"Unearthing Our Origin, Inspired by Tradition"

Hi everyone!

I hope you got to get outside to enjoy the gorgeous sunshine today. With even warmer days on the way, I reached out to Vanessa from Soul & Soil Shoppe (a local, handcrafted, small batch organic herbal-infused tallow company) for a restock because I used their sunblock balm last summer and its the only one I'll ever buy. Its truly the best, I don't get paid anything for saying this. I just don't want you all wasting your money on the nasty chemically kind of the pasty kind that doesn't actually rub in.

Another of my favorite products they make is the Magnesium butter, amazing for sore muscles. (helps me with pregnancy induced calve cramps) I love everything I've tried. The "Foremother's first aid salve" is all I used for my baby's diaper rashes and helps relieve my eczema flair ups. And I have so many of their lip balms because I want one always within reach.

These traditional remedies including sunblock, salves, face cream, body butters, and lip balm, can be found on our shelves at Mosaic and purchased via cash app (100% of your purchase goes to this small family owned business). If you only have Venmo you can Venmo Mosaic and then I will transfer it to Soul and Soil Shoppe.

Here's a message from Vanessa Augustine, the heart behind Soul and Soil Shoppe:

"Soul and Soil Shoppe started 17 different herb seed varieties and love watching our wee sprouts turn into your medicine! We are so happy to be back in the dirt after the winter months; the earth is our medium. Soul and Soil Shoppe is an herbal company that intends to connect others to the natural world. We make herb infused tallow body care products and herbal tea blends from homegrown or organically sourced herbs.

In light of the sunshine, we now have our sun balm back in stock. We are also offering a spring sale on our Radiant Being Body Butter which is a product that carries the energetics of the sun. It is infused with dandelion flowers, burdock root, calendula, and turmeric root crafted for inflamed skin or lymphatic drainage while giving you that sunny glow."

If you'd like to learn more about why beef tallow is so beneficial or the story of how they got started, you can find that info on the following link, as well as purchase from their shop to have it shipped to you.

Hope to see you sometime soon!

Spring Renewal: The Hidden Benefits of Dandelions

Hi there,

Dandelions are popping up everywhere right now—and while they get a bad reputation as weeds, they’re actually one of nature’s most beneficial spring plants.

This time of year, our bodies naturally crave a reset, and dandelions can gently support that.

Why they’re so good for you:

Dandelion greens are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, along with minerals like iron and potassium. Their natural bitterness supports digestion and can help reduce that sluggish, heavy feeling.

Dandelion root (often used in tea) is known for supporting liver and kidney health and reducing bloating thanks to its natural gentle diuretic properties. It may also help support balanced blood sugar and steady energy.

Dandelions are also high in antioxidants, which help protect the body from cellular damage.
There's promising research showing anti-cancer properties from Dandelion extract used in mice with tumors.

publichealthpolicyjournal.com/dandelion-root-extract-kills-95-of-cancer-cells-in-vitro-and-reduces-human-colon-tumor-growth-by-over-90-in-mice-with-zero-toxicity (https://publichealthpolicyjournal.com/dandelion-root-extract-kills-95-of-cancer-cells-in-vitro-and-reduces-human-colon-tumor-growth-by-over-90-in-mice-with-zero-toxicity/)

I typically buy this tea:

amazon.com/Traditional-Medicinals-Organic-Dandelion-Leaf/dp/B014UHFCM4?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1 (https://www.amazon.com/Traditional-Medicinals-Organic-Dandelion-Leaf/dp/B014UHFCM4?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1)

But you can make your own with the bountiful amounts of dandelions outside this season.

How to safely clean dandelions:

Before using any dandelions, make sure they haven’t been sprayed and aren’t growing near busy roads.

To clean:
- Rinse well under cool water
- Soak in a bowl of water with 1–2 teaspoons of baking soda for 5–10 minutes
- Rinse again and pat dry

How to make dandelion tea:

Leaf tea:
- Use 1–2 teaspoons of fresh, chopped leaves
- Steep in hot water for 10–15 minutes
- Strain and enjoy (add lemon or honey if you’d like)

Roasted root tea:
- Wash and chop roots
- Roast at 200–250°F for 1–2 hours until dry
- Simmer 1 teaspoon in water for 10–15 minutes, then strain

*It has a bitter, earthy flavor—similar to coffee, but caffeine-free.

As always, listen to your body and check with your provider if you’re pregnant, nursing, or on medications.

Spring is such a beautiful time to clear out the old and welcome the new- in our homes as well as our bodies. Sometimes the most supportive things are growing right outside our door.

Wishing you a fresh, energized spring,

Spring Refresh at Mosaic + Exciting New Offerings Coming Soon

Hi everyone,

With spring finally here—a season of fresh starts, renewal, and new energy. I think most of us feel inspired this time of year to clear out the old and make space for what’s next… and this year, that feeling is in full swing as I prepare to welcome a new baby in July 💛

Here at Mosaic, I’ve been in full on spring cleaning and nesting mode—refreshing our space to make it even more welcoming and relaxing for you and calm and organized for our staff. We’ve updated the waiting area with new rocking chairs and a stylish coffee table (easy to clean just like I need with my little ones coming with me for daily laundry drop offs and cleaning/restocking) , added a new rug to the couples room (each room is getting a new rug soon) and my husband put up our outside sign back up (it was taken down during construction..a couple years ago eek!). I’ve also been organizing the office, closets, storage rooms and working on finishing up all the little details projects that I've needed to circle back to.

