I’ve always thought they are really underrated…

Dear Reader, As the days get warmer and spring settles into its rhythm, I find myself unfurling like the buds on the trees and the plants. I’m called to go out into the world more, not just for errands and appointments and the daily dog walks, but for enjoyment, adventure and discovery. Hikes, drives, meeting up with friends… The sun can be intense here in the high desert and so I always like to take a hydrosol or full spectrum spray in my bag or rucksack to cool me off and bring some hydration to the space I’m inhabiting at any given moment. They are so easy to use, safe, vibrant, fresh and cooling in bringing a wonderful balance to the warmer, denser feelings of the pure essential oils. I love the sprays for this. I love the fact that hydrosols and our unique full spectrum sprays are already diluted so safe for everyone rarely causing skin sensitivity or reactions. They carry the fragrance of each plant and their mood-enhancing properties without being overwhelming. I spray them around my head and face allowing the mist to gently land. This refreshes me when I am out and about as well as bringing me home to myself and the moment. When it’s hot and I want to freshen up, our wild spearmint hydrosol is my all-time favorite. Check out our hydrosol shop here. They really bridge the gap between plain water and concentrated essential oils, bringing you ready-to-go plant therapy. I have always thought hydrosols were severely underrated. If you haven’t encountered our full spectrum sprays yet, they are a recombination of the essential oil and hydrosol of the same plant according to IFRA safety standards specifically created to capture the maximum range of the plant’s components. Like the hydrosol they are ready-to-spray but are a little more concentrated and intense – great as a refreshing skin or space scent. Check out our new range of full-spectrum sprays.

Dear Reader, The best way to get to know an aromatic, when possible, is to have a relationship with the plant or tree in nature. When this happens, we never forget the unique qualities of the plant and our relationship with it. Scots pine is one of these aromatics for me. It is one of the most widely distributed pines in the world and grows naturally from Scotland almost to the Pacific Ocean and from above the Arctic Circle in Scandinavia to the Mediterranean. (1) It became an important tree...
Dear Reader, Thanksgiving happens in the US this week, followed in a month by Christmas. While these holidays can allow us to connect to a deep soul need during this cold inward season, they can also be a significant source of stress. Under stress, we regress and can lose sight of our soul needs, get distracted and ungrounded. Many then can't wait for the season to be over, instead of taking the time to honor our soul needs during this precious time. Here are five ways to stay connected to...
