Jurlique was founded in 1985 in South Australia by chemist and a horticulturist Jurgen Klein and his wife Ulrike. Their mission was to generate sustainability within a farm system that would create a mutual benefit for all those involved. From the herbs and flowers they planted – calendula, lavender, chamomile, marshmallow, and rosemary – to the products that became Jurlique, their farm in South Australia became the model for creating beauty products infused with living energy from the earth. Their goal in all of their development is to be the global leader and innovator in biodynamic and organic skin care. The result is sharing with the world the benefits of organics and going “green.”

Jurgen Klein and his wife are pioneers in a new way of sustainable farming. Today, each harvest is still tended with the same care and detailed focus that began on a farm in South Australia over twenty years ago. They believe nature trumps chemistry every time. This belief has driven them to be an independent alternative skin care company for consumers who believe in a relationship between health, beauty, the earth, and all living things. They continue to lead the way forward with great passion.

As a beauty company, Jurlique is passionate about the potency and purity of every single one of their natural, plant-based products. They nurture their “biodynamical” grown plants and herbs with great care and integrity at their Australian farm. Jurlique is one of the first and only companies with products containing natural preservative systems, and they are working towards development of a natural emulsifying system. As well, they source the purest and most innovative ingredients from around the world. The resulting blends harness the living energy of plants and translate that energy into luxurious, vital products that foster timeless radiance and natural good health.

Jurlique Skin Care is a leader in the natural skin care market made from calendula, lavender, licorice, chamomile, marshmallow, rosemary and more. Jurlique Skin Care products are made from natural plants and botanicals that are taken from two biodynamic farms that cover over 150 acres and are owned by Jurlique. On these farms are grown over 35 varieties of plants and flowers. All plants are organic, and the farming methods are sustainable and biodynamic.

Jurlique Skin Care is well known among the lines of luxury skin care products. Founded by a chemist, and inspired by a philosopher, the Jurlique Skin Care Line is based on the principle of connecting people to nature’s life cycles. Based on this philosophy, the Jurlique Skin Care line of luxury beauty products is infused with living energy, and is one of the most decadent and luxurious lines on the market. Each of their products is developed with a specific “living energy blend” – a custom blend of their biodynamically and organically grown herbs and flowers, that when combined in their formulas, re-balances the skin, naturally with biodynamic beauty, completely unlike any other, that is Jurlique.

Since 1985, Jurlique has maintained the vision: “We hold ourselves to the strictest standards in the growing, developing, and sourcing of our ingredients. We seek to develop products with as many of the herbs and flowers grown on our farms as we possibly can. When that is not possible, we source from other biodynamic or organic farms. For those ingredients which do not yet exist in biodynamic or organic forms, we use all-natural or naturally-derived versions – and all of this with companies that practice fair trade.

Providing quality 100% organic skin care products, hand cream and natural cosmetics from well known brands such as Weleda, Jurlique, Dr. Hauschka and more.

You have moved into your dream home, or your next stop on the property ladder, unpacked all of your boxes, and put everything in its place. Your house looks great, with one big exception ” that huge pile of broken down cardboard boxes in the corner of the basement. What do you do with this unsightly fire hazard? Before you drag all of the boxes to the curb to be sent to the landfills, consider your options for recycling them

Donate Your Boxes Believe it or not, you can donate your boxes to the companies that sell new and used moving boxes. Many companies take a portion of the proceeds from the sale of boxes they receive as a donation and pass it on to needy members of the local community. So by donating your boxes you are helping in two ways. You are keeping extra cardboard out of the environment and the landfills, where it will gradually rot while taking up tons of space, and you are also helping needy people within your local community.

When you donate your boxes, call the company first to see how they want you to package them. You may need to make sure all of the boxes are clean, and you may need to break them down. This makes them easier to store for the company that will be reselling them. However, before you start breaking them down, call, because you will be wasting your time if this is not required. Some companies even provide pick-up services for people with a lot of boxes to get rid of.

Offer Them to Someone Else Do you know someone who is moving too? They might want your boxes, and they might be willing to come and get them from you. If not, put an ad in your paper or in one of the many free online classifieds for your local area letting people know that you have boxes available. If you are donating them to a stranger, make sure you arrange for a safe pick up scenario. You do not necessarily want a stranger to enter your home to pick up boxes, but you could meet in a public location or drag your boxes outside for him to take.

If All Else Fails, Recycle If you cannot find a place to donate your boxes to, look into your options for recycling them. Check with your local recycling center to find out what the procedure is for recycling cardboard boxes. You will probably need to break them down and stack them. Do not just drag the boxes to the curb, as you will not be assured that it is the recycling truck that picks them up versus the regular garbage truck. Make sure that you make all of the necessary arrangements for a proper pick up.

If curbside pick up is not available, find out where you can take them to be recycled. This is a hassle, but when you stop and think about the fact that most of the paper waste in today’s landfills is cardboard, you will understand the importance of recycling those boxes.

Remember, if you are using quality moving boxes, they are probably in good shape after your move. Someone else can, and should, benefit from your unneeded boxes. You can save someone a lot of money by donating them to a moving box company or a friend in need, and you will be doing your part to keep our landfills clear. As an added bonus, you will have a spot in your basement to use for your actual treasures, rather than those unwanted, unattractive cardboard boxes.
