations,

both of which are in decline in the UK.

We hope you enjoy our latest edition and that it

arrives on a beautiful, sunny Spring day. We can’t

wait to see your photos on Instagram, Facebook

and Twitter!

Camilla and the Moi-Même team, April 2018

Chilly’s was founded in 2010 by James Butterfield

and Tim Bouscarle, with the aim of providing

people with the ability to always have cold

water on the go, without having to use single use

plastic water bottles. After a hugely successful

crowdfunding campaign, James and Tim were

able to develop their range of bottles that keep

water cold for 24 hours and hot for 12 hours. Their

aim is to get as many people as possible to

adopt reusable products that are convenient,

functional and stylish.

Although we’ve been hearing about the impact of plastic on our oceans for a while,

in the last few months the issue has really come to the fore with some quite horrifying

scenes being covered by the media. Here at Moi-Même, we’ve committed to ditching

plastic bottles for good – a job that was made incredibly easy when we discovered

Chilly’s and their stunning designs. With classic dark, matte colours, pretty pastels,

rose gold and summery florals to choose from, you’ll want to build a whole collection.

We’ve chosen Chilly’s mid size bottle

for our Nature box as it’s small enough

to carry around with you but large

enough for a gym session or a few

hours of shopping. We’ve gone for

a mix of metallics, pastels, darks and

florals and we hope you love the design

we’ve chosen for you. If you’d prefer an

alternative though, please get in touch

with us to arrange an exchange. You

can find the details towards the end of

this booklet

.If you’d love to add more designs to your

collection, want to try a different size

bottle or try a food pot, perhaps, head

to www.chillysbottles.com to see the full

collection. Make sure you visit regularly

as James and Tim release new designs

all the time!

Founded in 2016 by sisters Sarah and Emma

Rippon, Siskyn Skincare pride themselves on

producing highly effective, 100% natural, ethical

products. Having both suffered with bad skin in

their youth, it wasn’t until Sarah was travelling in

Australia in 2004 that she discovered a brilliant

book about using botanical oils and extracts as

skincare alternatives. They soon began to make

their own products and, over a decade later, this

knowledge and experience developed into the

Siskyn Skincare brand: an ethical, natural and

award winning alternative to the big names.

A B O U T S I S K Y NS K I N C A R E

W H Y W E L O V E S I S K Y N S K I N C A R E

Sarah and Emma’s core philosophy for Siskyn Skincare is to offer highly effective

products that don’t compromise their moral codes. We love that they’re building

a brand that uses truly natural ingredients that won’t harm us, future generations,

animals or the environment. Each of their products is produced in small, fresh batches

and contains a potent blend of natural ingredients that deliver results.

We’ve selected the Rose & Neroli Day Facial Oil for the Nature Box as it suits all skin

types. Those with dry or more mature skin will benefit from daily use by applying

to clean skin each morning, but don’t be afraid to use it if you have oily skin: we’re

hearing more and more about the benefits of fighting oil with oil, so go ahead and

use sparingly, or as a weekly treatment.

The Rose & Neroli Day Facial Oil was the winner of The Beauty Shortlist ‘Best Facial Oil’

award in 2017, a highly contested and coveted award that proves its credentials.

The Rose & Neroli Day Facial

Oil is a fast absorbing, potent

blend of 17 certified organic,

luxurious botanical oils blended

to deeply nourish your skin, giving

it a velvety soft, radiant glow.

Including collagen boosting

avocado, skin regenerating

rosehip and skin firming camellia,

with the added benefits of rose

otto and neroli to stimulate

cell growth and give the oil its

wonderful natural aroma.

Rose & Neroli Day Facial Oil (30ml) - £42

Ingredients: Blended with 17 certified organic botanical oils and absolutely nothing else: Avocado, Macadamia, Apricot Kernel, Camellia, Rosehip, Hemp, Evening Primrose, Borage, Jojoba, Wheatgerm, Sunflower, Rose Otto, Neroli, Sandalwood, Geranium, Helichrysum and Ylang Ylang. Contains nut oils. Absolutely no silicones, synthetics, derivatives, mineral oil, palm oil, petrochemicals, colours, fragrances or added preservatives. Siskyn Skincare are proud to wear the Leaping Bunnylogo and be Vegan Society registered.

