🌸 Celebrating Mothers & Simple Ways to Self-Nurture at Home with Nature
"Let all the joys be as the month of May."
- Francis Quarles
An Appreciative Heart ~
Whether we're a Mother to a child, a Mother to a loved one, to a pet, a garden, or even if it's Mother Nature... Mother needs to be deeply appreciated.
Even in the simplest ways, the smallest ways, showing that we care for that Mother, whomever she may be to each of us, or that Mother that lies within us in whatever form it takes... it is important. It's time to celebrate Mom.
There is one underlying element that lies within all various kinds of Mothering...
it's love ~ 💗
May's Magic
Mother Nature is very busy! The spell has been cast and the magic of May is in full bloom. The promise of springtime has been met, and it's a beautiful season to growth with!
With each day during this shift that we're in, many have turned the attention homeward and inward. We're not only getting more resourceful ~ in the kitchen, with homeschooling, in the garden, during the workout routine ~ but we may also be getting more simplistic and realize what is important to us. We're shedding what we no longer need, and we're lightening up! 💫
Overall, we may be busy, but the pace may have slowed down. We may have set aside the fanciness to favor comfort, we may be reading more, and we may be getting more creative at being busy. Overall, we're continuing to weave a bit more simplicity and lightness into our daily routines. And that's ok! 👌
What we see happening and developing even more during these times is the importance of taking the time for self-care.
In any season of change, there is much that we can't control. But... there is one thing that we can have complete control of ~ and that is the simple task of self-care.

And... Those Benefits of Self-Care
- Mental and physical illness is decreased.
- Productivity is increased.
- Happy feelings are ignited
- Stress amounts are reduced
- Relationships and work tasks are enjoyed with more clarity
Like a beautifully blended song or family dinner, together these benefits allow the circle of positivity to keep building upon itself.

Thrilled and Honored ~ We Received Two Earth Day Beauty Awards in April
In April we celebrated seven years since our launch~ so thank YOU! It's was fun to be able to share the celebrations and specials together.
This year marked the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Every year on April 22nd, it's a day that 193 countries around the world celebrate support for the environment and the care of it. Fun Fact: Senator Gaylord Nelson founded it, and is a Wisconsin native, too!
We also learned that two of our favorite treatments were awarded as being best in their category. Not only being effective, but also being environmentally safe with clean ingredients and with an overall nod to being organic and healthy.
The awards are given by Healing Lifestyles and it was their 11th anniversary of them diving into loads of products in various categories from all over the globe. A panel of judges and industry experts select those that are celebrity performers to receive the recognition of an Earth Day Beauty Award.
Our two winners are the Re-Fresh for Clean Hands, and our Natural Sea Spray for Hair. Take a peek at the links to read all about them.
Small... but Mighty
Clean ingredients, safe standards, sustainability, eco-friendly, effective, and the joy and love in using them ~ these are just some of the criteria that are met with our treatments.
We're a woman-owned, independent brand run by family and friends. It really doesn't get more grass-roots than this! 🌱
Every single small ingredient is curated and scrutinized for effectiveness and authenticity. Our products are handmade by us to not only serve a purpose, but in doing do, cause no harm to us, our hormones, or our environment.
Here is a snap of the awards we've won over the years.
Care Behind the Mask
We've received a good number of heart-felt queries about the new skin sensitivities that are arising behind the mask. They've come from those on the front lines working as health care professionals, to people that are taking precautions and wearing masks when out in public. Men and women alike, the skin suffers and shows stress in various ways.
Here is a link to our Q&A video on an answer to how we can care for skin upset that has suddenly popped-ed up behind the mask.
Savor the Simplicity
With fresh eyes, and a fresh start, no matter what is happening or not happening out there, it's time to take a deep breath and refresh the nervous system.
Give yourself permission and the power to lead the day with energy and an open heart.
Let's continue to enjoy and savor those large and small everyday situations. As we appreciate looking at all that is new in May, we might be surprised at how special the everyday ordinary things have become in and around the home.
