Be Wyld Child

06/01/2026

Never would I ever have thought I would be where and who I am today and I honestly can't believe I'm getting to live in these crazy times.

I'm so thankful I have the opportunity to give my heart and soul to plants, people and animals. That to me is the biggest bday gift I could ever be given. 💛

I am one of the most analog people I know, (slow-picking blossoms) and never thought I would see the days of Ai but here it is.

Rather than pulling one of my childhood photos (which are in Louisiana), I had it take this more recent photo and render what I might have looked like.

Is fascinating to go backwards this way and see if the embodied person you've become went back, who she might have been. It certainly put me in the right setting!!

May we all embrace the Wyld child within us who leads us to our greatest gifts and tells us, unabashedly what we need to hear.

May this new year bring my dream further into focus and find me doing more of what I love, helping others with my gifts (crazy wonderful natural botanical perfumes!) and living love and joy in every way possible.

Thank you for being a part of my year. ✨

Some things are too fleeting for mass production.
Orange blossoms.
A feeling.
A season.
A version of ourselves.
I wrote something new on the journal today about slow gathering, scent, memory, and the strange beauty of trying to preserve fleeting things by hand.
It feels vulnerable sharing more of the deeper world behind Be Wyld Child… but maybe that’s the point.

By DK Crawford, Be Wyld Child · Ojai, CaliforniaThere is a moment that happens to almost everyone who visits Ojai.You step out of your car, roll down the window in the East End, or pause at a bend on a trail and a scent stops you. You inhale again — more deeply this time — because whatever just...

Here’s to the messy middle! One of BWC’s values is imperfection and another Is authenticity.

Having those as beacons leading your company keeps things far more alive and relatable.

With that said, I am in the messy middle of branding and it’s fairly hilarious. 😂 I have so many versions of logos and labels thrown on various surfaces but hey, I’ve never done this!

So in this mix are twinkles of brilliance to come, sprinkled in and I’m just starting to see the vision.

That said, now is a good time to order a gratitude roller because I’m throwing in one of these little gold sprayers of Gratitude spray perfume. We haven’t released it yet due to branding but we did a little trial run and they sold out.

This week, I’m also sending out our Ojai Gratitude ritual book we’ve lovingly created to sit with your bottle of Gratitude and help you remember how to do your gratitude rituals.

And yes, we did repurpose the Butter yellow sweater for our backdrop 😉

Little moments of brilliance during the messy middle are some of the best glimmers!! Happy Wednesday 💛

The Case of the Stolen Hearts 👀You stole our hearts!! and we actually love you for it!! All of our products were opened, smelled, touched and sampled at Rainbow Bridge. In a world so many items sit dusty and unused, we are honored that ours haven’t just sat there looking pretty 😍…We wanted to seal our tins and jars but we are as plastic-free as we can be!!! So I’ve been working on a solution And for now, this is it… it’s a cool seal made out of paper. Getting ready to restock and we will have samples🥰 so just ask! If you’ve been to our markets you know I love me some samples!! 💛Stay Wyld Ojai!!

We "kind of" fit into the Ojai's Best Of poll for a change!! :-P I think we could be #81 Best one-of-a-kind business cause we certainly are!! If you have a moment, we will shamelessly ask for you to vote here, you'll see the poll on the right. for #81 if you believe (click your heels together), then put Be Wyld Child (with a Y!!) in slot 81 and thanks for the consideration!!
