New packaging ✨ Just wanted to let y’all know I am slowly transitioning over to “Made in the USA” glass, wherever possible. I love the aesthetic of amber bottles and how they protect the integrity of their contents BUT I love even more that this glass is US-made (another way of reducing my footprint) and how you all get to see how gorgeously greeeeeeeen this serum is! WIN WIN. 🌿👍🏽 . #greenbeauty #sustainability #greenbusiness #skinserum #naturalbeauty #greenskincare #holistic #bigpicture #conscious #consciousliving #herbalproducts #herbalism #allnatural #allnaturalbeauty
S A V O R Y breakfast :: local oats cooked in homemade bone broth with miso, ginger carrots & fresh garden herbs. Not pictured: parsley stems that I munched on like celery before taking the picture! Flexible stems of herbs are edible + nutritious! Don’t toss them (or if you do, save to make your own nutritive stock or broth 👍🏽) Thanks to @realpickles, @rwmarket5 and @applefieldfarm for the food 🙏🏽 . Feeling really grateful for this meal, grateful to be connected with such incredible local providers and growers of food. Also, savory oats are 👌🏻 . #localfood #eatlocal #foodismedicine #savorybreakfast #holistichealth #healthyfood #healthcoach #herbalist #supportfarmers #avenasativa #yum
H E R B A L F I R S T A I D :: got stung twice on the leg yesterday on a hike, either a hornet or a wasp. . PLANTAIN is always my go to for bites and stings, but of course I was in the one section of forest with no plantain in sight! . WILD ROSE was abundant, though, and its cooling, astringent properties were a perfect substitute. To apply, chew leaves or petals to break down cell walls and release medicinal constituents, spit out and apply as a sort of gooey paste 👍🏽 . When I got home, I mixed up this simple clay poultice: bentonite clay, plantain leaf + yarrow flower. Added witch hazel to make a paste, and let it sit on the stings for hours. . I woke up this morning feeling much better! (Swipe to see fresh plantain leaf) . #herbalfirstaid #wildplants #cueillettesauvage #beesting #firstaidkit #naturalfirstaid #herbalmedicine #wildplantmedicine #hiking #newengland #poultice #bentoniteclay #claymask #healingclay
6 inches of rain overnight in my hometown in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Sending my love and prayers to the strong people there, more rains to come. It’s hard to imagine the massive destruction that’s happened just overnight... it’s crazy to see pictures like these of streets and bridges and homes destroyed. (I did not take this photo) Please send your thoughts and prayers to these folks 🙏🏽 #houghtonmichigan #houghtonflood2018 #flooding #chassellmichigan #lakelindenmichigan #hancockmichigan #pilgrimriver #uppermichigan #upperpeninsula
