Falling into Seasons of Change

by


           Fall has definitely begun as a season of transformation for us; resetting, reorganizing, and regrouping from this past Summer season of endless hot days that still linger in the air. The summer sun just won’t let us go even in October when today is a sweltering 90 degrees. But alas, I can still feel Fall’s sweet breath in the air as it brings with it winds of change and transformations, those of which come with a beautiful feeling of both nostalgia and revitalization.

            With September came changes and events that kept us in somewhat of a standstill as far as creating and implementing ideas. It was a month of movement as we now find ourselves having shifted jobs, houses, partners—all of which have collectively given us newfound visions and motivations to press on and continue this journey that we started last Spring, but with new energy and inspiration.

            That being said, we were recently commissioned to provide small gifts for a wedding shower for a friend this month and decided to make two of our lip balms that we will soon be offering. Each attendee will receive one Solar Flare lip balm and one Red Roots Lip Balm. Inciting the power of both the Sun and Moon on the eve of the Lunar Eclipse and Blood Moon this past week we made these 50 balms in our small workspace. The energy of the moon and the powerful sunshine streaming through the open windows strongly influenced the creation of these products (as pictured below), one for the Sun & one for the beauty of the Blood Moon. They turned out great and we are so excited to share them with those attending the shower this coming weekend and with anyone else who is interested.

Red Roots Lip Balm // Alkanet Root and Calendula Flowers infused in Olive Oil, Beet Root, Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Beeswax, non GMO Vitamin E Oil, and Essential Oils of Rosemary & Peppermint.  
*All ingredients are Organic. 

            After finishing our lip balms we continued to take advantage of our productive spirit and packaged our Smoke Blend, which is a beautiful fusion of herbs that create a smooth & fragrant smoke free of chemicals and tobacco.  


Holy Smokes || Drawing from the clearing and lung restorative properties of Mullein, the soft and delicate nature of Marshmallow Leaf, and the aphrodisiac powers of Damiana, this blend merges tranquility and passion as it opens the heart and revitalizes the spirit. Also combined with Mugwort, well known for its powerful dream-inducting effects and associated with Artemis, the Goddess of the Hunt and the Moon, as well as Rose Petals, this passionate smoke blend is calming & comforting to the body and the mind.

Contains : Mullein, Mugwort, Marshmallow Leaf, Damiana, & Rose Petals. 
*All ingredients are Organic.  Comes in a 4 oz cobalt blue glass reusable jar.

            We are currently looking for a new workspace so that we can continue creating and experimenting with new products in a more efficient way. We will soon be featuring our products at local farmers markets and craft fairs and will be posting more details as soon as possible. Follow us on Instagram for recent photos of products and updates and email us at rootsandhoneyherbs@gmail.com if you are interested in purchasing.

Love, Light & Inspiration,

Whitney & Brooke
