@mamamilahome IS NOW LIVE 🎉 My family regularly came home with tough stains on their clothes but usual laundry products were so harsh on their sensitive skin, so I created Mama Mila Home, a range of 100% natural laundry products that are gentle on skin but powerful at removing tough stains. The range includes: 🌻 Our Natural Laundry Powder, which is ultra-concentrated - you only need 2 teaspoons per full load of laundry! It’s made with plant-based ingredients and cleans your washing machine while it cleans your clothes - win win! 🌻 Our Miracle Stain Remover, which removes tough stains on your laundry (and all around your home!). It can be used to remove tough stains on clothes, clean burnt pans, whiten grout and even clean your toilet! 🌻 Our Reusable Spray Bottles, for all your DIY spray needs! You guys know how many DIY sprays I make - so I designed a beautiful but practical spray bottle with a handy measuring guide built into the side. We are now live in Australia (USA launch coming soon!) and shipping your orders out to you this week - you can shop the range online now mamamilahome.com.au ♥️ #laundryhacks #laundrytips #laudryproducts #ecofriendly #cleanhome #cleanliving #laundryday #laundryroom #laundryroomdecor

How gorgeous is our new artwork from @bluethumbart 😍 this piece is called Metallic Rose by Bluethumb artist Taylor Rose and brings so much warmth to our living room. As Australia’s largest online art gallery, there’s something for every taste and space on Bluethumb - you’ll never need to look for art anywhere else! 1. Large artwork in a small space draws the eye upwards and makes the room appear bigger 2. I love to then pick 2-3 colours from the artwork and bring those colours into the space to create cohesion 3. Hide messy wires using stick-on hooks on the back of your furniture 4. Store remotes in baskets to reduce visual clutter 5. And opt for an oversized rug to make floor space appear larger #gifted #homehacks #hometips #homesweethome #homestyling #tipsandtricks #homedesign #homeinspiration #organisingtips
