Okayyyy… I’m officially caught up on orders. 🙌
Which means if you’ve been eyeing the Soap Starter Bundle (6 of our best-selling goat milk bars), this is your moment.
It still comes with a FREE bottle of No Drama Mama Cream — and that little bonus disappears tomorrow night.
And since I’m already planning to pack orders tomorrow…
Just saying. 😏

Quick check:
Are you bracing right now?
Shoulders tight?
Jaw clenched?
Breath shallow?
Take one slow inhale.
Longer exhale.
That’s the beginning of a reset.
If you want to go deeper, I built a simple 5-Day Nervous System Reset around the spray + tea I use when I’m in that space.
Because powering through isn’t a strategy.
Support is.

Drop a 🌿 if you felt that shoulder check.

Sometimes you don’t need a full ritual.

You just need a moment.

Our hand-poured soy candles are made in repurposed crystal jars (yes, the good ones) and blended with scents that match the mood you’re in — or the mood you want to be in.

Need calm?
Need focus?
Need to clear the damn energy in a room?

There’s a scent for that.

They’re clean-burning, cozy, and just witchy enough without trying too hard.

Light one while you:
• journal
• drink your tea
• fold laundry and pretend it’s a sacred act
• or stare at the wall and decompress

Small ritual. Big shift.

Tell me — are you lighting for calm, clarity, or “clear the crap out of this room”?

If your skin has been cranky lately… this is your sign.
Our Soap Starter Bundle is for you if you're tired of:
• tight, itchy winter skin
• mystery ingredients
• shower products that feel like a science experiment

Inside? A curated lineup of our handcrafted goat milk soaps — gentle, nourishing, and actually made to support your skin barrier instead of stripping it.

Goat milk soap is naturally rich in fats and lactic acid, which means:
✨ softer skin
✨ less irritation
✨ that “oh wow” feeling when you towel off

If you’ve been meaning to try our soaps but didn’t know where to start, this bundle makes it easy.

No drama. No overwhelm. Just good soap that works.

Drop a 🫧 in the comments if your skin could use a reset.

Here’s something we don’t talk about enough:
When stress sticks around, your body forgets how to downshift.
It’s not a mindset problem.
It’s a nervous system pattern.
Scent + breath send calming cues directly to your body.
Warm herbal tea supports digestive tension — one of the first places stress shows up.
Do that consistently for a few days?
Your system remembers how to soften.
That’s exactly why I created the Calm & Settle 5-Day Reset.
Not dramatic.
Just steady.

Your shoulders up by your ears again?
That low hum of “everything is a little too loud”?
Same.
When my nervous system starts bracing, I don’t overhaul my life.
I reset it.
5 days.
2 products.
That’s it.
Spray to interrupt the stress loop.
Tea to settle what stress stores in the gut.
Repeat.
Small signals.
Repeated consistently.
That’s how you soften overwhelm.
If this week has felt like too much, start here.

A simple head + gut reset. Calm the F*ck Down Spray paired with Gut Check Tea for layered nervous system and digestive support.

Today’s pull felt… honest.
I asked: What do I need clarity on?
Cards:
4 of Cups (reversed)
5 of Cups
9 of Cups
And wow. Okay.
The message?
Sometimes we’re not actually stuck.
We’re grieving what didn’t turn out the way we hoped.
The 5 of Cups is that feeling of staring at what spilled.
The plan that didn’t pan out.
The expectation that didn’t match reality.
And if we’re not careful, we build our next move from that disappointment.
The 4 of Cups reversed felt like a nudge:
“Are you sure there isn’t something being offered right now that you’re overlooking because it doesn’t look like the original dream?”
Oof.
And then the 9 of Cups — the “wish” card.
But it didn’t feel like fireworks.
It felt quieter than that.
More like:
“What would actually feel satisfying… if you stopped trying to prove something?”
That hit.
So maybe clarity isn’t about doing more.
Maybe it’s about being honest about what we’re still grieving — and what fulfillment actually looks like now.
If you’ve been feeling disappointed, restless, or a little numb… this one might be for you too.
You’re not behind.
You’re recalibrating.

Something I’ve been noticing this week…
When stress shows up, it doesn’t just live in our heads.
It lands in our shoulders.
Our breath.
Our stomach.
The nervous system and digestion are more connected than we realize.
So lately I’ve been paying attention to both.
A quick spray when things feel loud.
A mug of something settling when my body feels tight.
Nothing dramatic.
Just small, layered support.
What’s one small thing that’s helped your body soften this week?

Tomorrow’s Valentine’s Day.
And I’ve been thinking about how differently it lands depending on where you are in life.
Some years it feels sweet and easy.
Some years it feels tender.
Some years it barely registers.
I’ve had all of those seasons.
What I’ve learned is that love doesn’t always show up in big, dramatic gestures. Most of the time, it’s quieter than that.
It’s someone remembering how you take your coffee.
It’s a text that says, “Did you get home okay?”
It’s making soup when someone’s tired.
It’s staying when things feel hard.
And sometimes… it’s offering that same care to yourself.
Not in a loud, “treat yourself” kind of way.
Just in a steady, kind way.
Going to bed a little earlier.
Making something warm to drink.
Letting the day be gentle instead of packed.
I think Valentine’s Day can be whatever you need it to be.
It can be celebration.
It can be reflection.
It can be ordinary.
There’s no right way to hold it.
However tomorrow meets you, I hope it feels soft.
I hope it feels kind.
And I hope you remember that love doesn’t have to be loud to be real.

So here’s what I did to regulate myself this morning.
I usually wake up to 100+ emails and dive straight into them.
Today, I didn’t.
I made coffee. I sat down. And instead of opening my inbox, I responded to every single comment on that post.
And it was kind of astonishing how many of you said, “This is exactly how I’ve been feeling.”
We carry this stuff quietly. We assume it’s just us. We think we’re the only ones bracing.
But clearly… we’re not.
We’re all moving through this season in our own way. Different pressures. Different worries. Same tight shoulders.
It helped to respond to you one by one. It felt steadier than chasing the inbox.
Maybe that’s the lesson for me this week — connection before chaos.
