🌿☀️ Sunday with Shannon ☀️🌿

People often ask me what my favorite part of being an herbalist is, and my answer is almost always the same... working with the plants by hand. Whether I'm blending herbs, making medicine, or simply taking a moment to appreciate their colors and aromas, these quiet moments never feel like work.

There's something incredibly grounding about slowing down and creating with plants. It's a reminder that some of the best things in life can't be rushed. 💚

Summer is glorious, yes.

Gardens explode. Tomatoes finally remember their purpose. Bees become tiny caffeinated landlords.

But heat also asks a lot from the body. Long days, blazing sun, humidity thick enough to chew, disrupted sleep, dehydration, crankiness, and the strange phenomenon where even your elbows seem sweaty.

I never travel without a bottle of Lavender Room Spray.

Sometimes, staying in a hotel or Airbnb can result in an awful night's sleep. Weird noises, a strange place... talk about the opposite of a relaxing weekend away!

Cue our Lavender Room Spray. Just a few spritzes on my pillow before bed and I transport to a calm, tranquil space. It can promote natural relaxation and deep sleep, so no matter where I am, I feel just as relaxed as if I were in my own bed at home!

"It's always better to have too much to read than not enough."

Just when I think I have too many books, I find a new one and tell myself, "well, what's one more?!"

Here are some of the books I swear by; I could read them a million times and I'll always learn something new!

What book do you always keep on your shelf?

We don't recommend putting this mustard on your hot dogs...

Instead, add a few drops to your water bottle in the morning to help naturally break the cycle of negative thoughts and promote positivity in your day-to-day routine.
