Feed.Grow.Play

Feed Grow Play is a family owned and operated business. I’m a mum to two beautiful young children. Feed Grow Play is inspired by my children and I want to encourage and show them that with compassion, support, love & commitment and show them that anything is possible!

I understand how busy Mums, Dads, Grandparents and Carers can be & how challenging it can be keeping up with the latest modern trends. My goal is to provide every family with affordable modern, eco-friendly and sustainable products for your growing babies and toddlers.

Happy Pause

HappyPause is not about making menopause disappear, it is about easing vaginal dryness to help us get our groove back. My hope is that HappyPause proves beneficial to you, too. It is gentle and eases discomfort. The blend of the really good stuff, ie ethically sourced Direct Micro Expelled hand pressed coconut oil, with additional plant derived natural ingredients to seal in moisture mean your intimates are soothed with no preservatives or nasties. HappyPause has a lasting effect with no icky residue. Vegan Australian certified.

After being diagnosed with cancer over 2 years ago, and experiencing constant overheating throughout chemotherapy, Tara Lock started sourcing and testing over 30 different cooling fabrics before perfecting and bringing the Chilly Towel to life in 2015.

Initially sourcing a towel that would keep her cool after the gym, she discovered this product can assist people for various reasons from overheating; fevers, hot flushes, medical conditions, bad circulation, menopause and sports & heat stress.

Due to the unique hyper-evaporative fibres in the Chilly Towel, this unique towel becomes cooler than ambient air when wet, which enables the towel to maintain a temperature that feels cool to the skin. The fibres retain water, which provides cooling relief while staying dry to touch for hours.

Karmaura Creations

By Ali Marie I live on Darkinjung Country, Central Coast NSW, on the water between the bush and beach.My work is inspired by my natural surroundings, and an abundance of bird life and strong creative women. I started creating during lockdown 2020. I quit my government job at the end of the year to focus on my health, I was diagnosed with a rare genetic brain condition that requires surgery that I’m hoping to avoid. Art is mental and physical therapy for me, and my passion. My commissions are inspired by the personal quirks, in-jokes, and guilty pleasures of my clients. My work includes tokens, talismans and secrets hidden in plain sight.My pieces encourage you to seek and find delight in your unique and quirky joys.

Every work features ink doodles in some way, and as much colour as I can find, with a small blank space because your weird is never finished.

I found my passion for creating candles when I was living in a small town in Far North Queensland. I’ve always found that different scents made me feel different ways, for example, the smell of rain or ocean is grounding, the smell of vanilla or cinnamon is warming.

It was then that I founded Karmaura Creations with the intent to make others feel certain emotions and make their house smell divine while doing so. All candles/melts are made with soy wax candles and are completely vegan friendly. They have a long burn time and are made with pure oils to bring you nothing but a perfect burn. l @karmauracreations

Flaming Flamingo

I was always on the lookout for a better, stronger, longer lasting and more fragrant candle. I started to think about what was in the candles I was buying. I realised I could make a cleaner, more natural candle that’s better for my family and for the environment but still had a gorgeous, strong long lasting scent.

That’s when I decided to make 100% eco soy candles myself. After months and months of testing fragrances, wicks and waxes, and creating our very own signature scented candles, Flaming Flamingo Candles was born.

Harper & Wick

It’s all about the small steps towards living as sustainably as we can. One candle won’t fix darkness but it’s a start - it’s all about those small steps towards fixing the larger problem. As a small, female founded, owned and operated Aussie start up, Harper & Wick was founded on the cornerstone of living as waste-free as possible. All of our candles are lovingly handmade and designed to be as eco-friendly and as sustainable as possible. They are handcrafted from 100% natural soy wax, which is biodegradable and palm oil free, and contain fragrance oils that are non-toxic and palm oil free. We use limited packaging in an attempt to minimise unnecessary waste and our Eco range is contained in sustainable glass jars that we encourage to be reused or recycled. A reusable glass jar won’t make a significant change but it’s at least a conscious step in the direction of ending single-use items.

Intentional Colouring Books

Cass is an artist and illustrator who has created her intentional colouring book for self-care. It is an A4 book with 12 of my original intricate mandalas, each paired with a positive affirmation about self-love. The idea is to reflect and repeat the affirmation while colouring which will help the user enter a deep state of mediation and relaxation. The repetition of the affirmations gives the words suggestive strength, the colouring reduces anxiety and stress and the mandalas are structured enough to keep attention but do not require active thought. The book comes with an introduction about myself and why I created it and an instructional page. I created this book for women who may be in need of a little self-care but don’t know where or how to start. I suffered from PND and PNA after the birth of my first child and drawing was the only thing that got me through, so I wanted to share my story and help others. It is printed on 100% recycled paper here in Australia. The books retail at $22.00

Paper is one of the most extraordinary mediums to work with. We primarily work with fine & handmade paper which is most malleable and decadent to work with.

The colour palette is endless, and the size is limitless, as you can play with scale. We once had to work with tweezers to fold minuscule flowers for a petite flower crown.
