I whipped the tallow that was rendered yesterday. A nice little harvest of 6- 8 ounce jars were able to be filled up!
These whipped tallow jars have nothing but whipped tallow as the ingredient. Tallow is something I find super beneficial by itself. I don't render with water as I don't want the possibility of mold to play into factor. This tallow does have a slight beef-y aroma (it is made from cow fat, sooo haha), but the aroma dissipates as it soaks into the skin. You may mix in a safe amount of essential oils if you'd like.
The source of the suet that is rendered comes from Bradley & Son Grass Fed Beef. They take super good care of their cows! I'm picky with all ingredients, and I'm glad I met these folks at the Truckee Farmer's Market a few summers ago.
I sold three jars, so I have three left up for grabs. $20 each or let's barter (looking for homemade pantry foods/goods). 🐮
Tallow soaps are up next! 🧼

Perfect day to open up the kitchen windows, clean kitchen cupboards, and render some grass fed/finished beef tallow. 🏡🐮☀️
Of course I have my kitchen supervisor nearby. 😅🐾
I will have some whipped tallow available for purchase tomorrow, I'll make a post with details when they are 100% ready. I'll also be rendering more so I can make a few batches of tallow soap that will be ready by spring time.

This is some days late, but I hope everyone has had an amazing start to this new year!
Crazy how fast 2025 has gone by. I hope lessons were learnt from 2025 and new beneficial approaches and beginnings are in fruition for 2026. 💖
I'm not one to be big with resolutions as I don't want to feel disappointed if one thing isn't accomplished, but I am wanting to put more energy and time into my herbal medicine work. I'd like to mainly use local, foraged plants this year with my medicinals and vend at more shows as I really do prefer in-person interactions these days rather than online communications.
I'll be working on soaps from scratch in the upcoming weeks so they will be done by Spring time, and I'm *so* looking forward to Spring time as I hope to have a bountiful foraging season.
Many blessings to y'all for this new season. 🌿

Shouting a huge THANK YOU for those who have supported my little business endeavor the past few weeks! What an absolute blessing your support has been and I hope my creations are a blessing to you and your family. 💫🌿
Have a great weekend, y'all! ☺️

I thought I'd post what I have leftover from my recent batch if anyone is interested! Both batches were made from this past weekend. ☺️
You may pick up from my home located near the Sparks Post Office, or we can make arrangements to meet up at a halfway location between our homes. 🏡
🔥Fire Cider; *SOLD OUT*
Ingredients: apple cider vinegar with the "mother", organic habanero peppers, organic jalapeño peppers, organic shish*to peppers, organic horseradish root, organic garlic, organic onions, organic lemons, organic ginger, and local/raw honey.

If anyone is new to my work, I've been making herbal medicinals the past nine years. I know I've been on a hiatus from my business page, but I am slowly getting back into my work. 💖

I found a new supplier for my raw c🐝d isolate to make tinctures and topicals with and I'm so stoked to share this with y'all!
I thought my last supplier's isolate was good, but this new stuff is top notch! It's organically grown in Colorado from a guy who has a *passion* for natural pain relief.
The most extreme conventional medicine I take is ibuprofen. I can say I've been able to cut off the ibuprofen drastically since using this tincture for my headaches/neckaches and cramps. I do still need help with ibuprofen for the once a month migraine.
I made tinctures and rollers today for the upcoming vending event, I'll be making some salves tomorrow as those have also been a staple seller.
With the lower price I'm able to pay for the isolate from my new supplier, these tinctures can also be cheaper. They are $45 each. 💖
I have lab results from the new supplier, as well, I can share for those nerdy people like me that like to look over every single detail. 🤓

$20 each or you can have both for $35.
Pickup preferred at my home. 🏠

Whipped Beef Tallow! 🐮
Beef tallow is amazing for our health, in this case, our skin. Tallow contains vitamins A, D, E, and K which can be absorbed through our skin to help stimulate collagen production and cell renewal. It contains omega-3 fatty acids that help retain moisture in the skin. Tallow is also high in antioxidants and is also an anti-inflammatory.
This tallow is sourced from a nearby ranch that takes great care of their grassfed cows, good enough that I also buy their meat to nourish my family's bodies. 🐄
I like to use this tallow on all over my skin! It is very moisturizing! Helps nourish dry skin (feet, lips, arms, legs, anywhere!). I was using it on my face on a daily basis, but the skin on my face is super sensitive and *very* prone to breakouts, so I scaled back to using it a few times a week on my face.
The only ingredient is grassfed beef tallow (rendered from suet sourced from Bradley & Son Grassfed Beef by yours truly) that was whipped.
As it's only made with tallow, and me not doing anything extra or fancy to this, it does have a beef aroma similar to bacon. I mean, this is made by rendering beef fat, soooo. 😅 This soaks in rather quickly into the skin, and once it's soaked in, the aroma diminishes, so please don't worry about walking around smelling like bacon. 🥓
I have two sizes available; four ounce jars for $15 and I only have two- eight ounce jars left that are $25 each.
*Shipping will be available very soon; waiting for the weather to cool off so there's no chance of melting during transit.

