You only need a little bit...

Everytime I have a shower I am amazed at just how little natural body wash, natural shampoo or natural conditioner I use. Because natural products are more concentrated, they have fewer ingredients, no chemicals and they don't contain bulking ingredients or fillers, you only need a small amount to get the job done. A blob less than a 20 cent piece is all you need for anything in the shower, and the natural baby body wash I use on my kids I only use a pea size, and thats a baby pea!

A customer once said to me I was doing my business a diservice as the products lasted so long that people wouldn't need to come back for more for a while and that is so true. But I dont think it is a diservice. I believe that is fantastic service as I am helping you to look after your health by choosing natural and your wallet, by saving you from buying lots of products often.

A little goes a long way.

One day I plan to do a cost and quantity analysis and compare a mainstream chemical based brand of say shampoo with a natural one and see what a serving size actually costs. I think it would be really interesting and am most positive that natural products end up being cheaper over time. And better for you for sure.

So next time you are in the shower, see how much product you squirt in your hand and consider... if you use less, you will save more.

Red Rata's first ever blog post

Hello and welcome to my first ever post on Red Rata's blog.

I thought this would be a great way to keep you updated on what is happening at Red Rata, new products, features and other information that I think you may be interested in.

This way you can be more informed about making choices to live as naturally and healthy everyday. There are trillions of beauty and cleaning products out there but they are so full of chemicals that it is scary to even think what may be in some of them and what effects this may have on our bodies, and the beautiful country we live in.

So at Red Rata you can be assured that you have heaps of choices and can choose natural products, that are actually good for you, kind, gentle and are made right here in New Zealand, and they don't cost the earth.

I look forward to sharing the Red Rata experience with you.

Choose natural essentials and treat your body with the care it deserves.

So here we have it, Red Rata's first blog post, look back soon for more.
