Trying to cut back on coffee? You don’t have to do it all at once. ☕

🌿One gentle approach is to taper your routine slowly.

Start by brewing your usual coffee in a French press and replacing part of it with roasted chicory root. Then layer in supportive herbs like the ones in our Inflammation Support Tea featuring ginger, turmeric, and h**p. And eventually removing the coffee all together. 👍🏽

Over time, your morning ritual can shift from stimulation-only to something that feels grounding, nourishing, and supportive.

Why people love this swap:

☕ Chicory Root is full bodied with a rich roasted flavor, naturally caffeine-free, supports digestion and the microbiome

🌿 Ginger is warming and settling for digestion

✨ Turmeric supports everyday wellness and a healthy inflammatory response

🌱 H**p supports calm, balance, and body-wide wellness

Finish it your way, we’re sampling this coconut milk option from Aldi and loving the creamy texture.

🌿 Bonus: Our Buy One, Get One 50% Off sale is happening now online and in store on Urban Apothecary branded products.

The new Fox River Trail Guide is out, and we’re honored to be featured in more ways than one. 🌿

Inside this year’s guide, Cheryl shares some of her favorite places to roller skate along the Fox River Trail including routes through Batavia, North Aurora, Aurora, St. Charles, and Geneva.

She talks about why early mornings on the trail are her favorite, the beauty of moving your body in nature, and practical tips for both new and seasoned skaters.

As a lifelong skater and coach with the Aurora 88s Roller Derby , this feature feels especially meaningful.

You’ll also spot our upcoming Pride Ride Fundraiser with the Aurora 88s. Save the date: June 28. 🌈🛼

We love being part of a guide that celebrates local movement, fresh air, adventure, and all the beautiful ways people connect with this community.

Pick one up around Northern Illinois, then plan your next day outside:

🛼 Roll the trail 🚲 Bike the river path
🌿 Stop into Urban Apothecary and Fat Sam's for Pets for natural wellness supports
☕ Explore the towns along the way

Because wellness includes movement, joy, community, and time outside.

Fresh from the apothecary: a new batch of our handcrafted botanical roller is here, made in house with frankincense, rose, and comfrey, slowly infused with care and intention. 🌿

Before the final blend settles, the natural layers of each infusion create this beautiful moment of plant alchemy.

Each infusion takes its place with the comfrey floating to the top despite us adding it second. Once slightly shaken, It's thoroughly mixed, with some flecks of Rose which we like to keep where it's at.

Each herb was chosen with purpose:
🌿 Comfrey is traditionally used in topical preparations to support areas that feel overworked after movement and daily activity

🌹 Rose is added with loving intention, for soothing, softening, and balancing for both skin and ritual

✨ Frankincense is long valued in body care for comfort, grounding, and restorative support

Designed for the places that ask the most of us: shoulders, hands, knees, feet, and anywhere that could use a little extra care after real life.

Because wellness can be practical… and beautiful.

📢 Today feels like the right day to share something personal. For many years, my life was shaped by inflammation, pain, hospital stays, medications, and daily uncertainty that can come when your body feels like it is working against you. 🌸 Hi, its Cheryl.

In 2017, I began making deeper changes like cleaning up my diet, moving my body consistently, spending more time in nature, and treating self-care as essential.

Recently, I received news from my latest bloodwork that my ANA markers are now negative, and my autoimmune illnesses are in remission. I'M IN REMISSION!!!! 🥳🙌🏽 I share this not as a promise or prescription, because every body and every path is different. I share it because healing can be layered. Progress can be slow. And small, steady choices can matter more than we realize.

International Wellness Day was officially proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly to promote holistic health, mental and physical balance, and sustainable living. It aims to make wellness practices accessible, inclusive, and affordable for everyone.

My lived experience is deeply woven into Urban Apothecary. It is why I care so much about thoughtful ingredients, daily rituals, nervous system support, education, and creating a space where people feel seen and supported while finding what works for their own body.

Wellness, to me, has never been about perfection. It has been about partnership with the body, one step at a time. If you are in your own season of healing, I hope this reminds you that change is possible, even when it takes longer than expected. 🤍

— Cheryl
