Study herbs in Michigan with me! In addition to diving deep into energetic herbalism, we'll be spending a LOT of time out with the plants themselves. I would be honored to be a part of how you learn about herbs. It'll be empowering, it'll be fun.

All the details...

Okay, I get “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade” but what do I do when life keeps giving me bucketfuls of hot peppers?

The rash on my hands and forearms shows I was not being mindful when weeding the garden, which happens to be the theme of this story: How Poison Ivy came into the world, by @herbcraft.bsky.social

A lovely story. Give it a read :)

👋 #herbal skincare and #naturalskincare makers, Thought you might get a laugh from my fabulous disaster with this Kokum butter + Ucuuba butter + Babassu oil lotion bar. Yeah, it’s supposed to be a flat square. Apparently the fatty acids were feeling a bit rowdy 😂

The “slow-gentle-steep-at-room-temp” over the “quick-using-heat” method seemed to make sense for my calendula + bladderwrack-infused babassu oil.

Could not have predicted that only days later, I’d be busting out the crockpot because I just can’t wait 😂

Is it wrong to wish misfortune on the seed company that sold me a packet of 10 Scotch Bonnet seeds for $5 that have turned out to be Habaneros?
