Bath + Body

If you’re curious about herbs but not sure where to start—this is it. Making your own herbal bath and body products is fun, beginner-friendly, and way less intimidating than tinctures or fancy remedies. Plus, it’s a beautiful way to care for yourself and your family while keeping things non-toxic and simple.

In this category, I share:

  • My Violet Morning Face Serum is great for most skin types and is super easy to make.
  • Body oils like my lilac one or the the lemon balm and lavender body oil in place of body lotion.
  • A few mistakes along the way and learned lessons. You should probably read this before making bath bombs for the first time.

You don’t have to know everything about herbs to start using them. Just one small, joyful step at a time.
