Day 2 of my magnesium cold plunge and let me tell you…
this is not your average dip in cold water.

This is 58° of mineral-rich, skin-tingling, circulation-boosting brine, basically a backyard Dead Sea, and the moment it hit my collarbones, my soul briefly clocked out.

This picture captures the exact second my body went:
“Ma’am… this is chilly AND spicy.”

But this is why I’m doing it:

🧂 Magnesium + cold plunging = the perfect anti-inflammatory storm
🧂 Magnesium relaxes muscles and calms the nervous system
❄️ Cold plunging activates brown fat, circulation, and resilience
🧂 Together they boost recovery, metabolism, and overall healing
❄️ And they humble you in ways you can see on my face here

Today I went up to my neck for 3 full minutes.
It doesn’t look that deep in the picture… but trust me… that water was introducing itself to every nerve ending I own.

I’m proud of myself.
This mineral plunge is already helping with inflammation and I feel calmer, clearer, and stronger each time I get out.

If I keep this up, I’m going to be unstoppable by spring.
Here’s to doing hard things… even when you’re making this exact face while doing them.

This is how you level up your cold plunge!

Don’t mind me over here being quiet… I’m just elbows-deep in jars prepping for Black Friday.

But listen…

If you need something now, don’t wait. I’m not hiding stock or saving anything for later.

The Wild Ramp is restocked!

Elderberry is one of my favorite seasonal staples… rich in antioxidants and supportive to the immune system. I make mine the old-school way with whole berries, ginger, clove, cinnamon, and a touch of honey after it cools. No fillers, no shortcuts… just a small-batch, potent syrup you can feel good about keeping on hand through the cold months.

Grab a bottle at The Wild Ramp or order online!

I don’t talk about my head injury much because it’s hard to describe something you can’t remember… but the aftermath shaped a lot of who I am and how I work today.

I was a passenger in a car that was hit by a train. I had three bleeding fractures on the left side of my brain and had to relearn how to talk. The left frontal region controls language… reading, writing, vocabulary, speech. All the basic things I use every day in my business.

For years after the accident I dealt with severe migraines. At some point they eased up. I don’t know if they naturally improved or if long-term magnesium use played a role. I just know magnesium chloride can cross the blood brain barrier and it has documented benefits for neuro recovery and calming overactive neural pathways. That connection has never been lost on me.

It’s wild to think about it now. Every day I speak, I write, I communicate, I learn new plant terms, I explain ingredients, I break down herbal actions… things that were once stripped from me completely. I don’t take that lightly.

If anything, it’s a reminder that the body can rebuild… the brain can reroute… and the simplest everyday abilities can be the result of years of unseen healing.

Sometimes I forget that these little jars go farther than my own front porch.
Then I’ll see someone pull one out of their travel bag and call it a “must-have,” and I just stop for a second.

What started on my kitchen counter is now tagging along on work trips to New York City. It’s one thing to believe in what you make, it’s another to see other people believe in it too.

I’ll never get over seeing something I made by hand become part of someone’s everyday life. Thank you, Aliyah, for sharing Frankinsalve!

I’m curious, how many of these sound familiar?

• Fatigue
• Muscle cramps
• Anxiety
• Insomnia
• Constipation
• Mood swings

If you said “yep” to more than one… it might be magnesium.

Nearly 80% of adults are deficient, and it affects everything from your energy to your sleep.

I make Magnesium Butter because it absorbs through the skin bypassing the gut. It's fast, gentle, and effective.

If you know, you know!

Vacation? No thanks, Could’ve been sipping margaritas… but apparently I prefer labeling jars.