“We believe in leaving a legacy of education,

transparency and ultimately caring.

Run from a small studio in the Kent countryside,

Blonde and Stone create beautiful hand finished

homeware products from the finest marble. A

new brand, Blonde and Stone first began offering

their designs last summer and have already

built a reputation for quality, craftsmanship

and the most coveted designs. Combining the

finest ingredients with a flair for design and the

skill to turn their visions into reality, Blonde and

Stone have created a truly stunning range of

candle holders, marble boards, bowls and home

accessories.

A B O U T B L O N D E A N D S T O N E

W H Y W E L O V E B L O N D E A N D S T O N E

For the last year or so marble has been everywhere, whether it’s the background

of a social media post, covering your laptop or even in your make up bag, it’s safe

to say that marble is a huge trend at the moment. When something becomes so

popular though, quality can take a hit, which is why Blonde and Stone’s use of only

the highest grade, real marble makes them stand out from the crowd. With so many

‘marble effect’ products out there, we knew that Blonde and Stone’s beautiful, real

marble pieces were the only choice for the Nature Box.

Each coaster has concealed rubber feet to protect surfaces from scratches.

Marble is a soft, porous material that is quite sensitive to marks. If you splash a glass

of red or a cup of coffee on your coaster then don’t run for the cleaning products as

these can cause more damage. Instead, blot the spill before rinsing thoroughly with

clean water then patting dry.

Made from distinctive white

Carrara marble, we’ve included

one of Blonde and Stone’s square

coasters in the Nature Box. You’ll

be able to buy the full set from

our shop very soon, along with

candle holders from Blonde and

Stone’s range.

Each coaster has been cut into

squares and hand polished by

Blonde and Stone to showcase

the distinct patterns and veining

of the stone. Because marble is

a natural material, no two pieces

are the same and each has its

own individual character.

Coaster - £25 for four

Born from her love of beauty, cosmetics and

wellness, Becky Symes developed the HOLISTICA

range of skincare, a line of natural beauty

solutions designed to make your skin the very

best it can be. Cold-pressed seed oils, healing

floral waters and potent super foods create

bottled plant magic that feeds skin at a cellular

level. For that extra special boost, Becky carefully

selects crystals to charge the blends with high

vibrational frequencies, helping you to unlock the

radiance and energetic glow of your skin.

W H Y W E L O V E H O L I S T I C A

Natural beauty products are a firm

favourite here at Moi-Même and the

obvious choice for our Nature Box, but

we love how HOLISTICA takes it one

step further by harnessing the power

of crystals in their formulations. We

also love how HOLISTICA is all about

‘skintentions’ - choosing products to

create the skin you want, rather than

for the skin you have.

Becky’s passion for natural ingredients

and her belief that your skin is a

reflection of what you eat and how

you feel about yourself are woven

through the HOLISTICA range. We’ll be

chatting to Becky on our (brand new!)

blog in the coming weeks so you can

learn all about plant power, creating

‘super high vibe’ skin and how the

rituals surrounding your skincare can

nourish you on a deeper level. We

can’t wait!

We’ve chosen HOLISTICA’s Crystal Mists for the Nature box as they’re such great

multitaskers. Carefully chosen for their healing properties, crystals are cleansed and

paired with complementary botanical waters to charge the vibrational frequency of

the mist. Super versatile, the Crystal Mists can be used as a post-cleansing toner, as

a spritz to prime skin for HOLISTICA’s Elixir range, to set make up or as an afternoon

pick-me-up to refresh your make up and complexion.

The Crystal Mist is available in three formulations, each designed

with ‘skintentions’ in mind: “I Am Glowing”; “I Am Balanced”; “I Am

Nourished”. Each mist can be used by anyone, regardless of

skin type, but we’ve selected “I Am Nourished” for those of you

who’ve told us you have dry skin and ‘I Am Balanced’ if you have

oily or combination skin. If you’d prefer a different mist then we

can arrange an exchange for you, just head to the end of this

booklet to find out how.

