Bring a little of the forest inside with you. Our Ancient Cedar Whipped Sugar Soufflé has been handcrafted with luxurious ingredients and admired for its grounding, sophisticated and earthy floral scent profile. This blend offers calming, mood enhancing, and emotional balancing properties. Containing incredible skin pampering ingredients that may help reduce inflammation, boost radiance and reduce acne scaring. This is a favorite at Apotheroots.

The whipped Sugar Soufflé is soap with some extra wonderful ingredients that make it super hydrating + conditioning. It also foams as it gently exfoliates.

You put a little on your finger tips and rub it onto your wet skin to form a lather that is silky + smooth. Smells absolutely spa like. It is in our store now as well as at our retail partner in Arlington,at Clover Coffee.

Hello, I’m Candice.

Some of you will know me, others we are just meeting. To those who know me, If you haven’t noticed yet, I have changed the name of my Apothecary from {Pulan Healing Apothecary} to {Apotheroots}

(I will explain why later in this post.)

Side note: Even before any of this, I ran a small hobby farm with my husband Manny called {Chappel Chicks Farm}. It did well. It was so much fun. Although it was just a hobby farm, it was A LOT of work but we loved it so much. I found myself taking photos daily and sharing it with the world.

Started out raising chickens (learning so much from my husband Manny regarding raising chickens) eventually gravitated towards making soap; harvesting my own herbs such as dandelions, comfrey, lavender, lemon balm, and creating herb infused oils, wax, etc. I was not only good at it but I loved creating from nature based products.

Of course, life happened and directions of change took place. I took a break from chickens, farming; all of it. I was also going through a many changes. Perhaps this was part of the “spiritual journey” which taught me the importance of boundaries, and the lack thereof which pushed me to make other choices.

Pivoting back to Pulan. The reason, I changed the name is because my original Pulan FB page was hacked back in Nov ‘23, as well as my paypal account linked. Somehow, my Chappel Chicks Farm Instagram page (which was not being monitored) got stolen thus getting my original personal FB page linked that I created in 2007 suspended; leaving no access to our farm page. They tried running ads from my Pulan account (in which they changed the name to “fashion woman 2”) out of another country. What’s more frustrating, is they did absolutely nothing creative with the page that I worked so hard to build!

With all that going on, as well as a huge career shift (becoming a FT traveling Phlebotomist) I ended up stepping away from social media!

I supposed it was meant to be; taking that hiatus. The break, allowed me to work on my security.

Secondly, I have decided that {Apotheroots} was a better description of what I am creating! A rooted approach to healing; paired with the wisdom of nature. I have a few book ideas, reiki classes in the works + more luxurious products being formulated.

So much to come in 2026! 💋

On the surface, Apotheroots is a herbal apothecary shop, here to supply you with safe products for the body, spirit and mind. But, we more than that alone. We are educators, learners, proponent of growth and sustainability.

The gifts of nature, when combined with ancient wisdom, can be life changing. When you bring together nature and ancient wisdom, you cultivate peace, growth, knowledge, energy and tranquility.

Like most people, my life has been full of experiences of every kind. I have been through good, bad, happy, sad, tragic, and miraculous moments.

These experiences, however, are just feelings that last for a period of time, whether short or long.

With Apotheroots, I wanted to pinpoint these emotions and concentrate on a feeling that has consistently brought me to a place of contentment. Analyzing all the components and feelings of my life brought me to one place where I feel at peace — my garden. This is the start of where my creations are cultivated. From there, guidance from my ancestors and my connection to them have helped bring to you the products I have.

Thank you for reading my story. 🙌

There is a certain
kind of light
that only comes
from having
been through
a certain kind
of darkness.
