Once again I'll be at OG Bardic Wells Meadery offering henna, this week raising funds for the final few supplies I need before our very first flock of ducklings arrive in 12 days!!

Come on out, enjoy a delicious brew, fantastic fellowship while getting a customized temporary piece of body art...all while supporting your local small businesses and artisans!

See you there!
XOXO ~ Heather 👣

Over the years, I’ve brought this offering to festivals, retreats, and gatherings—but when I looked into vending inside Electric Forest this year… my heart sank a bit. The booth fees have grown so incredibly high that for small, independent artists like myself, it’s simply not sustainable. Even with a team working long, exhausting days, it would be nearly impossible just to break even.
And I know I’m not alone in feeling that.

So… I listened to that nudge in my soul—the one that says there’s always another way.

With the blessing and a formal permit from the city of Rothbury, and permission from neighbors, I’ll be opening my own little bohemian oasis just outside the forest… right on the corner of S. 80th, alongside S. Water Rd—the very road that carries you into the magic!!

A sacred pause before the journey ✨

My space will be a cozy, light-filled 13x13 octagon gypsy cabana… a place for you and your friends to gather, breathe, and get adorned before stepping into the forest.

I will be offering:
*Traditional Henna – slow, intentional, and deeply grounding
*Festival Body Art using non-toxic, waterproof body pens – perfect for Forest life (no dry time, no stress, just beauty and flow)

And most importantly.. Fair, honest pricing

I will never inflate my prices just because it’s a festival. I’m just a bohemian soul trying to support my growing little local homestead and continue doing what I love ~ connecting with people like you.
I’ll be offering both appointments and walk-ins during the day and early evening. If this calls to you, I would love to connect—please feel free to PM me

I’ll be posting available dates and times very soon so early birds can get ideal time slots.

Until then…I can’t wait to meet you, share space, and add a little extra magic to your Forest journey!

Xoxo~ Heather the barefoot gypsy👣✨❤️

I've fallen too far out of balance. Time to get back to the things that make me happiest and grounded!

So...Ive got a problem guys!! This is NOT ok!
FB SPONTANEOUSLY reloaded itself on my phone!

Last week Wednesday I logged out and uninstalled it from my phone. No, I didnt just remove it from my main screen but fully uninstalled it!

This morning I woke up to a ton of FB notifications.

How the hell is this possible? Im going to uninstall it again and see what happens. This is NOT ok!

Birthday weekend was wonderful for both Bran and I! While he had mini celebrations all week with a fun DnD Birthday sleep over at a friend's house. I was taken to dinner Friday evening to the Muskegon Country Club Lake Bluff Grill for the most delicious meal, a massage and an Outlander marathon. Then on my birthday morning I was suprised with an early morning, sunrise hike at PJ, then Black Lake then breakfastat our favoritespot Cozy Corner Cafe .

I was so happy and overcome, I cried and weaped most of the time while hiking. Matt wasn't suprised. Cassie was overjoyed and wildly!! That girl KNEW the secondwe pulled in and she started whining and bouncingin the back seat!! She was pretty bummed we didnt let her zip down the dune and swim like I normally would have but man it was great to see her so happy!

You guys know how ingrained Hoffmaster State Park is in my soul. Sadly I havent set foot there in over 2 years. I dream about it regularly, yearn and grieve for it and have done full meditations just walking it by memory. When you greet the sun within a forests fold every day for as many consecutive years as I did...its bound to become a part of you.

I said hello to tree friends Ive longed to touch and cried as I placed hands on bark that felt so familiar and welcoming. This forest was my hearts refuge, my therapist, my magical wonder....when we moved, this is what I grieved for. Not the big house or the pretty things... my connection to source and myself.

It was rejuvenating, balancing and soul nourishing. Exactly what this weary 45 year old heart needed.
