Meet our Sister Elena of Sand & Fire Designs! 🔥☀️

Sand & Fire was born as an act of love, and as a way to invite you to connect with nature. Our Sister Elena crafts high-quality jewellery and homewares inspired by the Australian landscape. She works with upcycled seaglass that she collects from local beaches, helping to keep the ocean cleaner. She also creates hand sculpted ceramic. Everything is slow made with intention, and Elena believes these perfectly imperfect objects have a way to store positive energy.

Meet our Sister Celeste of Miluny 💜

A lifelong passion for creating skincare and natural products from natural sources has led Celeste to set up Miluny Beauty, which offers a range of organic earth-sourced skincare and wellbeing items made from clays and plants known to indigenous Australians, and which Celeste hopes will soon become popular with everyone else.

Miluny Beauty offers liquid washes made from things like lemon aspen or roasted wattle , along with steam cloths and face masks.

Celeste’s background in beauty therapy and retail stands her in good stead when it comes to expanding her business. Outlets and retailers of Miluny Beauty products will will include gift stores, beauty, day spas, bed and breakfasts, florist stores, baby shops, yoga studios and suchlike. Celeste wants to make her friendly products available in bulk where customers can refill their own containers. She’s also planning ‘experience evenings’ where she visits women in their homes to explain her products and share her knowledge about what can be created from ingredients they already have in their kitchen cupboards.

Celeste, a proud Darug women from the Barramattagal mob from the west Sydney region, says her business allows her to impart her love of creating and to share nature’s recipes for the skin with other women. “I really want to share my blends and mixes as they are wholesome natural and of our land,” says Celeste. Sharing with other women is an integral aspect of Miluny Beauty.

Being part of Sister Tribe is aligned with Celeste’s values when it comes to her own business. “I am so inspired and love it,” she says. “Seeing women getting ahead in a positive way. I just want to give back as well.

A message from our Founder, Mandy Richards 💜

Global Sisters has partnered with LIFTwomen® Group to provide our business women with a new means for generating startup & growth capital! It is no secret that $ investment falls woefully short for women-led businesses, but if you take a deeper look at micro businesses (which make up 92.3% of all businesses in Australia) you will find funding opportunities are virtually non existent. This seems odd given this is the pipeline for future business of all sizes??

We are therefore super EXCITED to create a partnership that helps get around this barrier for our Sisters, who need this opportunity to enable business success & financial independence!