Head to your local independent gift shop and,

alongside other Moi-Même favourites like Katie

Loxton, Lisa Angel and Portico Designs, there’s

a good chance that you’ll find a selection of

scarves by MSH. Standing for Miss Shorthair,

MSH is a small company that began as a shop

in Notting Hill over 10 years ago. Now based in

Glasgow, founders Maggie and Ann work with

local designers to create an extensive range of

scarves and other accessories that they supply

to boutiques across the UK.

A B O U T M S H

W H Y W E L O V E M S H

If there’s a particular colour or design you’re looking for in your next scarf, we’re pretty

sure that MSH will be able to help. When we decided that we wanted an accessory

that was inspired by nature for our latest edition, we thought it would be a needle

in a haystack job… until we discovered MSH. Their soft, lightweight scarves come in

a rainbow of colours and are embellished with everything from feathers and stars to

butterflies and trees. We love how affordable they are too: we believe you can never

have too many scarves, so now you’ve got your first scarf here, you can soon head to

our shop and buy one for every day of the week!

We’ve selected 11 scarves by MSH, in various colours and featuring metallic designs,

either printed or embroidered, inspired by the natural world. We hope you love the

one we’ve chosen for you but, if not, you can exchange for one of the other options.

We’ll also be adding a whole array to our shop, with metallics, colour and pom poms

galore!

Whether you’re the person who grows their own

vegetables, or someone who gave up gardening

the first time you encountered a worm (true

story…), you won’t find anything easier than these

wildflower seeds by Wildflower Favours. Whether

it’s your back garden, your local green space

or a pot on your kitchen windowsill, there’s no

need for fancy tools, just sprinkle onto soil and let

the seeds do their magic. With a mix of poppy,

cornflower, corn marigold and corn chamomile

seeds, this Moi-Même designed packet is your

little contribution to help the butterflies and bees.

Wildflower Favours Mixed Wildflower Seeds

The team behind Wildflower Favours are incredibly

passionate and knowledgeable about the importance

of wildflowers in maintaining biodiversity and helping the

creatures that depend on them. We love how they’ve

chosen weddings as the way to spread their message:

think about how many wildflowers could be planted up

and down the country if every guest received their own

packet of seeds? You can choose from ready made

designs or create something personalised to remember

your day. With a range of stationery and decorations

as well, it’s no surprise that Wildflower Favours have won

numerous awards and are an official Rock My Wedding

supplier.

We hope you love everything in your Nature box. As far as we could, we’ve followed

the answers you gave us in the questionnaire when you first subscribed but we know

that we won’t always get it right.

If you’d like to swap something in your box for a different option, here’s some more

information about which products are available for exchange and how to go about it:

• Chilly’s Bottle

• HOLISTICA Crystal Mist (unopened and unused)

• MSH Scarf

The above items can be exchanged as long as we have your preferred option in

stock. Unfortunately, we can’t offer exchanges across product types, even if their

value is the same or lower. For example, you can’t exchange your Chilly’s bottle for

another MSH scarf, even though it’s of lower value (although you can buy more

scarves in our shop!).

How to exchange and buy more

If you’d like to arrange an exchange, please email us at info@moi-meme.co.uk with the

following:

• The colour/option you received

• The alternative you would like instead

• Your full name and address

We’ll then check that we have the item you want in stock and confirm whether we can

offer the exchange. If we can, we’ll ask you to send us your item and, once received,

we’ll post your new one out to you. We just ask you to cover our postage cost of

£2.95 (£4.95 if you live outside the UK) and will let you know how to pay this once we’ve

confirmed the exchange.

H O W T O E X C H A N G E

Hooray! We’re so pleased you love what we’ve chosen for you!

Hopefully you’ll have paid a visit to our new website by now and have read our email

about the changes to our subscriptions process. From now on, any extra boxes we

have available will be added to our shop to buy as a one-off, rather than being

allocated to new subscribers. We’ll also be adding more from HOLISTICA, Blonde and

Stone and MSH in the next few weeks.
