How it started:

In 2018, I was having issues with ingrown hairs because of shaving. My esthetician sister gave me some pointers on making a sugar scrub with essential oils to help exfoliate the area. I made the Ingrown Bundle - a sugar scrub and serum and I was so surprised how well it actually worked!
 
I started making other things to lessen my carbon footprint; toothpaste, salves and body oils were a few examples. Trialing and error over the years, I found what worked and what didn't for each product. 
 
Flash forward to covid, like many people being bored at home, I started a garden.  I quickly fell in love with tending and nurturing the plants I was working with. Building a relationship with each plant I grew, incorporating them into my DIY projects;

Crystal's Holistic Garden was born
 

How it's going:

Sitting with each plant and tapping into their energy is a big part of how I create products. It's an intuitive hit the plant gives me. Sometimes I'll harvest a plant and sit with it for months before creating anything with it.  

When the plant is ready to be transformed, I'll look to the moon to see what phase it's in.  Each creation will be affected by the phase of the moon- full moon for releasing and new moon for creation.  I will use the full moon for creating specific products also like the Allergy Tincture (for releasing allergy symptoms). Carefully carving intention into everything I create. The garden is really an act of love from the heart.
