I’ve been working so darn hard on my herbalism products. This thing is dope! All in one cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. About FACE. 
Tumblr media
Finally! I get to release my all-in-one herbal face cleanser, toner, moisturizer. Based on a luxurious blend of oils that nourish skin tone, prevent aging, and protect skin from the elements that were constantly exposed to. Simply use a drop or two on a warm wet cloth to cleanse face - even removes makeup! It smells incredible and will make your face glow. Follow with another drop for extra moisture or one of my other creams. I used something like this for over a year once! A bottle goes a very long way. Come to my Etsy shop! ✨ (at Roots & Crowns Workshop )

I had the honor to hear Kate Bornstein speak at PSU last night. Here is one of her comics that clearly illustrates how dangerous binaries are in all aspects of our lives. We are bred to believe everything is either/or, instead of the living fluid spectrum that life truly is. It’s so important to approach all matters with “radical wonder,” “radical welcoming,” curiosity, and above all, compassion. Thanks, Kate.

That's me! I got to spend yesterday with Alice, and we'll be adding more tree herbs in a couple of weeks. These are all herbs that I work particularly often with for rootsandcrowns, so I figured an homage to the plants with such a brilliant artist's work, truly appropriate. Love you, Alice!

By IDENTITY I mean an evolving nexus where all the forces that constitute my life converge in the mystery of self; my genetic makeup, the nature of the man and woman who gave me life, the culture in which I was raised, people who have sustained me and people who have done me harm, the good and I'll I have done to others, and to myself, the experience of love and suffering- and much, much more. In the midst of that complex field, identity is a moving intersection of the inner and outer forces that make me who I am, converging in the irreducible mystery of being human. By INTEGRITY I mean whatever wholeness I am able to find within the nexus as its vectors form and reform the pattern of my life. Integrity requires that I discern what is integral to my selfhood, what fits and what does not- and that I choose life-giving ways of relating to the forces that converge within me: do I welcome them or fear then, embrace them or reject them, move with them or against them? By choosing integrity, I become more whole, but wholeness does not mean perfection. It means becoming more real by acknowledging the whole of who I am.

Screw Guilt. Seriously, guilt is the demon of the pelvic region//2nd chakra. It creates stagnancy, blocks creative + sexual energy from flowing, and generally prevents us from actualizing our dreams. Rid thyself from guilt. :) #portland #guilt

I'm so proud of this new product that I released today. Supporting my dear friends & bringing plant power to the people! 
Tumblr media
New T.S. Scar Salve!! Inspired by friends who have had top surgery, and need to keep massaging scar tissue to further healing. Made from local beeswax, a richly infused herbal oil, and several other amazing healing elixirs- including propolis! The process to get this made and released has been long, and I’m happy for it to be out now for the new moon! #herbs #healing #salve #scars #massage #pdx #handcrafted #beeswax (at Roots & Crowns Workshop)

We waste so much energy trying to cover up who we are when beneath every attitude is the want to be loved, and beneath every anger is a wound to be healed and beneath every sadness is the fear that there will not be enough time. It’s like wearing gloves every time we touch something, and then, forgetting we chose to put them on, we complain that nothing feels quite real. Our challenge each day is not to get dressed to face the world but to unglove ourselves so that the doorknob feels cold and the car handle feels wet and the kiss goodbye feels like the lips of another being, soft and unrepeatable.

Oh. Eff. This is so spot on.
