Bloom to Balm

❤🌿😎 Getting on top of handmade inventory when you open a REALLY CUTE storefront, BUT already have a pretty busy website, has been an interesting juggle and challenge! 😅 I'm just SO glad I have a bigger, AMAZING production kitchen where I've been able to double and triple some of these batches! Last weekend we sold out of Happy Face, Dande-Mag, Reactive Rescue (our newest top seller), Strains & Sprains, ALL of my Dande-Lotions were gone (like, ALL of them), Detox Scrub, and (of course) we ran out of H**p Salve. 💥 Which means... it's been a SUPER BUSY WEEK restocking ALL of them so we can open tomorrow with full shelves!! 😅

SO... if you were shopping online and saw things sold out, come grab them - they are back! If you are heading to Raspberry Days in Garden City this weekend... stop in! The shelves are stocked and ready for you!! 🌿

😭 RESTLESS LEGS KEEPING YOU AWAKE? If you get that awful, uncomfortable, twitchy feeling in your legs that keeps you from relaxing, you need to add this to your bedtime routine! Infused with dandelion and chamomile, my Magnesium Cream helps calm muscles, ease tension, and support better rest. It absorbs quickly, smells amazing, and will improve not only your sleep - but when you sleep well, EVERYTHING IS BETTER, even how you handle stress! 😎 If you also have painful neuropathy in your legs or feet, use it together with my H**p Salve. Or... if your brain WILL NOT shut off while your legs are moving around like crazy - pair it with my Serenity Salve! These combos will take you from 😭 to 😁!!

Topical magnesium by itself will do wonders for restless legs and more restful sleep... but what it also does is BOOST my salves that target pain! For example, use it WITH H**p Salve to calm your burning nerves, or WITH Strains & Sprains for Plantar Fasciitis, it's a favorite at our house to use...

❌ KNEE PAIN!? Are you ready for a knee replacement or maybe already had one and the pain STILL has you popping pills like candy?! I've got a salve for that!!

🌿 Infused with comfrey, which is widely known and documented as having anti-inflammatory properties, it's also been specifically studied for knee pain! Some studies have found comfrey-infused ointments to be as effective as, or even more effective than the usual over-the-counter options! 😎 My favorite thing about herb-infused salves is instead of a pill that has to go through your WHOLE system (which is typically why you have side effects), a salve soaks in and delivers relief at the source. Oh, and it's not just for knee pain... wherever your bones and joints are giving you fits, give it a try! 💚

⭐️ TIP: For extra relief at night (especially if you get restless legs) use it together with my Dande-MAG(nesium) Cream!

❤️🌿❤️ A super easy way to START making some practical switches to my salves is to grab a 6-Salve Kit! Out of 24 salves, you get to build your own kit and pick ANY 6! They are travel-friendly, perfectly sized for sampling, you get a free window tin to put them in - AND it's on sale all month long, so it's basically like getting the 6th one free! 😎 If you haven't jumped on the salve wagon yet - this is the best place to start! Or, if it's time to freshen up your stash, now's a great time! 😉

Our store is open today 10-2pm... if you are local, come see us! Otherwise, we are still shipping nationwide daily and would love to pack one up for you! 🌿

🌼💋🌿 Having my own store on Main Street has been UNREAL, a literal dream!! These last three weeks have been simply AMAZING!! When other little girls were playing house, I was playing "store". When other kids were riding bikes, I was setting up a lemonade stand. It's just in my blood.

It's been so fun- it's quite educational to listen to the customer chatter, I love seeing patterns in what the most asked questions are - and sometimes it's even comical!! Here's an example... I KNOW my lip balms are pure botanical bliss. Herb-infused, butter whipped - so soothing you'll never buy commercial again kind of bliss - and they've always been good sellers on my website, but here in the store... OH MY GOODNESS. They are a showstopper!! 😎 There are almost NO shopping baskets that don't have 1, 2, or 5 - or all 8! 😅 We've even had a few customers who just pick one - then came back the next week for ALL OF THEM. And - the conversations about everyone's favorite? 😂 It's getting competitive. Mine is currently Happy Lips. Eric's has ALWAYS been Cocoa-Pep, but overall, seems like the customer consensus is Dandelion Rose. I think I should just award it "the best lip balm ever" award. It's that good. ❤

So. The shop opens at noon - which means I better run. I'll need to whip up a few batches to refill my bins or the ladies might stampede. 😉

🌼🌹🌼 Why are my Infused Oil Cleansers 5-Star and how do they work!? It's so cool, actually! The oil in the cleanser acts like a magnet that dissolves and binds to makeup, excess oils, and other impurities that sit on your skin and inside your pores - then it emulsifies and rinses them away with a splash of water! It leaves your skin naturally clean, but never dry or stripped like soap or wipes! My hidden secret?! I infuse the oil with DANDELION BLOOMS making the cleanser not only nourishing, but super gentle for sensitive skin and an automatic blemish buster! It also helps train your skin (whether it's dry or oily) to maintain a balanced, natural moisture barrier - and to NOT overproduce (or underproduce) its own oil! 🤩 It'll change your cleansing routine to something you enjoy - in fact, it's so wonderful that you'll NEVER want to use a stinging makeup wipe again! 😉 Follow it with one of my Facial Salves... and you have a 2-step simple routine that will change the game for your skin. 😎

I have three collections... which one is your favorite?

