Take care of yourself this holiday season

Spending my time with plant-based ingredients, herbs, and essential oils to make thoughtful gifts for my friends and family helped me to feel connected and centered in a time that I needed it most. 

And this holiday season I would like to share that with you. 

Imagine the relaxing fragrance of essential oils keeping you calm and happy while you use your hands to easily make artisan-inspired gifts using natural plant-based ingredients.

I assure you it will be more beneficial than online shopping. 

Because you took the time to take care of yourself and get creative this holiday season, you're also giving your friends and family the gift of you. 

Your creativity. Your time. And your well being.

They will appreciate gifts that came from your heart, were made with your hands, and fed your soul.

It's easy to look like a pro crafter, even if you're a total beginner.

Make gift-giving simple.

If you don't know where to start and you think making tub teas, bath bombs, and lotion bars is difficult, this course will be your best friend!

The recipes in this course are so easy to make that if you can make a salad or warm up leftovers then you can do this!

No kidding.

You'll be guided step-by-step through making each type of project and the all-natural, plant-based ingredients used. 

And learning about the herbal properties and health benefits will help you customize the projects to suit your tastes while feeling pretty darn good about what you are making and giving.

If you are more experienced at crafting, you will quickly be able to take the techniques and ideas for incorporating botanical elements and make them your own.

And each and every project comes with gift wrapping instructions to make them truly stand out from all the typical gifts that you see during the season.

“The projects look just like what you see in the photos! Stephanie is a natural at making step-by-step and DIY instructions so accessible. It's one of the reasons I have followed her on Garden Therapy for years. Stephanie's ideas are so creative and innovative but even more impressive, she is so good at laying out how anybody can do the projects themselves at home with ease. You don't have to have a green thumb and you certainly don't have to be skilled at crafts either. Beautiful results come easily if you just follow your instructions.”

Give a gift that comes from the heart (not plastic bag or box)

It’s totally possible to celebrate the holidays without glitter, artificial colors, or synthetic fragrances.

If you're like me you're a maker who loves using natural elements to craft with. You use natural ingredients because they're better for you, better for the earth, and create less waste. 

Hand crafting your own botanical beauty gifts from all-natural plant-based ingredients is not only a wonderful way to spend your time but it's a heartfelt gift to share with your friends and family. 

And if some of the ingredients come from a garden that you've tended or from plants that you've harvested the gift truly comes from your labor of love.

If you think that all natural health and beauty products are boring and think again!

Nature provides us with so much inspiration and beauty. Using flower petals and herbs, essential oils, beeswax and cocoa butter, you can make gorgeous products that are so natural you can eat them but so beautiful that they look like works of art.
