Don’t be that girl.

Artistry is a dying craft and In a world of cheaply made , low quality , exploitation , and waste - creativity is NEEDED.

When we purchase low quality - it feels cheap, and icky, and energetically we feel that. It feels painful to me.

When we purchase high quality - it feels powerful, like a dress that was made for you, a treat, sustained, lasting.

It’s not about buying the “priciest” thing - but the thing that was made with love and care and intention, you can feel that coming off a piece and it feels fu***ng magic.

If you can’t afford it at the time THATS OKAY. You can save up for it, or maybe you realize it’s not really a priority to you. But what it’s not , is expensive .

Be cool out there - support your local artist , support sustainability, support slowness, support lasting . That’s how you feel better and make this world a better place.

This is why chamomile is my desert island plant . She is miraculous

I woke up with pink eye while visiting friends - literally never had it in my life ! My one eye was swollen, pink and streaky, and my eyelashes were matted together .

Serious ick - which was why I didn’t take a picture because my ego was like “what if we look like this forever” but then I remembered my body can heal - I digress

Pink eye is also called conjunctivitis. The conjuctiva is this clear membrane that lines the eyeball and covers the sclera aka the white of the eye. Anything that ends in itis means inflammation. So an inflammation of the eyeball.

Pink eye can be caused by a virus or bacteria and is a common side effect when kiddos are sick (make sure your kids wash their hands often when sick and aren’t touching their eyes) and can also be caused by irritants in the eye.

Either way , the eye gets inflamed , inflammation calls our immune system to come clear things out (goopiness in the eyeball from white blood cells and excess mucous production ) and typically some redness or pink from the increased blood flow and dilation to that affected area.

SOOOO we need some antimicrobial herbs and something calming and soothing which is why I call on chamomile . It is cooling, soothing , and has antimicrobial properties .

I made a strong tea infusion (about 2 tablespoons in a half cup of water- let it steep for 30 minutes)

And then dipped a clean paper towel in every hour and cleared out my eye. Don’t redip your paper towel and expose your clean chamomile to your germs . 🦠 you can use a fresh cotton balls or a tissue - whatever you’ve got

Within 24 hours , my eye was al cleared up and no itch 💛

Now I wish I had a before picture

here’s the thing - people have their vices and are entitled to them , but are those things making you better or covering up for something ?

y’all know me - I love all plants - God gave them to us- I’m not here to knock any. How could we possibly say something God gave us was bad ?

However how are you using it?

the cannibas INDUSTRY is like the wild wild west - there’s a lot of profit, a lot of “ohhh try these bubble gump shrimp, tootsie fruit, cotton candy sweet and low flavors” and be so out of your mind ? I don’t fu***ng like when plants get abused and used for big profit when it doesn’t serve people’s highest goods 😡

Temporary pleasure doesn’t lead to long term healing.
We gotta address our wounds, our stuff, our trauma, and THEN we become free from it.

(Ohh and for the folks who wanna knock a plant but sipping a 5th of Jim bean and beers to “take the edge off” and have fun with friends like that’s nothing - those are also a substance that alters your brain to “feel better” in different way, but still mind altering nonetheless (honestly likely worse for your hormones and safety)

come correct if you’re going to judge if you’re going to judge plants 🌱

Moving on - want to still partake in a lil wind down ceremony , want something to smoke on, still want a little uplifted feeling but without the paranoia ? want to cut back on cannibas, want to cut back on vapes ? cut back on ni****ne ?

Why ? For your HEALTH !

Try adding something that mimics the same sensation of ceremony, but without the harsh addictive chemicals or weirdness.

All organic - botanical smoke from now at the shop

you wanna smoke - please do you boo, I’m here to judge no one - but keep your stuff clean , organic and use it with healing intention or creativity - not to hide.

There is nothing you need to hide or run from - you are enough exactly how you are

Alright let’s not make this controversial and let’s just all heal the best we can 💛

MONDAY SPOTLIGHT : CLEAVER

Gallium aparine or known in these streets as sticky w**d

Cleavers is a queen in the spring time and one of my most prized that I look forward to foraging. Considered a w**d and often mowed down ……she taste like if you were to sip a dew drop off a plant leaf after a spring rain - light , green, sweet, and fresh 🤤

Cleavers is considered a lymphatic, mean helps support the lymph system. Your lymph system plays a major role in your immunity and keeping your body health; bacteria, viruses , cancer cells, and other pathogens are brought there and trapped so they can’t go back into the bodies circulation - essentially a security checkpoint and a way to “clean out the trash of our body” if you will.

The lymph system doesn’t have a pump , like the heart to move fluids around so this is another reason why it’s important to be active , walk, move , dance, exercise, dry brush, etc. to get your lymph moving and not stagnant. Stagnation = heaviness .

For this reason, cleavers is called upon for heaviness, fatigue, stuckness , puffy eyes, swollen ankles, swollen lymph nodes, detox support, excess fluids.

Personally- I just LOVE the taste and everytime I drink it I feel like I’m drinking spring rain . I pick it fresh and toss it in water overnight for a sun infusion and strain it off . It feels like it cuts through all heaviness and puts a pep in my step in the lightest way possible .

A friend of mine blends it with water and strains out the pulp, adds a dash of sea salt and lemon✨ you’ve got options

We don’t carry cleavers dried - because it just doesn’t taste nearly the same, it’s flat and often doesn’t dry well. SOO here’s your reminder to go back in nature, look at the cracks between the sidewalks, the edges of the forest , and forage with care.

You’ll know her by her whorled leaves and that it sticks to your clothes like Velcro
