Looking for an easy DIY shaving cream recipe that

Looking for an easy DIY shaving cream recipe that works well and is good for your skin? If so, I've got one for you to try that I think you'll like. ⁣
⁣
3 Ingredient DIY Shaving Cream⁣
⁣
Ingredients:⁣
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil⁣
3/4 cup organic aloe gel⁣
Essential oils of choice to scent⁣
⁣
Directions:⁣
Combine all ingredients in your magic bullet (any ole blender or immersion blender will work too). Blend on high for 3-5 minutes. The mixture will turn yellow and creamy. Pour in a glass jar, label, and store in the fridge. Use as needed. ⁣
⁣
To Use:⁣
Wait about 10-15 minutes after getting into the shower to shave. Next, pour a small amount out in your hands, slather it on, and then shave away. The razor glides smoothly and those irritating red bumps don’t show up afterward!⁣
⁣
If you end up trying this recipe, and you don't love it, you can do what I do most of the time and simply shave with your conditioner. It works really well too!

In every industry, there are trends. Yes, even in

In every industry, there are trends. Yes, even in herbalism, there are herbal trends from time to time.⁣
⁣
A trend, however, isn't limited to something that's current popular. A trend can also be defined as a direction in which an industry is moving.⁣
⁣
It’s here, in this second definition, that I have recently noticed 3 current herbal trends.⁣
⁣
🌿The rise of artisanal apothecaries⁣
🌿A shift toward plant minimalism⁣
🌿The creation of ritualistic herbal practices⁣
⁣
I'm going into more detail about each of these herbal trends -- what they are and what it means for herbalism -- in my newest blog post (link in bio).⁣
⁣
While many trends come and go, I’m hoping that these particular herbal trends stick around because I think they’re good for us in this digital age. 📲⁣
⁣
I say that because it’s just so easy for us herbal entrepreneurs to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of running a business or even fall into the comparison trap that is common in our online world. ⁣
⁣
I think slow herbal trends like those mentioned above help us to stay a bit more grounded and centered in our herbal practices. Wouldn’t you agree?⁣
⁣
So tell me 💬⁣
👇⁣
Have you also noticed these herbal trends? If so, what are your thoughts on them? Lastly, are you engaging in any of these trends yourself?

If you’re anything like me, by mid-February, you

If you’re anything like me, by mid-February, you’re feeling what I refer to as the “February blahs” 😔 — that point in the month when you’re completely over the snow and gray skies, and instead, you’re itching for sun and flowers. 🌻⁣
⁣
If this is you, calendula can be a very useful herb for you during this time. 🌿 Seriously, it's like adding some "herbal sunshine"☀into your day.⁣
⁣
Join me over on the blog where I'm sharing more about using calendula in the late-winter, early-spring months and get some helpful recipes there as well! ⁣

My sister-in-law gifted me this amaryllis bulb for Christmas, 🎄and it’s finally bloomed! ⁣
⁣
You typically force amaryllis bulbs so they bloom for Christmas, but since I got mine for Christmas, I forced it in hopes that it would bloom for Valentine’s Day. ❤ We’re just a bit behind, but not by much. ⁣
⁣
Anyway, I’m loving all of these winter blooms 🌹 that make my house a bit more cheery during these cold snowy days. ❄

If you’re looking for a way to wind down for the

If you’re looking for a way to wind down for the evening or to do something good for your skin, let me share my new favorite floral oat bath recipe with you. This recipe uses the skin-soothing power of oats along with the astringent and relaxing actions of floral plants to not only nourish your skin, but nourish your mind as well.⁣
⁣
DIY Floral Oat Bath⁣
⁣
Ingredients:⁣
1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats⁣
2 tablespoons calendula petals⁣
2 tablespoons chamomile flowers⁣
2 tablespoons lavender flowers⁣
2 tablespoons rose petals⁣
⁣
Directions:⁣
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Transfer to a labeled glass storage jar and seal tightly. When ready to use, place 1/4 cup of mix into a muslin drawstring bag. Tie the bag tightly and toss it into the bath as it fills with water. The floral oat bath will infused as the bath fills and as you soak.

What's your favorite season of the year, and why?⁣
⁣
PS. This is a photo of goldenrod during winter. Isn’t she just as lovely even in her old age?⁣
⁣
PPS. If you don’t already have one, you can start your own little goldenrod patch quite easily. Just grab one or two handfuls of the seeds from one of these old flower tops, rough up the top layer of soil where you want your patch to be, and sprinkle the seeds in the soil. It’s that easy! In spring, the seeds will germinate, and by fall, you’ll be so glad to see these bright golden blooms around your home!
