Michelle See has had a long and interesting career starting out at 15 as a hairdresser and later a beauty therapist. After Michelle had her children she opened and operated her own retail shops. During this time, she also used her marketing knowledge to advise other small businesses on marketing, strategy, and customer relations.
Following this Michelle ran a direct marketing company and within a few years had turned this into a thriving company. Going on to be named the CEO Michelle continued in this role for 12 years, growing this business to over 300 staff in three countries and then going on to start her own company. Unfortunately, because of her many health battles at that time, she was forced to retire.
Michelle’s life took a dramatic turn when she was diagnosed with a serious illness requiring extensive surgery. All of this illness has culminated with Michelle searching for natural ways to help her eliminate toxins from her body and her home. Michelle now teaches workshops in naturally handmade, some would be considered “old fashioned” DIY ways, to make everything from preserves to skincare.
Michelle says “I actually grew up with a fabulous grandmother who was old school and made everything from scratch. So, I watched and learned and feel it is a real shame that today’s young people aren’t learning these skills and everything is purchased instead of handmade.”
Michelle also loves to upcycle and DIY to encourage less consumerism while also living luxe for less as she doesn’t feel that you have to compromise beauty for ethics. Michelle now lives with her husband in semi-retirement on an acreage property where she now aspires in spite of her illnesses to live her best life.

DIY Geode Bath Bomb Craft Box / Kit
This was fun, but I can't say I was successful in creating a geode bath bomb. I attempted several times, hoping to squish a bit more mixture into the mould, thinking it wasn't full enough, and checking the consistency, but each time my bath bombs would crumble. I ended up scooping the bath bomb mixture into an airtight container and will use by pouring into the bath. The kit has enough mixture to + more

Skincare and Haircare Craft Box
I'm not quite sure what I expected from this craft box. I wasn't a fan of the single use packets although I understand that it needed to be packaged so the ingredient as weighed/measured to the correct amount plus be light weight. The face cream didn't turn out right due to lack of having a small double boiler and only 1 microwave to heat water and cream ingredients. The vitamin C serum was hard to + more
Reply from this provider:
Hi Sarah, There is a video tutorial for this did you not want that ? I am not really sure why only having one doubler boiler and microwave was an issue, as I use the same myself. Your right a big whisk would never work for the vitamin c serum I just simply mix with a teaspoon. I am happy for you to join a class and watch me do the cream it isn’t very hard at all once you know how Michelle

This was a fantastic class! Had such a relaxing and replenishing day.
