  • No Nasties!

    This hand soap is incredible. For those who don’t know, many soaps on the shelves contain toxic preservatives and fragrances that can lead to health issues. But don’t worry! This Freshwater Farm range has simple ingredients and is scented with real essential oils. Made here in Australia.
    I would highly highly recommend you to check the ingredients of your soap and swap out the nasties for this gorgeous product.

  • Beautiful range of products

    Wow, the products in the Freshwater Farms range are absolutely beautiful! I feel like I’ve walked right out of a spa day after using them.
    They have a fresh, clean scent to them and are quite gentle on my skin – my skin gets irritated really easily if I use the wrong products but these didn’t irritate me at all.
    My skin felt clean, hydrated and soft after each use which is something that’s really important to me especially with the ageing process, I want something a little more gentle which is what this brings.
    I love how simple but pretty the packaging is as well so they would definitely make a lovely gift.

  • Beautiful Australian made products

    I adore these products, the smell divine and my skin feels so nourished after using them, the product is nice and thick. My bathroom smells amazing just by having the products in there. My only advice is the products are beautifully packaged but once the body wash label gets wet it starts to peel off. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone.

  • Beautifully scented and very moisturising

    A beautifully packaged product which has a lovely lemon oil scent. Due to Covid, we have been using way more hand wash than ever before! And my skin is definitely paying for the constant hand washing. We were using a general antibacterial hand wash before we tried Freshwater Farm and it has made such a difference! Not only does it look lovely on my sink but it has also added so much moisture back to my hands. I am not a massive fan of bars of soap as I don’t like the dry feeling they leave on my skin but this bar definitely doesn’t do that and has the same lovely scent ☺️ Having a toddler and being pregnant with my second has also made me open my eyes to the amount of chemicals added to a lot of the products we use on our skin so to find a lovely scented product that is free from nastiest and Australian made was a real bonus! Would definitely recommend this product ☺️

  • Finally a Soothing and hydrating hand wash

    The Lemon myrtle oil + Manuka Honey castile hand wash is soothing on my hands. Being rich in antioxidants and hydrating properties I can wash away the day and not worry about my dry hands cracking.
    Have I mentioned how delicious it smells AND it’s Australian made.

  • WOW! Just WOW!

    The first word that came out of my mouth when I first used the Freshwater Rose Water and Pink Clay handwash was “WOW”. This is a premium quality product that is so gentle on the skin. The amount of lather on the hand after using a tiny drop of the handwash, that wonderful rosewater and clay smell… that just leaves you with a happy feeling. And top of that, the fragrance stays with you after you wash your hand. My whole bathroom is fragranced. Love this product. Superb stuff. And , the this not tested on animals, is natural. These guys have ticked all the boxes of making it a great product.

  • The rose soap is DIVINE!

    Not your typical rosy scented bar of soap, this is different, it felt like showering in a field of roses. Moisturising and soft, it was effective as well as didn’t strip away all moisture from my body. Will definitely purchase again and try the range of products. Good for the whole family.

    Loving freshwater farm castille hand wash in lemon myrtle. The bottle is nice and the gel smells is lemony myrtle-y. Been enjoying hand washing no matter how frequent I do it because it does not dry out my skin. It maintains the softness by moisturising it, so soft that the towel glides.

    I won these products courtesy of this site one month. I was so amazed by how they all smelt. They’re just so beautiful. I love the shampoo/conditioner soap bars the most. They please all of the family. You can smell the soaps on your skin long after you get out of the shower to. Theyre honestly just amazing.

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Sandhurst

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board 

Sandhurst article image

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!
