Tune In with F&F
We might be physically distancing right now but we still need to be staying in touch and staying social so here at Flora & Fauna we have been talking to our extended community to see how we can bring some of the inspirational things they are doing and the knowledge they have into your lives.
Make way for 'Tune In with F&F'! We'll be bringing you different events online on our Facebook and Instagram channels that you can tune into both physically and mentally. We hope this is a way for you to tune into you for a short while and also pick up some new tips and tricks. We have some phenomenal people lined up and if you have any thoughts on what you'd like to hear let me know.
We'll put the schedule below as and when we have it. It could be yoga, meditation or a makeup tutorial. Many of these events will be live but some will be pre-recorded. The world is ours, and therefore your, oyster!
