Fresh Raw Orepuki Honey
This range of magic is created by Ruby - 12yr old. Of course, under the watchful eye of her mum at Hippie Daze. Ruby has had a keen interest in all things healing and magic since she was born. At the moment she makes a selection of bathing products, cleansing tools, balms, candles, macrame and soon wants to offer oracle readings.

Ruby is a young entrepreneur trying to make her way in the world, support is deeply appreciated.
