Small Business on a Friday night❤️

A peek at my Friday night... Chapstick making, deodorant pouring, wine sipping, podcast listening, Mason showing me tricks in his dad's office chair. THIS is small business...it never stops, and I love every minute of it. The online store and brick and mortar are being restocked this weekend. Much love💓✌🏼

Working on fun gifts this week. I have citrus and sore muscles himalayan bath soak.
They are a one time use packet...perfect for gifts or stocking stuffers🖤🛀

I think I've told everyone who's sat in my salon chair that I'm not looking forward to winter this year...at all. Which is not like me. I love all the seasons for the treasures that each one holds. Today after work I plucked the last bit of veggies from the garden and put on some cinnamon tea(literally cinnamon sticks and simmering water, the best!) I like to use winter to retreat inward and grow. Tonight, I settled for rest, tea, and my book.❤️ Here's to the coming of winter☕...if we must...

Preparing more soap for @rockcreeklodgeks!!
Organic lavender soap, topped with white roses.

Our harvest has been bountiful!! Now to wash and put away for later use💚 I even managed to pluck some rose hips for tea🌹

New perfume!
Jasmine & Vanilla
This is probably the most feminine scent I make and I'm loving it🖤✌🏼

So I know this girl who makes jewelry... I requested something the represented my husband and kids...she knocked it out of the park. It means so much to me. Happy to call her my friend @sandcastlejewelry ❤️💍

Fall has slowly crept into our home...mostly because not one part of me wants to give up summer!! 🍂🍁
Also the kids came home from school and thought I decorated for a party 🤣🤷

He gives me a run for my money most days but his heart is gentle. He says "mom I'm just going to pet this plant" then proceeds to tell his sister " don't pick the moss off my rock it makes it more special" ❤️🌿 he also spends most days shirtless and barefoot 🤷 #mysonshine #mason

Some of my favorite plant medicine in my basket today! 🌿🌼
Passions flower aka passiflora incarnate(nervine) used for sleep and sensory overload. Helps to calm the nervous system.
Chamomile aka Matricaria chamomilla (adaptogen) great for relaxation and sleep l give it to my kiddos because it's so gentle.
Milk thistle aka Silybum marianum great for detoxing the liver.
These will dry and become part of my herbal teas. Find them at @therusticiron @theworkroomict or at www.urbanapothecaryks.com

Book your special occasion at my friend's venue. The views are beautiful, and the hospitality can't be beat💍👰🥳 @rockcreeklodgeks

Creating today 💚💚💚

What a way to end our day. We went for a long walk Sunday and we came across wild bergamot and yarrow. I didn't bring my basket so tonight we went back and picked.

Our first garden on the farm is doing very well👩‍🌾 our tomatoes are killing it! I can't wait for the coming weeks💚🦋

💚✌🏼

You guys!!! I've been swamped and knee deep in hair at the salon. Today is my day off and I've spent it restocking the shelves!! Rosemary Bergamot soap is still a star at the salon BUT look at my lilac soap...I changed it up a bit. I colored it pearl and topped with hand cut wildflowers from the farm. Still all organic ingredients 💚🦋

The kids and I, along with our cat and dog, went for a walk this evening...these beauties we're all in our ditch! We did some wildflower medicine identification. I also reminded them which were poison and which ones we absolutely do not eat. These will be soap toppers♥️🌛🌞🌱🖤

A little gardening fun fact: save your egg shells🥚. I simply rinse and air dry on the counter. When I have about 2 dozen (dried shells) I'll grind them and sprinkle in the garden. I sprinkle throughout the garden, but it's great as you're planting to put in each hole you dig.
*Adds minerals to your soil💊
*Deters deer, snails and slugs🦌🐌
***Save and grind thoughout the winter for enough to start your garden with in the spring***

How's life for you? Me? I'm over here dehydrating fruit for tea and adding to my apothecary. I'm unsure at this point what the "right" thing to be doing is. I have established some new routines. Tea comes on every night at 7:30. I read every morning. My hair is a mess, my face has no make-up. Social media is almost non-existent. So much for us to be thankful for but yet so much I'm concerned about. Do I have the answers?? No. All I can hope for you is that you are making it through. Pick up a book, make some tea, go for a run, play in the garden, and remember where there is darkness there is light. Much love✌🏻😘🌞

While the herbs hang out, I may as well show off their beauty. This room is officially my favorite room in the house🖤🌿🌹

Things I'm thankful for during social distancing {which is a phrase I now hate} ... A supportive marriage, my family and friends. Music🎼 nature🌲 my side hustle {Urban Apothecary} books📖 coffee, tea & wine.... To say I'm ready to go back to my salon is an understatement. I miss conversation with customers, brainstorming with the badass women I work with, and planning weekends of fun and travel. 🗺️
