I was making decorative soaps today! I know it seems early. 🙄 Cold process soap takes 6-8 weeks to cure, so I get started before anyone is thinking about the holidays! This soap smells like a walk in a winter forest. Pine, fir, and cedarwood essential oils round out the scent. While goat milk and organic shea butter are a creamy delight for your skin. I tried something new: piping leaves and rolling little holly berries out of soap dough. If you watch baking shows you’re familiar with all the techniques. Decorating cakes is a lot like decorating soap. It takes so much practice! I’m not going to lie, the first 40 or so leaves I piped went right back in the frosting bag. Now, to see it all come together makes me so happy! 🧼🎂🧁😍 #soapmaking #imadeyoursoap #makersgonnamake #nurturewildbeauty #holidaysoap #handmade

Into the garden I go with my scissors and sun hat. The morning is the best time to harvest medicinal herbs, after the dew has evaporated. Flowers are open and strongly scented. This tells you that the plant medicine is at its most potent. Bundles of herbs are hanging from the rafters throughout my house. My shelves are full of herbs, but there’s so much left to harvest! I borrowed a dehydrator from a friend, and I'm in Day 3 of herb drying. Soon, the hops will be ready, and this will fill the dehydrator top to bottom several times over. For those who are curious, this is what I dried this week: calendula, chamomile, comfrey, eucalyptus, feverfew, lemon balm, lemongrass, lemon verbena, motherwort, mugwort, nettles, parsley, passionflower, peppermint, red raspberry leaf, rosemary, sage, self heal, skullcap, spearmint, St. John's wort, and thyme! Next I’ll solar infuse many different herbs in oils, and eagerly wait. This Fall, I’ll be prepared to make oodles of herbal concoctions: salves, body butters, beer, dried teas, and dream pillows. Special thanks to my friend Brian who lent me the dehydrator. 💚💚💚 #nurturewildbeauty #flauntyourleaves #talkplantytome #myherbalstudies #plantmagic #herbalwitch #witchyvibes #growyourownmedicine #harvestseason #wildwoman #wildwomansisterhood #botanicaldaydreams #raiseyourvibration #theartofslowliving #apothecary #folkherbalism #risesisterrise #dcwellness #walkwithlocalsdc #dcgradens #brooklanddc #washingtongardener #plantsoverpills #cultivatethecity #gardenista #theotherdc #greendc #ediblegarden #kitchenwitchcraft #healingherbs

Summer is winding down. There's only a few weekends left to hit the beach. But there is one way to get the health benefits of sea salt for your skin year round. A bar of Dead Sea Salt soap from my shop contains 2 ounces of sea salt. That's half the weight of the bar! Many people visit the Dead Sea to take baths and mud treatments that rejuvenate skin, improve skin disorders, and relieve arthritis. Salt from the Dead Sea is a potent source of essential minerals, like magnesium. Bathing and washing with Dead Sea salt is a good way to boost your magnesium, because various food sources of magnesium are not as easily absorbed. In one study, participants with dry skin received a bath with Dead Sea salt for 15 minutes. Those who bathed in Dead Sea salt had smoother skin than the control group. Redness and dryness, which are signs of inflammation, also decreased. Sea salt also helps relax muscles, achy joints, and tired feet. It can help diminish stress, and improve your sleep. Find out what all the fuss is about. Order a bar at MayappleSoaps.com or find me tomorrow at the Brookland Farmers Market. The market goes from 9am-1pm in the Arts Walk, 716 Monroe Street NE. #organicskincare #madeindc #202creates #bythingsdc #womanownedbusiness #showlocallove #dcbusiness #capitolcreated #thisismadeindc #grownindc #onlyindc #livemoremagic #everydaymadewell #dcstyle #ibuydc #buylocaldc #dcmakers #brooklanddc #brooklandfarmersmarket #artswalkdc #mydccool #districtlylocal #popville #magnesium #skinnutrition #saltbath #deadseasalts #ancientskincaresecrets #brookland #freshfarmmarkets