We’re also happy to share that we have hydraulic massage tables coming in soon! (so the height can adjust easily throughput the session) These will allow us to better customize each session to your body while also supporting our therapists’ comfort and longevity—something that ultimately helps us continue providing high-quality care for years to come.

Along with these updates, I wanted to take a moment to remind you of all the offerings we currently have available at Mosaic:

* Therapeutic customized massage (30 min, 60 min, 90 min, 120 min)
* Organic Facials (and mini Body Deli facial kits and luxurious serums for sale )
* Couples Massage
* Hot Stone Massage
* CBD Salve Add-On
* Cupping Therapy
* Traditional Finnish Sauna
* Meditation Massage (with Elana)
* Lymphatic Massage
* Pregnancy Massage
* "Tapas Massage" which includes hot stones, body mask/scrub, and dry brushing/glove full body exfoliation)
* Dry Brushing (includes a take-home brush for continued care at home)
* LED Light Therapy (Celluma pro plus panels)

We truly have something for everyone, whether you’re looking to relax, recover, or support your overall wellness!

I’m also really excited to share that we are continuing to grow and expand our skills! I’m registered for upcoming courses in TMJ massage, geriatric massage, and techniques specifically for relieving tension headaches. Other therapists on our team are also diving into continuing education such as prenatal massage certifications so we can bring even more supportive, specialized care to you in the near future.

Thank you so much for being part of the Mosaic community—it means more than you know. I’m so grateful to do this work and to continue growing alongside all of you.

If you’ve been thinking about booking, this is such a beautiful time of year to reset and take care of yourself.

With gratitude,

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lemon-Blueberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats:
(terianncarty.com)

Ingredients
½ banana mashed
½ scoop protein powder (optional)
2 tbsp chia seeds
½ cup oats
½ juice and zest of lemon
½ tsp vanilla
¼ cup cottage cheese
¾ cup milk of choice
pinch of salt
½ cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup blueberries

Instructions
Place mashed banana in ramekin with protein, oats, chia seeds, lemon juice, cottage cheese, salt and milk. Mix well and place in the fridge for a minimum of two hours to set.
Top with yogurt and lemon zest and enjoy.

*I actually times it by at least 4 or 5, mix together in a big bowl and then spoonful it into glass jars to prep quick breakfasts for the week!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

No Sugar Cottage Cheese Carrot Cake Bars:
(blesseddish.com)

Ingredients:
2 cups carrots (freshly grated)
1 cup cottage cheese
2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned)
2 large eggs
1 tsp cinnamon (ground)
0.5 tsp nutmeg (ground)
1 tsp baking powder
0.5 cup walnuts (roughly chopped)
1 pinch sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven: to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

Grate the Carrots: Use a grater or food processor to freshly grate 2 cups of carrots. Squeeze out excess moisture with a clean towel for the best texture. (you can use pre-shredded carrots but add a tbsp of milk or apple sauce)

Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese and eggs. Stir until smooth. For ultra-smooth bars, blend the cottage cheese first.

Add the Dry Ingredients: Add rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly combined without over-mixing.

Fold in Carrots and Walnuts:Gently fold in the grated carrots and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Pan and Press: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Press down slightly with a spatula so the bars hold together after baking.

Bake: Bake for 25–35 minutes

Cool and Slice

Enjoy and see you all soon!!

Spring is finally here!

With the arrival of spring, there’s a sense of fresh energy all around us—longer days, warmer sunshine, and the perfect opportunity to start something new. It’s the best time to reset, both inside and out.

Makes so much sense why historically (before 1582 when Pope Gregory XIII required everyone to follow his Gregorian calendar) Spring Equinox marked the start of a new year rather than January, in the dead of winter.
I just found out that "April Fools" was a term referring to the protesters who continued to celebrate the new year in the spring rather than in January. I think I would've been right there with them.

One simple and rewarding way to embrace the season is by starting seeds indoors. Whether you have a full garden, a small porch, or just a sunny windowsill, growing plants can be really grounding and fulfilling experience.

Last year was my first time planting from seeds successfully(or mostly successfully). It was honestly one of the most rewarding things to see that process of growth and being able to harvest our own produce, herbs and flowers. I can't wait to do it again and bring in fresh cut flowers wildflowers to Mosaic.

If you've never done it before I recommend Peckhams for their wide variety of knowledge, seeds, veggie plants, herbs and soil. peckhamsgreenhouse.com/whatweoffer (https://www.peckhamsgreenhouse.com/whatweoffer)

This is a good resource to get you started
almanac.com/content/starting-seeds-indoors (https://www.almanac.com/content/starting-seeds-indoors)

I hope you all have a great week and lean into the season of new beginnings and fresh starts!

Happy St Paddy's Day!

I'm going to keep this short and sweet because I'm running late for an activity with my daughters. I hope some of you were able to get over to the "World's Shortest St Paddy's Day Parade" which raises money for local food banks. It was so fun, wholesome and was a reminder to me of how much I love this community. I hope you have some fun this week and that we'll be seeing you soon!

warmly,
Meagan
