So over Christmas I got thinking about how to make 2012 more interesting than ever. And then while on holiday we got a little too much sun. Not over the top lobster red, but a little more of the summer rays than we would have liked. So we went to the garden and grabbed ourselves a piece of Aloe Vera. If you have never used Aloe Vera on sun burn then you must, it’s extraordinary. And that’s when I got an idea…
I realised that the world will be a better place when every home has an Aloe Vera plant. Even if all you have is a small veranda, you can stick it in a pot and it will work. If you live in hotter regions like we do in Queensland it’s essential, you have no choice. Suddenly you have your own pharmacy at hand, it’s not mixed with alcohol or other preservatives, and it just keeps growing. Seriously, if you live on the Gold Coast it will grow like crazy.
So if I want to make the world a better place what do I have to do? Then I got it. I went out to the gardening shop, got some little holders to put some dirt into and grabbed some baby Aloe Vera plants from our garden and stuck in a hundred of them. That’s how you have a good time on holidays!
Now what? I’m about to give them away to anyone who wants them. Not quite yet, but very soon. So as soon as they are ready I’ll give you a yell and come in and grab one and change your life. You don’t have to come into Studio Qi for a treatment, just pop in and say hi and there will be one waiting for you.
And then we’ll make the world a better place. See you soon. Brad.

Fabulous idea! Thanks Brad. I definately would like to have one of those. See you soon.
Thanks Ying. Will let you know when ready and leave one aside. See you soon.
this is what i'm talking about!! where do you pull these random, awesome ideas!! I went to the garden and chopped some parsley last night but not for one second did the idea of sharing the plant pop into my head haha
top work Brad!
Now we're talking Dan, can't wait to get my bunch of freshly cut parsley. Why didn't I think of that?
Yes it can grow a bit wild on the Gold Coast - very wise to keep in pots!! Many years ago, we put a whole wheelbarrow full on our footpath to give away - it worked!! - So yes with move of location, I would love some more - not only good for sunburn, but for kiddy cuts and scraps - keep a leaf (with thorns removed!) in fridge - even more soothing. We have tons of cucumbers growing - great for eating (& tired eyes!!). Can swap you ... Now there's a thought - why not have a produce swap day??!!! Not market quantities, but just all those extras that the family can't (won't) eat - we have herbs, tomatoes, beans, etc...
You're a genesis Judy. Love all the ideas with the Aloe, cucumber and especially the swap. It somehow brings together many of the things that I have been thinking about. Will get back to you.
