Fresh out of the apothecary today… 🌿✨

This second batch of hand-pressed foaming bath bombs is scented with a beautiful blend of lemongrass and frankincense.

Bright, fresh lemongrass lifts the senses while warm, resinous frankincense brings a grounding calm — a scent that feels both cleansing and deeply relaxing.

Each bomb is carefully pressed by hand using a traditional moon cake mold, giving them their beautiful detail and making every piece a little work of art.

Drop one into a warm bath and enjoy:🫧 creamy foaming bubbles🌿 mineral-rich salts✨ a calming aromatherapy experience

Small batch. Handcrafted with care at Living Well Apothecary.

Sometimes the simplest rituals — warm water, beautiful botanicals, and a moment of stillness — are the ones that restore us the most. 🛁💫

Today’s batch of foaming bath bombs turned out beautifully and I’m a little bit in love with them. 🌙✨

I pressed these with a moon cake mold, and the detail came out perfectly — crisp edges, smooth finish, and they feel wonderfully solid.

This formula creates a luxurious, creamy foam in the bath thanks to gentle coconut-derived surfactants, while mineral salts and silky tapioca starch leave the water feeling soft and comforting on the skin.

The scent blend is one of my favourites:🍊 Bright citrus notes of bergamot🌲 Deep, resinous frankincense

It’s fresh, grounding, and a little bit magical.

What I love most about this batch is how beautifully the formula behaved — the mixture pressed perfectly without needing any extra spritzing, and the molds released cleanly. Always a good day in the apothecary when that happens.

Today in the apothecary I’m infusing Arnica flowers into rich extra-virgin olive oil is one of my favorite traditional herbal preparations. 🌼✨

Arnica (Arnica montana) has been used for centuries as a topical herb to support the body’s natural recovery process. When infused slowly into olive oil, its beneficial compounds are gently extracted, creating a deeply nourishing herbal oil for the skin and tissues.

This beautiful golden oil is traditionally used to support:• Bruises and bumps• Muscle soreness and stiffness• Joint discomfort• Minor inflammation• Overworked muscles after activity

Extra-virgin olive oil is the perfect carrier for this infusion. It’s rich in antioxidants, skin-loving fatty acids, and helps deliver herbal constituents deep into the tissues while keeping the skin soft and nourished.

Once the infusion is complete, this oil becomes the base for one of the most beloved preparations in the apothecary — Arnica Salve — a staple in many natural medicine cabinets.

Nature truly provides powerful tools for healing. 🌿

⚠️ Arnica is for external use only and should not be used on broken skin.

🌕 Happy Full Moon — March 3, 2026
Worm Moon • Virgo Full Moon • Total Lunar Eclipse (Blood Moon)

This Full Moon rises in Virgo while the Sun rests in Pisces — bringing a powerful balance between intuition and practicality, spirit and structure.

Because this lunation is also a Total Lunar Eclipse, it carries amplified energy. Lunar eclipses mark turning points. They reveal what has been hidden and illuminate what is ready to shift.

✨ Sun in Pisces opposite Moon in Virgo — heart and discernment coming into alignment
✨ Lunar Eclipse in Virgo — releasing perfectionism and self-criticism
✨ Moon sextile Jupiter — supportive, expansive healing energy
✨ Mercury in Pisces — intuitive insight guiding grounded action

This is a moon for refinement, cleansing, simplifying, and returning to what truly nourishes.

Virgo energy reminds us: wellness is built through daily devotion. Small rituals matter. Consistency matters. Care matters.

Tonight, release what feels heavy.
Clear what no longer serves.
Commit to the habits that support your highest self.

Why I Use Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished Ontario Suet Tallow

Not all beef tallow is created equal.

The tallow I use in my formulations comes from grass-fed, grass-finished cattle raised in Ontario, without added hormones or antibiotics. It is carefully rendered and filtered multiple times for purity, clarity, and stability.

Why this matters for your skin:

• A more balanced fatty acid profile
• Naturally rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E & K
• Suet (the kidney fat) produces a firmer, more refined tallow ideal for skincare
• Proper rendering removes impurities and results in a clean, stable product

And something important —
When rendered correctly, high-quality suet tallow has virtually no beefy scent. It is clean, subtle, and neutral, making it ideal for facial formulations.

Tallow reflects the life of the animal — its diet, its environment, and its care.

Raised in Ontario.
Crafted with integrity.
Formulated with intention.
