It is amazing to look on all of these beautiful jars filled with whole plant medicine. It was all so daunting when I started studying herbs. It felt like a ceaseless memorization of names and remedies. Wondering how i could ever begin to scratch the surface. So many plants!! So many ways to heal! So much variation in need for healing!! I kept learning anyway. Eventually a relationship developed with a few. Then suddenly i understood the nuance of root vs leaf vs seed.. oh and then fruit and flower!! The romance of nature. It was not until I hired my apprentice that i realized none of my jars were labeled. The smell and slight variance in color was enough for me to identify. Studying herbalism is so much more than memorizing lists and chemical make up. It is an art formed around a relationship with nature itself.

Going all natural, does need to be smelly. Yes matted hair and patchouli is a great look, been there. Now in my thirties I want to feel pretty. I want to embrace my Goddess without resorting to the chemical mystery toxin of “fragrance”. Sid you know that “fragrance” on a label covers over 250 chemicals? Most of which are known endocrine disruptors, neurotoxins, carcinogens, and lung irritants? Zero of which are required to go through any testing. Why would i rub that into my glands on my neck?!!! Our perfumes are 100% essential oils, seed oils, and flower derived. This one is brilliantly sweet and light. Hibiscus and rose petals float with quartz crystal. In a base of sunflower. Scent of vanilla, rose, and lime drift up off my skin as the sun warms me. shine your Goddess with Pitta Oil Perfume. $22 in the shop. Limited batch.

Only a few items left! Natural summer skin care products can be hit or miss. Often times the “maker” is just learning and ingredients can react poorly with the skin, separate, or leave you on the beach attracting every green head in sight. Not this line made by Ciara. She has been make my sunblock for years. My skin is hella sensitive, and i work on the water on the weekends. Never a sunburn. Never a rash or breakout. This year she outdid herself. The face cream has a slight tint to it so that you dont need to walk around with the zinc “ghost face”. She also made blush and highlighter zinc sticks. My sun block is my make up. It smells good to boot. If you havn’t been using her zinc based products yet, and managed to get some sunburn, she made an after sun spray. Keep in the refrigerator and take the bite out immediately. Nourishes and rehydrates the skin. This provides a quick healing process to help relieve pain and reduce melanoma risk.
This is small batch!! And there are only a few products left in the shop!! Message me to get your hands on these before they disappear.

Another day and another level of hydration. (Yes its a plastic jug, and yes i am filling the same one over and over again.) eating this sweet and juicy peach because come on, its delicious. Who needs anymore reason than jersey peaches are epic in summer. But also, as summer rises so too does my pitta. Which means lots of sass. Nothing short of meditation and a spiritual practice will cure my inner jersey Varucka salt brat. The sweet summer fruits however, will help keep me from being totally ridiculous. What is your favorite summer time fruit?

Something about chopped up vegetables that i find so breathtaking. I truly enjoy the process of preparing my ingredients. I like to do all of it first. Before i heat up the pan. Otherwise things get so chaotic and stressful. “Quick chop it up before the garlic burns!!!” No thank you. I take my time. I clean up as i go, and guess what. I still only take 30 minutes to make dinner. Without stress, and a clean kitchen. The method is just as important at the what.

In Ayurveda, Routine is everything. It is trendy now to say self care. Words like routine and discipline used to have nasty connotations in my mind. I think because I was always trying to force myself to do things that I thought I “should” be doing. Never on my list of “shoulds” was there anything that really helped me to feel nourished, loved, and divine. Ayurveda has given me that. I fought and struggled retrain myself to wake up early. Now I look forward to my mornings. My favorite things... a vintage silk bathrobe that makes me feel glamorous and beautiful. Inspirational readings set the tone for where my mind is at for the day. And my one cup of coffee that I can have for the day. I sit in a wonderful chair and sip.
This is way better than snoozing my alarm for 15 minutes.
What divine self care practices have you found that feel more like play or leisure?
