New(ish) item! "New-ish" because we started carrying these this spring and I haven't shared them here yet. And they are so worth sharing!

Essential oil roll-ons from are created to elevate your day with essential oils blended with a purpose. Good Karma, which targets patience, is a favorite of mine.

From Orglamix: "Blended from 99% pure and natural, steam-distilled patchouli, sweet orange and lemongrass essential oils known to support good intentions. With its unique aroma, Good Karma offers a fragrant, natural, and effective alternative to synthetic options for positivity and quiet introspection."

Keep this in your desk or bag and roll on your temples or back of the neck whenever you need an extra dose of patience.

We love Orglamix for being a woman-owned, Glenview-based small business focused on non-toxic and cruelty-free beauty.

Here's how it all began! My pandemic pivot began 4 years ago with a plant pop-up shop in 's studio. As time went on, the studio got smaller and the shop, named Rooted by Pollen, got bigger. A year ago, Rooted by Pollen rebranded to Rooted Living, adding a consciously curated selection of gifts and home goods as well as creative workshops.

Thanks to all who have supported us on this journey!

This is our weekend look. Please don't let the heavy machinery keep you from coming by for Teacher Appreciation and Mother's Day gifts!

If you're stumped about what to give, plants are a safe option for most people! And we can help you choose easy care plants for those who put all their nurturing energy into people, rather than plants.

We also carry scented candles, handmade soaps, journals, and other self-care items to encourage taking some time for oneself.

On our newsletter list? Check your inbox for gift ideas made by local, woman-owned, eco-friendly businesses.

Teacher Appreciation Day is Tuesday, May 7th! And because they deserve more than just a day, Monday kicks off Teacher Appreciation Week.

Come by this week and pick up a little something to show your kiddo's teacher that you appreciate them! We have plants (of course), locally made natural soaps and candles, journals, and plenty of other goodies to encourage the teacher in your life to enjoy some self care.

We have you covered for Mother's Day! In addition to plants, we have gift items to encourage the mama in your life to slow down and reconnect with themselves. And of course, we have greeting cards for all sorts of moms, including weird moms, plant moms, step moms, new moms...

Remember to shop early if you have to mail a card or gift to your mom!
