Hanging out in Castor today at the Christmas Market! Loads to see and talented makers of all kinds.
Pop in to say hi (I'm literally in the center of the stage 👀) right next to Dragonfly Farm and Fiber Mill - so you need to come touch the soft alpaca wool! 🥰 😄

Lavender tallow lotion "bars" up for grabs!

Beef tallow infused with our favourite skin loving herbs calendula and yarrow. Great for gently nourishing and moisturizing skin after a shower, especially in these crazy dry Alberta winters.

Definitely limited edition. Scroll down if you want the back story on these ones, they've had a bit of a journey. 😅

These cute, and very festive, bundles of joy are 5 snow pesos each. 😉 💚

Let me know if you'd like to snag some!

🌿Herbal Face Mask🌿
These are super fun, easy to use, and we often automatically think of them as the "girls' night in" staple. But what are they really and how can we use them best?

What's in the mask:
🌱French green clay: we could deep dive into this one easily - but basically, it's great for drawing out impurities, exfoliating, stimulating circulation and firming skin
🌱Rose petals, chamomile, and lavender flowers: all help soothe irritation, reduce redness, and provide hydration. Plus they smell amazing. 🥰

Tips & Tricks when applying to your face and neck:
⭐️Try not to let the mask "crack" - more time does not equal more benefits, it'll actually dehydrate your skin too much and can cause redness if you have more sensitive skin.
⭐️Use warm water to gently remove clay. Try not to scrub.
⭐️Applying a toner and/or your favorite lotion or tallow to help aid in skin hydration.

If you find your skin gets red patches and warm after removing the mask (like me!)
💚Don't leave the mask on as long. Take it off when the clay is still soft. French clay stimulates circulation, so redness isn't uncommon, but we still don't want it to get to the point of being uncomfortable!
💚Try mixing the powder with aloe gel or rose water instead of just water, for extra hydration and soothing skin.
💚Make sure to moisturize once mask is removed
💚Don't use the mask super frequently - a couple of times a week is lots!

If you are a veteran face mask user and have any other tricks for us - please share!

Currently, the herbal face mask is only available as a part of the Herbal Goddess Spa Package, but I might just add the face masks and toner to my line up all on their own in the future. 👀😄

If you have been following along lately, about a week or so ago, I had an incident with my whipped tallow (long story short: it epically failed). I ended up with a jar of "what do I do with this" results and left it out of the way, too afraid to toss it and waste it but had no idea how to use it.

Then yesterday it hit me💡.... what if I melt it and pour it into a mold to be used more like a bar? Not soap, but a lotion bar?

What do you think?! Should I run with my chefs mistake!??? I have about 10. They are lavender. 😄

Even when I'm "not working", I'm working. 😅

Quiet Sunday reading by the fire and mixing up some plantain salve. The salve has been really popular and works so well on extra dry winter damaged skin - even lips!

I made a fresh batch of fire cider the other day and decided to experiment by adding cranberries. There is cinnamon, lemon, thyme and all the usual suspects (horseradish, ginger, garlic etc) I couldn't find the star anise otherwise that would have gone in too!

Isn't she pretty!? 😍

Here's what is coming up and where you will find me over the next 3 weeks. 😊💚🌿
