✨ Don't Fever the Fever ✨

🥵As we move through cold & flu season, fevers can feel scary—but they’re often a sign that the body is doing exactly what it was designed to do!

💪🏼A fever is part of the immune system’s natural response. It’s one of the ways the body creates an environment that’s less comfortable for unwanted invaders while your defenses get to work.

🧠Things to keep in mind:
• Mild to moderate fevers are very common during illness
• Hydration is especially important
• Rest supports the immune system while it does its job
• The way someone FEELS is just as important as the number on the thermometer

🤒Fevers don’t automatically mean something is wrong—but knowing when to seek extra support is important. Very high or persistent fevers, or fevers in infants, always deserve professional attention.

✨Product Restock!!✨
edited to update quantity

This isn’t a full restock, but it’s the best I could pull together real quick! 🌱🍯

I do only have 7 Kits available. These are a mix of either Elderberry SYRUP and Pineapple Oxymel or the Elderberry OXYMEL and the Pineapple OXYMEL, your choice!

I will NOT be at Brooksville Farmers Market at Central Florida Beef this weekend because I just didn’t have enough product ready in time to do the market justice!

However, I am able to make deliveries any day but Saturday! If you start feeling crummy do not hesitate to call, I will come to you!! That’s what I do! 🫶🏼ty

📣Waste Not Wednesday!📣

🫶🏼I might have to start doing a little Wednesday segment of all the ways I try to reduce, reuse, recycle, and reinvent.

✌🏼This week I have two “Waste-Not” projects under way.

🦌The first is a second round of venison bone broth. From this batch of bones, that would have otherwise been waste, I will get at least 4 quarts of bone broth, 4 quarts of bone meat in broth, and a tiny little jelly jar of tallow. These Florida deer are skinnyyyyy, but I cannot explain my joy when I get to season my cast iron with home rendered venison tallow! Too cool!

🫐The second project is an idea I got from a local homesteader named Ms Cindy. I took all the elderberry scraps from our batch yesterday and put it through the dehydrator, now all I need to do is run it through the grinder and I’ll have Elderberry seasoning, perfect for breads, muffins, pancakes, and even a light tea.

Waste not, want not, right?!

✨What are some creative ways you’ve found for reducing waste in your kitchen?✨

👊🏼“Power to the people, stick it to the man!”
-Captain Fantastic

🫶🏼I LOVE to barter. It is my single most favorite way to acquire things. I cannot think of a better way to give power back to the people than to be able to make cashless trades for goods.

This isn’t meant to be a political post, but rather an empowerment post and an open invite to offer me trades for Elderberry Syrup! 😆

✨Thanks to Amanda at The Rustic Heifer for offering such a trade today! I cannot wait to share your amazing soaps with my bestie! ✨

✨We’re BACK!!✨

🌳After a much needed week away in the woods, we are back!!

☀️We took a little trip to DeSoto State Park in Ft Payne, AL. The kids said they wanted trails and waterfalls and caves and I will NEVER say no to that!

🦌This was such a beautiful place. We found so many natives plants, adorable little amphibians, and deer!!!!

🌿I have been searching for wild Witchhazel for years and I was walking along the “Violet Trail” and I FOUND HER!!! I cannot explain my excitement! I didn’t take anything from her but joy, but one day I’ll have a little Witchhazel of my own at home. 🫶🏼

🙌🏽But while I am back in the kitchen this morning getting more Elderberry started I’ll leave a little montage of our trip for you to enjoy.

✨What Is Cupping??✨

💆🏻‍♀️Have you ever scheduled for a massage and heard they offer cupping but weren’t sure what it was and didn’t want to ask?

🧐Revitalize Wellness Studios describes cupping as “…a decompression of the tissue allowing better circulation of the blood and bringing the body's attention and healing properties to the Fascia (superficial tissue) that will allow more range of motion while decreasing pain. Cupping is especially good for joint injuries and to break up scar tissue.”

😌These therapies have ancient roots and have been used for many reasons “including pain relief, inflammation reduction, improved blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a deep-tissue massage”.

🙌🏽After the year we’ve all had in 2025, I think a deep tissue massage with a cupping treatment sounds absolutely amazing right about now!

📣Reach out to Laura and Revitalize Wellness Studios in Springhill, FL to get scheduled today! (Link in comments 🫶🏼)
