This might sound weird… but if your armpits have been extra stinky lately (hi, summer sweat or switching to natural deodorant), try using a sugar scrub on them in the shower.

A gentle scrub 1–2 times a week helps remove dead skin and product buildup that can trap odor-causing bacteria. When your pores are clear, your skin can “breathe” better—and your deodorant can actually do its job.

Think of it like giving your pits a reset. No need to scrub like crazy, just a light exfoliation and rinse.

Your underarms will be smoother, cleaner, and way less funky!

Herbs make me a better mom.

Not in a big dramatic way but in just the small, steady ways that matter.

Every morning, I fill up my water bottle and add a dropper of lemon balm, ashwagandha, and nettle tincture.

That’s it. Nothing fancy. Just part of my rhythm now.

- Lemon balm helps calm the mental chatter.
- Ashwagandha takes the edge off stress.
- Nettle gives me the minerals and energy I never seem to get enough of.

I don’t notice the shift immediately, but by the end of the day I do.
I’m more patient. Less frazzled. Quicker to laugh, slower to snap.
Still tired (because let’s be real, six kids!) but supported.

Herbs aren’t a cure all. But for me, they’ve become a daily act of care that keeps me feeling more like myself. And when I take care of myself, I show up better for my family.💜

🌿 Let’s talk about catnip.

Most people think it’s just for cats, but catnip is actually one of my favorite herbs for humans, too.

It’s super gentle and soothing, especially for the nervous system and digestion. I reach for it when:

– My kids have tummy aches
– Bedtime is a struggle
– Someone’s feeling tense, overwhelmed, or just off

Catnip can help ease digestive upset, calm cranky energy, and support sleep, all without making anyone groggy or out of it. It’s part of the mint family and has this soft, earthy scent that just feels comforting.

We keep it stocked in tincture form because it works fast and is easy to use, just a dropper in a little water or juice, and done. It’s one of those herbs that quietly does a lot. We also have dried catnip if a tea is more to your liking.

So next time you hear “catnip,” don’t just think of zooming cats. Think of calm bellies, settled nerves, and better sleep for kids and grown-ups.

If you’re using body butter or oil after your shower, here’s a little trick:
Apply it while your skin is still damp like, right after you turn off the water. Like right after turning off the water. Before you towel off.

Why? Because damp skin helps the product absorb better. It locks in all that moisture, keeps your skin soft way longer, and you’ll actually use less product.

So next time, skip the towel for a sec and go straight for the butter or oil.

Your skin will seriously thank you. 💜

We know you all LOVE to support small businesses, so we are excited to share that the Kid's Business Fair is back this year! Our 3 oldest look forward to this fair EVERY year and plan for months with what they want to sell. It's the highlight of their summer. If you're free make plans to stop down to Startup Sioux Falls this Thursday from 4-6:30pm to support all these young entrepreneurs.

In our world of SPF, shade, and skin protection (all important!), it’s easy to forget that sunlight is also medicine, when enjoyed in mindful, moderate amounts.

🌞 Vitamin D Production
Just 10–20 minutes of sun exposure a few times a week (on bare skin) helps your body naturally produce vitamin D, which supports immune health, bone strength, mood balance, and hormone function.

🌱 Mood + Mental Health
Sunlight helps regulate serotonin, our "feel-good" brain chemical. Getting outside, even for a short walk, can improve mood, focus, and reduce stress or seasonal blues.

🌙 Supports Your Natural Sleep Cycle
Morning sun exposure helps regulate your circadian rhythm, which plays a major role in energy during the day and restful sleep at night.

🧘 Grounding & Connection to Nature
Spending time in the sun, barefoot in the garden, tending herbs, or just pausing to breathe, connects us back to the rhythms of the earth. It’s a beautiful way to recenter, recharge, and reconnect.

A little goes a long way. Aim for safe, non-peak sun exposure (early morning or late afternoon), and always listen to your skin. We love pairing sun time with our zinc-based sunscreen when needed, so you get the benefits without the burn. Unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb into the skin and can cause irritation, zinc oxide sits on the surface, acting as a physical barrier to reflect UVA and UVB rays. It’s gentle, effective, and ideal for the whole family. So enjoy the sun, don't fear it! It's healing medicine. 💜

Juniper Apothecary was born from the products our family had been making for years. When we had our firstborn daughter over 6 years ago, we became more aware of the ingredients in the products we were using. This led us to create natural, wholesome products with safe ingredients for our family. Years later and many testimonials from friends and family, Juniper Apothecary emerged.

All our products are hand-made in-store by our family for your family. We put extra focus on using safe, natural herbs and oils and use environmentally safe packaging wherever possible. We're here to support you on your natural health and wellness journey.

We are a palm oil-free, sulfate-free, paraben-free, and phthalate-free company. We leave in only the good stuff.
