Today was a little difficult at the shop. My friend that has been with me since before starting the journey I'm currently on has passed on from this world. He had so much personality and we all loved him dearly. I will miss Finlee very much.

🌿✨ Spring and Summer Massage Oil is Ready! ✨🌿

After weeks of slow infusion, my herbal massage oil is finally complete! The process of straining and finishing the oil is just as intentional as the infusion itself—ensuring a smooth, nourishing blend that feels incredible on the skin.

💛 Straining the infusion: First, I gently press the oil through fine cheesecloth (or linen) to remove the bulk of the herbs, then carefully filter it again through a coffee filter. This extra step removes tiny plant remnants, helping to extend the oil’s shelf life.

💛 The final touch: To achieve the perfect consistency—luxurious yet versatile—I blend in sunflower oil. This creates a silky texture that works beautifully for both deep tissue work and gentle, relaxing massage.

💛 The scent? Simply divine. Hints of rose, lavender, and chamomile shine through, offering a light, uplifting aroma that soothes both body and mind.

This batch is pure herbal bliss, and I can’t wait to share it! 🌿💆‍♀️✨
