Hello Beautiful GPS Mama,
Happy Mother’s Day!
So glad you came by to check out more about the Gerringong Public School Mothers Day Stall gift you received from your thoughtful little one.
These gifts were handcrafted with organic, simple ingredients by a group of Gerringong mamas who are passionate about kicking chemicals from our homes and reducing the impact of waste on our planet.
Your gifts are super easy and affordable to make at home + are great fun to do with the kids too. We’ve detailed the recipes below for your reference and here are some of the photos of the process for your enjoyment!
Don’t worry, we gave ourselves breaks and always have plenty of fun too!

GPS Mothers Day Gift Stall R E C I P E S
Mermaid Hair: This indulgent hair serum can be used as a detangler or a leave-in conditioner. The recipe was inspired by my year 1 daughter who has beautiful long locks which get oh so tangled every night while she sleeps. Somehow, our mornings are so much more magical when she gets some mermaid hair serum before we attempt to brush it! It’s infused with some of Cleopatra’s favorite oils and is perfect for strengthening and smoothing hair as well as gently working through the knots to make your morning a breeze. Shake before each use. Pump into palms and work gently thru hair as needed.
- Use a 50 ml spritz or serum bottle (Centaur Packaging has a great supply)
- Add approximately 1 tsp of conditioner (we used Young Living as detailed below) + 40 ml boiled water (boiled distilled water is ideal but not necessary) + 1/4 tsp witch hazel + 5-8 drops essential oils of choice: we used Ylang Ylang + Cedarwood + Lavendar. (Different oils for different hair types and needs, touch base if you would like to learn more, including about oils that nits steer clear of)!!!
- Shake vigorously until well blended.
- Shake before each use. Pump into palms and work gently thru hair as needed.
*Copaiba Vanilla Conditioner from Young Living: We chose to use this particular conditioner in your Mermaid Hair recipe as it’s the most luscious toxin-free completely safe plant-based conditioner out there. Because it has zero fillers or foaming agents, one bottle lasts for at least 3x longer than general conditioners. Bonus it smells amazing without hormone-disrupting fragrance.
Relax Bath Salts:
- Fill 250 ml jar 2/3 with Epsom Salts + Add 1 TBSP Bi Carb Soda + optional lavender cuttings + 3-5 drops essential oils of choice: we used Stress Away + Tangerine.
- Gently shake or stir to combine.
- Add approximately 100 ml to a hot bath or foot soak.
Mum & Me Lip Balm:
For Lip Blam, we used this tried & true recipe from Wellness Mama linked below. We substituted the shea butter for cocoa butter to make this one Choc-Mint flavor and only used half the essential oil drops as more can be too strong for little ones lips (15 total per batch) . https://wellnessmama.com/25459/imitation-burts-bees-lip-balm/
All Essential oils are Young Living. After tons of research and years of personal use, these are the oils we trust to be the very best available and thus why we founded on business thru them.
