New studio in downtown Oakland is super fabulous. Just like her!

Curly hair only sorry straight hairs!

Special Steam locks in moisture to the hair cuticle. Things we learn while I. The studio. Results are to die for.

All over color and perfect cut. So needed after months of neglect!

Tonantzin the Mother Earth goddess was the original diety of the Aztecs. Today is her day that she came down and spoke to Juan Diego and told him to build a temple for her and did they forget about her. This was when the Spaniards were making them switch to Catholicism and this story became Guadalupe. Today is a day of feasting and go omg thanks for her. We love learning about and honoring the indigenous culture and history. The lore says she is venerated as a special green frog.

Altar set up, incense made at the advanced distillation class at Waikiki (in Washington) burned. Sweetgrass (Hierochloe odorata) hydrosol sprayed.

Mushrooms 🍄 are our favorites of all herbs. Their medicine is unsurpassed I’m so many ways and we can’t wait to help learn more about them.

When working in amazing garden this week we noticed that incredible ring (the largest we have EVeR seen!)! Her life’s work has been so special and important to the protection of our earth from day one it is no surprise that this Mother Earth and the Faerie world shows its appreciation too.

Of this mushroom ring she says, “The Liquidamber tree was planted in mushroom compost about 35 years ago. The mushroom compost was from the time I tried to grow them in the basement from horse manure that came from the police stables at GG Park. Those mycelia must have been waiting all this time to pop out. What a delight.”

Feasting on Nameko mushrooms from with fresh Rosemary, Thyme, Parsley, Chives, Garlic, sauté in Butter & Whiskey.

Also, went and got three types of Mole (Poblano, Mango, and Habañero) from our favorite as our Mexican addition to the meal and tribute to Tonantzin.

The Seasonal Apothecary updated their address.

Another local weekend of magic. So grateful for the beautiful place we pay so much to live in. It’s worth every penny as far as I’m concerned.

Local Makers Mart Gallery on Green St in North beach is incredible and open so stop by and experience it and buy local products. We are getting a table of goodies together and will be featured there soon.

Golden Gate Park for the win always. Late blooming Lillies the pleasant surprise. We have been making a lily wrinkle lotion recipe from Jeanne Roses Herbal Stufies course that we LOVE. It is made fresh and has to be kept in fridge and made every week. Buttermilk, comfrey, and Lilly petals. My skin felt so smooth and soft, I kept feeling myself!

Distilled the Rosemary pyramidalis, a variety and Chemotype specific to the respiratory system. Great for disinfecting lungs and combating COPD. Perfect during this tough time. Used the steam column still and dry steam distilled. This usually grills more essential oil, got 6.5g out of the lb!!! That is a killer yield. That my friends is how concentrated essential oils are respect that and dilute them. Less is more and it’s better for your body. POTENCY means USE less not more.

Muse, family, the incredible .

Most of those crazy jackets and Unique pieces. The casual to the timeless fancy nomad wearable art. She teaches you to be brave, connected, and one of a kind.

Love you Scatha!!

Black and white challenge Day two.

Lilith Pearl saving the day and sheltering in place.

See for the herbal 🌿 post of the day!

you said you know the origins of this challenge?

I love ❤️ you. 22 years of being the best friend I could not and would not live without. Nor would I be who I am today.

I would not know or or or how to navigate those seas.

Your honesty with love has nurtured my soul.

You bore me two beautiful god children and your home and family is so beautiful and I am so proud of your growth and you. Happy 40th birthday my love here’s to at least another 40.

Embrace the weird. Make it special and let it filter the lame, the wicked, and the sheeple.



Ps she also tagged me (finally someone did!) in the black and white photo 10 day challenge

Monica your formulator here: Sorry to not be throwing around information on how to battle this COVID just yet.

I have bee,n as you all have, adjusting to this new shelter in place and what that means for what was planned.

More information and some helpful products and information is coming REAL SOON. I know it is needed and am happy to provide my slice of help during this time.

Research and formulation takes time to do properly and that is what I have been doing, you best believe.

Here is a great article on COVID spreading and life cycles on various surfaces. https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-lifespan-on-surfaces-graphic-2020-3

Soap and Water! Then 70-80% Alcohol. DO NOT DOUSE YOURSELF WITH RAW ESSENTIAL OILS PLEASE. You will just use them up and sensitize your body or worse literally burn it. The aromatic chemicals are very different from a pure ethanol molecule. Remember that Isopropyl alcohol is distilled from propane and petroleum bi product, then cut with bitter poison to make it un-ingestible. It is cheaper and more readily available so we must combat this with upping our antioxidant intake and topical use.

The Seasonal Apothecary will be coming out with a COVID Care monthly subscription plan as well as releasing products that can help us stay sanitized and calmer during this stressful time.
