Wanderlighty with me
Kia ora, I’m Sarah, Mama of one and the woman behind Wanderlightly and a Kiwi living on the gorgeous Northern Beaches of Sydney. I’m a passionate earth custodian, holistic skincare creator, and imperfect low waste living educator looking to make a difference to our collective mother.
In 2014 I went to Tonga to swim with the majestic and sentient Humpback Whale and witnessed first-hand the devastating effects of Plastic Pollution. This had such a deep impact on me and inspired to start my own journey to reduce my plastic use & go plastic-free for a year.
It was from here that my passion for creating skincare clean natural skincare using premium plant-based ingredients in earth friendly packaging began as I couldn’t find anything that ticked those boxes and actually worked.
Fast forward 10 years to the present day and Wanderlightly has become a space for people to connect and learn practical
ways to reduce waste, however imperfectly, using products that nourish both skin and earth.
It is my deep honour to work with you and collaboratively connect us back to both earth and community and wander a
wee bit lighter on this land.