🌹 Dandelion Rose: Age gracefully with me, I'm turning 50!
💜 Happy Face: Clean, nourishing herbal routine
💥 Acne Attack: Clean, nourishing herbal routine (also targets acne)

❌ TIME TO DITCH ALUMINUM! My handmade deodorant is powered by herbs, minerals, and essential oils WITHOUT aluminum, alcohol, parabens, dyes, or artificial fragrance! It smells fresh and neutral - so it's great for the ladies and the guys, (even my hubs uses it daily)! 😉 Prime your pits and DETOX with my Activated Charcoal & Tea Tree Sugar Scrub weekly, then PAMPER your pits with a deodorant that not only softens and nourishes, but is also pH-balancing and odor-busting! 😱 (oh... and yes... it can be used in "other" places. 😉

🙌 OFF LABEL TIP: Detox Scrub YOUR FACE. Yep. It's divine!!! Now - I come from the St. Ives Apricot Scrub generation and have regularly sugar scrubbed for years - so start LIGHT/SMALL if you are new to scrubbing your face, then build. When I shared this fun tip at the Grand Opening, the shelf emptied in 4.2 seconds. 😂🤣 I mean... they saw my skin up close, in person - and were like... "I'll take 3." Just sayin'.

Time to ditch the chemicals, detox from aluminum, and let Mother Nature work her magic! Powered by minerals, herbs, and oils! 🌿 Scent: Fresh, but neutral! (perfect for the ladies & guys)⭐️ Can be used "other places" besides your pits!❌ No aluminum, alcohol, parabens, dyes or artificial ...

MUST HAVE SUMMER SALVE! 🌿 When your skin encounters things like pollen, grasses, plants, or you get a bug bite, your body releases histamine as part of its natural defense response. That histamine release is what causes itching, redness, bumps, swelling, irritated skin - even hives and rashes. For some people, the trigger is pollen season, for others it’s weeding the garden, brushing against plants on a hike, or sitting on the grass at a soccer game. 🙃 Next time that happens... instead of grabbing that "tube" from the pharmacy, I hope you already have my new REACTIVE RESCUE Balm in your bag! 🌿 Infused with an herbal blend of dandelion, nettle, chamomile, and lemon balm... I picked botanicals that are rich in calming compounds like quercetin, rosmarinic acid, and apigenin and are traditionally used to soothe irritated, reactive skin. This salve IS A MUST HAVE for all of your Summer activities! 🌾

PS... It's INCREDIBLE if your reaction to a bug bite is a huge welt!

My son has been serving a mission for our church in Vanuatu, and before he left two years ago, he was the inspiration behind my Bug Ya Later Stick. NO WAY was I going to let him do a daily Permethrin protocol!! ❌ He gets home NEXT WEEK and is probably MORE convinced of the power of my salves than ever!! 😎 The Tea Tree Balm SAVED his skin from WHO KNOWS how many jungle/fungal outbreaks (and kept the bed bugs away), the Bug Ya Later Stick earned him the title of "best legs in the mission" (since he has WAY less bites than everyone else), and my Dandelion Salve helped him stay on top of all the general wounds and sores from just living in the jungle. These missionaries need machetes for simple daily tasks, so you can imagine the issues. 😱 In fact, it works so well on island wounds that every package I sent him, he asked for as many half-oz Dandelion Salves as I was willing to include so he could give them to the locals - BECAUSE THEY LOVE IT!! 🌼 He is an INCREDIBLY brave kid to have endured all the craziness that comes from living on 3rd world jungle islands - I'm just grateful that in extremely uncomfortable living conditions, from all the way around the world, my salves truly made a daily difference. To say I love what I do and that I am humbled by the impact of my salves - would be a severe understatement. ❤️

🥰 NINE DAYS TO GO and I will finally get my hug!!

When you mix skin-loving botanicals with nourishing butters & oils, amazing things happen! Welcome to Bloom to Balm: a wellness apothecary of handmade, herb-infused salves & small-batch natural skincare. From eczema & arthritis to acne & neuropathy - and more... I probably have a salve for that!
