Our freshly made rosehip oil is the kind of oil that makes skin look like it has been warmed by sunlight and treated to a good night’s sleep.

Benefits for the skin:

* Nourishes the skin with a beautiful
concentration of essential fatty acids

* Helps support a soft, supple, healthy-looking skin barrier

* Brings comfort to skin that feels dry, tired, or depleted

* Naturally rich in antioxidant compounds that help support radiant-looking skin

From fruit, seed, sun, and soil — a beautiful oil for skin that needs tending.

Doing what we do often takes us on unexpected paths . ☺️🍃💚

This time it led us to night-blooming plants.

Night-blooming plants hold a quiet beauty . They invite us to slow down ☺️. In the busyness of our lives, we tend to move quickly — but these lovely plants ask us to notice the shift in light, the cooling air, and that quiet moment when the garden begins to change. 🌓

I feel so lucky to be part of a special collaboration with the very talented artist kelly_mcdonald_photographs.

Together, we will learn about a small collection of plants that, once mature, will come alive at dusk: 4 o’clocks, nicotiana, evening primrose, and moonflower.

We grow them, and she turns them into timeless works of art.

Plants shaped by moonlight and the mystery of the garden after dark. 💚🍃

Does anyone else grow night-blooming plants?

Working on a beautifully potent calendula oil this evening that I’ll be using for a lovely healing calendula cream.

I think I’m going to do something a little different this time and add my delicately scented linden extract — it feels like that might be the perfect soft, soothing partner for calendula.

We have one large linden / tilleul tree in the yard and its flowers smell divine. I’ve been waiting for just the right product to use it with.☀️🩵🌼💚

Tulsi Daily Drops is my latest herbal extract which I have made using tulsi, or holy basil, a plant long cherished for its grounding, restorative character.

I personally love tulsi in spring, when everything is shifting and beginning again. It is often welcomed as a tonic herb for these in-between times — gently clearing, steadying, and renewing. Traditionally regarded as an adaptogen, tulsi is valued for supporting resilience, clarity, and a calm sense of wellbeing.

Taken daily, it brings a soft feeling of balance and vitality to the season.

Spring care can be simple.

More greens.
More water.
More seasonal herbs.
Lighter, fresher meals.
More movement.
Less heaviness.

Traditional health practices have such a beautiful way of connecting us to what is growing, what is needed seasonally and what helps the body feel supported this time of year.

Nothing extreme.
Just thoughtful, steady wellness support.
Caring for ourselves.
Coming back to the simple things 🙏

Plant Superheroes, tea making, and a room full of young plant detectives 🕵️ . I had such a fantastic time with the Grade 3 Garden Club sharing the magic of herbs and my very important job of plant detective for plants that make us happy and healthy 🥰🩵🩵🌱🌱🏡.

At the root of Happy Hollows’ farm-to-face line is a deeply personal search for skincare my skin could finally tolerate. After years of severe intolerances to conventional products, I discovered that simpler, plant-based care could offer what synthetic formulas could never do. Cold-pressed oil infusions were the turning point, and they remain part of the philosophy behind every formula I make.

What defines my approach:

• fresh plant infusions
• botanicals grown right here and gathered with care
• slow, small-batch formulation
• closely monitored from plant to jar
• no synthetic ingredients, no perfumes, and no nasty parabens

Clean, botanical skincare with depth, integrity, and intention. 🌱🩷
