Would it even be a few weeks away from the stal̓əw̓ Pow-Wow if I didn’t have a new product available? ✨ ☀️ ✨

I want to tell you this was on purpose but then I’d be lying. I accidentally made too much dry body oil so instead of having overstock, I added some copper and rose mica to some to create this beautiful shimmer body oil. The exact same as the classic “oil’ll always love you” but a little extra sumthin’ to keep those summer days on your skin. Don’t be intimated by the deep looking color, it’s very subtle on the skin and is a good shade for every skin tone.

Come try it out for yourself at the stalew pow wow September 11-13 at the Langley events centre.

Fermented fireweed leaf tea incoming! ‼️ 🚨 ‼️

I only make this once a year so stock is limited. Once it’s gone it’s gone. This won’t be ready until next week as the process is multi step and time consuming. This is what I do for y’all!
Love and respect,

While the Canada Post strike continues, please be patient with any online order shipping. I will try to drop off any orders a few times per week but it is not as convenient for
me to access the UPS drop off. This will result in longer shipping times. Thanks for your understanding.

This will be an ongoing set of workshop with myself and other facilitators. This one goes until the beginning of December but will start up again in the new year until June. Please check the registration form for details! Feel free to spread the word!

You may have noticed I haven’t been as active as I once was on the socials. I have been busy! My uni classes ended in June, along with my work term. I had a few workshop bookings in July but mostly I have been taking time to relax and recharge.

I have taken on some important work in the coming months and the new year (workshops to uplift marginalized women) and therefore I have very few openings available.

My workshops bookings are closed for the remainder of 2024. I will consider requests for January to March 2025 after Fall and will announce when they are open for booking.

As always, I am forever grateful to all of you for your ongoing support. You mean so much to me!
