Okayyyy I know that every time I make a new oil, I say it’s my favorite. I mean it this time! 🙊 this one came out so beautifully and is exactly what it is meant to be. The guidance I prayed for came in loud and clear and the scent is so soft and sweet. 🍬 I almost added lavender essential oil and then second guessed it because I didn’t want it to overpower the Roman chamomile and vanilla or the rose. Especially since it already has dried lavender in it. I thought “ehhh I’ll just add ONE drop to each bottle” and then I spilled the lavender EO all over my desk. 🥲 all I could do was laugh and say “noted”.

I added each botanical to every bottle with intention and love including the rose quartz and copal resin that anchors each bottle. 🥰

I made it a point to create this one on earth day in honor of Tonanztin and all that she gives us. Now they’re on my altar and covered in one of my Virgencita handkerchiefs just like her mantel. As I covered them I prayed that each person who receives one would feel exactly that. Wrapped in her mantle. Safe. Grounded. Nurtured. Supported and connected. 🥰

I can’t wait for you all to experience this one! It’ll be up on the website on 4/24

🌹 Introducing: Virgencita Devotional Oil + Madre Nurturing Roller 🌸

I’m so excited to share these with you!

These two offerings were created in honor of the Divine Mother in all her forms. within us, around us, and through the lineages that came before us.

Inspired by Our Lady of Guadalupe and her connection to Tonantzin, these blends carry the energy of nurturing, protection, devotion, and deep emotional support.

🌹Virgencita Devotional Oil
A sacred, altar-crafted oil for prayer, ritual, and intentional moments of connection.

Made with a blend of florals and herbs including rose, chamomile, lavender, damiana, rosemary, calendula, and motherwort, this oil was created to support the heart, soothe the nervous system, and hold you through moments of reflection, grief, softness, and love.

Each bottle includes a small piece of copal resin as an offering to bring in the energy of purification, prayer, and connection to the sacred.

This is for your rituals, your quiet moments, your conversations with something greater.

🌸 Madre Nuturing Roller
A gentle, everyday companion for grounding, comfort, and support.

This roller carries the same loving intention in a more accessible form making it perfect for daily use when you need to pause, breathe, and come back to yourself.

Apply to wrists, heart space, or temples throughout the day as a reminder:
you are allowed to soften
you are allowed to be held
you are allowed to care for yourself, too

These are beautiful for anyone seeking softness and nurturing. To be held.

✨ Available locally + shipping begins May 3 (Orders start April 24th)
✨ Limited first batch

I cannot wait for these to find their way to the people who need them most.

One thing about me…I’m not ending a limpia without sealing it! Here are two of my go to oils for sealing.

Velvet Shield to protect what we just cleared
Alegría y Milagros to bring in what your spirit actually needs! Because we’re not just removing energy. We’re creating space for something better to land. to be more connected than we were before.

Feedback about Velvet Shield has been “it feels like a warm hug”. 🥰 which I love because that was the goal. To bring in protection that feels like a warm embrace when we need it most. To bring a sense of safety to your nervous system when you feel both internal and external stress closing in.

I have 4 left before it’s out of stock!

If you’re new here, I want to be transparent about living with chronic illness, which means my energy and capacity aren’t always predictable.

This work is deeply intentional 🥰
Every batch is infused, prayed over, and created with care. because of that I don’t push myself to produce beyond what my body can sustain. So when something sells out, it may be a little while before it returns.
If you’ve been wanting one, now is the time 🛡️ this one infuses for a minimum of 3 weeks and a new batch hasn’t been created quite yet.

Thank you for supporting a business that honors rest and cycles 🤗🥰

Hi, bbs!

I was supposed to be at a market last weekend aaaaaand my body said no ❤️‍🩹 I’m feeling bummed I didn’t make it and missed out on introducing folks to my products

If you’ve been here for a bit, you know I’m learning how to move with a body that doesn’t always cooperate. It’s something I’m still navigating, especially when I’ve poured time and intention into preparing for events like this.

So I’m bringing a little bit of the market to you instead ✨

If you’ve been curious about my oils, baños, or ritual pieces, this feels like a beautiful time to try them.

For a limited time:
🌿 15% off your order (til 4/19)
🌿 Use code: MARIPOSA15
🌿 Applies online and for local pickup

Everything is made in small batches, with intention, prayer, and care. These are the pieces that were meant to be shared this weekend, and I’d love for them to find their way to you.

If you’ve been feeling called to slow down, reconnect, or tend to your nervous system in a gentler way…this is your invitation 🤗

Thank you for being here, for supporting my work, and for allowing me to grow at a pace that honors both my body and my path.

Ellen 🦋

P.S. Candles are only available for local pick up for now to ensure they make it to you safely. If you aren’t local and would like to purchase one, message me, and I’d be happy to burn it on my altar for you. 🥰
