Feeling a little under the weather today, so I’m making one of my favorite herbal teas. 🍵🌿

Recipe (32 oz / 4 cups water)

Ingredients

* 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, thinly sliced
* 1 Tbsp dried elderberries
* 1 Tbsp echinacea herb
* 1 tsp cinnamon chips
* 1 Tbsp lemon thyme
* 1–2 Tbsp marshmallow leaf
* 32 oz (4 cups) water

Directions

1. Add the ginger, elderberries, echinacea, and cinnamon chips to a pot with 32 oz water.
2. Bring to a gentle simmer and simmer covered for 20–30 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and add the lemon thyme and marshmallow leaf.
4. Cover and steep for 15–30 minutes.
5. Strain and enjoy. Add honey if desired.

Storage

Store any leftover tea in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2–3 days. Reheat only the amount you’d like to drink rather than reheating the entire batch.

How I Use It

When I’m feeling run down or feel a cold coming on, I’ll usually sip on 3–4 cups throughout the day, listening to my body and making sure I’m staying hydrated and getting plenty of rest.

If you’re an elderberry lover like I am, don’t forget to check out our At-Home Elderberry Syrup Kit, available in our Etsy shop. It’s an easy way to keep elderberry syrup on hand whenever you need it. 🍯🌿

☀️ Why I Created Sunshine Daydream

I created Sunshine Daydream because I wanted a simple mineral sun stick made with ingredients I feel good about putting on my skin.

Instead of chemical sunscreen filters, Sunshine Daydream uses non-nano zinc oxide, a mineral that helps provide broad-spectrum sun protection.

But I didn’t want it to stop there. I also wanted something that would nourish my skin while I was outdoors.

That’s why I paired zinc oxide with organic oils and rich botanical butters that help hydrate, moisturize, and support healthy-looking skin.

I use it as part of my daily skincare routine and love that it wears beautifully under makeup while helping keep my skin soft and moisturized throughout the day.

☀️ Non-nano zinc oxide

🌿 Organic oils & botanical butters

💧 Hydrates and nourishes skin

✨ Beautiful under makeup

☀️ Use anywhere your skin sees the sun

From everyday errands to gardening, beach days, and outdoor adventures, Sunshine Daydream is one of my favorite summer essentials.

Bug Bar is handcrafted with peppermint and spearmint-infused jojoba oil, beeswax, shea butter, and a blend of botanical essential oils including citronella, lemongrass, cedarwood, peppermint, and tea tree.

Unlike many traditional bug sprays, Bug Bar is made without harsh synthetic bug spray ingredients and is designed to glide smoothly onto the skin.

🌿 Meet Glow Up

I originally created Glow Up as a gentle botanical face polish, but after working with the final formula, I realized it shines as both a polish and a mask.

Crafted with calendula, chamomile, hibiscus, and honey powder, this creamy botanical blend helps exfoliate, nourish, and revive dull-looking skin.

🌼 Calendula has long been cherished for its soothing and skin-loving properties.

🌿 Chamomile helps calm and comfort the skin while supporting a balanced complexion.

🌺 Hibiscus, often called the “botox plant,” is naturally rich in antioxidants and gentle fruit acids that help promote a fresh, radiant appearance.

🍯 Honey powder is known for its ability to attract moisture to the skin and has naturally occurring properties that have traditionally been valued for helping keep skin clean and balanced.

✨ Use as a gentle exfoliating polish to buff away dullness.

✨ Or leave on for 5–10 minutes as a glow-enhancing mask for a nourishing botanical treatment.

Because glowing skin isn’t just about exfoliation—it’s about giving your skin the nourishment it needs to thrive.