Treat yourself with a Linen & Rice Heating Pad! 💆♀️
I used top quality linen fabric to sew the pad and added organic rice inside.
You can simply heat up the pad in the microwave 60 seconds and if you want more heat, add in 30 second intervals in microwave (just keep an eye as you don't want to burn the rice by heating too long in the microwave). And carefully place the heating pad on body where pain relief is needed. These hold heat quite well, time wise, too!
This can also be used as a cooling pad by placing in the freezer.
And as an eye pillow!
These are much more *durable* than the heating pads I made with cotton flannel. ☺️
I like to use this heating pad on my neck after a few sprays of magnesium oil on my neck. Nice, simple relaxation!
These Linen & Rice Heating Pads are $13 (plus an added fee of $5 for shipping, if applicable).

I've been wanting to implement this for a while now, but with this crazy economy, I thought I'd share I'm so down to barter and trade goods. Just let me know what you have if you're interested in any of my goods.
I'm game to make you and your family bulk of any my handcrafted goods, as well, if we come to an agreement!
I'd also be willing to exchange teachings and lessons; for example, I can teach you how to make specific medicines for your family and you can teach me how to can food or any sort of homesteading/life skill.
I'd love to see a thriving community of people that do this sort of thing at some point.
I'm going to "pin" this post and if you have any goods or services you would want to share, feel free to! Or always feel free to message me.

After making soaps from scratch, I refer to melt and pour soaps as "cheater soaps". 🤣 I still enjoy to make soaps with melt and pour soap bases every now and then.
I did find a good source for a goat milk melt and pour soap base. If you don't know, melt and pour soaps are literally what their name is; and big, premade soap base that you gently heat up to melt, and you pour it into your soap mold.
The only issue I have with these is they contain more ingredients than I'd like, but they are still way more healthier than the soaps you can find at a conventional store made by big corporations and questionable ingredients.
I have intentions of making soaps from scratch with local goat milk, but am having a hard time with sourcing goat milk locally, if anyone has any intel, message me!
These bars come in various sizes. Some bars are plain goat milk soap bars, and other have goat milk with added organic oats mixed in.
The bigger, plain goat milk bars are $6 and all of the goat milk and oats soaps are $4. Shipping will be an added $4. 🐐

Magnesium Oil Sprays!
Magnesium is an electrolyte that is used in almost all the cells in our bodies...and almost *all* of us tend to be deficient in magnesium due to our diets.
Magnesium oil in a spray bottle is a great, simple way to remedy this deficiency.
Magnesium oil helps with muscle relaxation, helps improve sleep, helps reduce anxiety, helps boost energy, helps improve bone health, helps improve blood pressure, helps hormonal balance, helps with inflammation.
My husband uses this three times or more, everyday. I make a nice stockpile to keep up with his usage. 😅 He uses this as a deodorant, which I have yet to try out on myself. I like to use this spray before bedtime, I'll also spray on my neck for neck aches or headaches and lower back for backaches and general usage. I typically do 5-8 sprays per use.
You may or may not experience a stinging and tingling sensation upon using this as that's a sign of deficiency, but as you become sufficient, that sensation will go away. I don't recommend spraying magnesium oil on kids anywhere but their feet.
These four ounce magnesium oil sprays are $12 each and I can ship for an added fee of $5.

After having a mind-opening experience in nature, I made it a mission to live a more natural, eco-friendly, and sustainable lifestyle. Eight years later, I still find myself to be in this process! I know how chaotic the transition can be to live a more natural lifestyle, I am happy to help the beginner or to gain knowledge from the natural living veteran.
My hobby of creating holistic skin care, health and wellness products straight from nature to provide support to others has turned into my absolute passion and, now, career. I have spent hundreds and hundreds of hours researching and studying; human anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, pathology, aromatherapy, herbal medicine, flower essences, iridology, and homeopathy.
The connection with humans and nature has seemed to dissipate over the years and I would love to see the connection become strong again at this day and age!
I am more than happy to work with you if you have any sort of ailments or problems you may be experiencing. I view the body as a whole (body, mind, and soul) and heal in that manner using the medicine from Mother Earth.
I pour so much love, positive and healing intentions into all of my orders, from the time I receive the order, to creating the products, to shipping them off to their new homes. Personalized products are freshly made, while my “best-sellers” are handcrafted in very small batches to ensure freshness.
Accrediting Higher Education Accomplishments: I have completed my Aromatherapy Certification through The American College of Healthcare Sciences, so I am now a Certified Aromatherapist that is recognized by the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy.
I have been continuing my education at The American College of Healthcare Sciences towards obtaining the: Diploma in Holistic Health Practice, Certificate in Iridology Consulting, and Certificate in Homeopathy Consulting.
Metaphysically and Spiritually speaking; I am a Certified Crystal Healer that is recognized as a Silver Member of the International Alliance of Holistic Therapists. I am a Chromotherapist (Color Light Therapist). I am Level 1 Reiki Certified. And I also like to do Oracle and Tarot Card Readings. With all of my energy-based modalities, I approach them with nothing but positive and healing intent!
My goal is to open a holistic wellness center in the next few years or to get an office space with already established folks who share similar viewpoints. I appreciate all the support I have been getting from my family, friends, clients, and customers! Y’all are the absolute best!
If anyone on a professional level would like to connect with me, network, or even work with me, please don’t hesitate to contact me. We can get together and accomplish great things!
UPDATES: I have a retail space with my handcrafted products that are available for purchase at the local, small business “Earthe Energe” (1023 Rock Boulevard, Sparks, NV).
I always welcome custom orders via messenger, email, call, or text. I accept orders throughout the United States, but do ask for orders that need to be shipped to cover shipping costs.
