Floral Serotonin: Grace Rose Farm

I understand what it’s like to have flowers as your passion. Ever since I was a little girl, I had a garden. Learning about each plant’s needs fascinated me and taking care of them made me feel like some kind of mystical nature spirit. I guess that’s why I absolutely melt when anyone gives me truly high quality fresh cut flowers.

 

I was lucky enough to collaborate with the geniuses behind Grace Rose Farm, where roses truly are their passion. In my room sits the proof – a lovely bouquet of two dozen roses in beautiful shades of peach and pink, also known as the Mara Bouquet. I like to think of it as my sweetly floral serotonin, because every time I look at it I smile.



The owners of this business, Gracie and Ryan Poulson, have a story that might as well be considered a love story. Their rose garden, which at 500 bushes was nothing to sneeze at, was built at the first home they shared together in honor of Gracie’s grandma. As gardening projects do, this one grew and grew until it became quite more than just a project at 25,000 rose bushes. Truly, grandma has got to be looking down with a smile on her face.

 

The 50 acre California farmland isn’t just big, either! It has become a massive success! Within a matter of only a few months, florists began contacting Gracie and Ryan. Perhaps that was the sign they needed that the simply had to start up their own business, selling exquisite bouquets to those like me, looking for a little floral serotonin.

 

I would encourage you to look at their website! It is a rare individual who does not want to be greeted with a box of something this beautiful at their doorstep. I’m sure you have someone in need of some fresh roses right now. It might even be yourself!

David Calle & Abigail Kuehl: The Clean Haircare Dynamos Behind ANTIDOTE 1848

If you look around big name beauty retailers like Sephora and Ulta, you will find that something is very hot right now and has been for some time. This change in the beauty industry that doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon? Clean products are in, unnatural junk is out. When you think of clean haircare, you might think of a big name brand like Prose that will cost you your first born, but I encourage you to look at another brand, ANTIDOTE 1848.   Like every great idea, ANTIDOTE 1848 has a story behind it. Its two visionary founders David Calle and Abigail Kuehl bonded over their yearning for change in a world where most hair care products use harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances. Together, their passion and their vision would create the spark needed to create their line of products.   But let’s go back a little bit further.   David Calle came into the picture at ANTIDOTE 1848 with 30 years of experience with consumer products. After being an executive in that business he wan

Skincare Holy Grail Products: The Hydration Station

If one thing is true about the beauty industry and how it relates to you as a person, it’s that it’s never too early to start taking care of your skin. If you start preventing wrinkles in your late 20’s, chances are you won’t have to worry about them until much later. This includes obvious care – things your mother probably told you like stay out of direct sunlight, use sunscreen and drink plenty of water. Later on, though, a solid skincare regimen is sometimes needed. I’m going to share with you the three Holy Grail products that have earned a spot in my skincare cabinet forever that keep my skin smooth, even, hydrated and wrinkle-free.   OYU Cosmetics’ Unscented Youth Elixir This is a recent find and I am very glad that it is now in my cabinet. I first got it as a free sample, but it is definitely something I could see myself buying regularly. It is made of mostly natural oils and ingredients and doesn’t clog the pores. The Abyssian oil is there to reduce any traces of wrinkles you m

Your thoughts are so distorted when you’re depressed. I know this from personal experience. I am going through a depression right now. I am losing weight. Sometimes I don’t take care of myself as well as I should. This all came to pass after I was forced to be taken off of a medication. This particular medication can cost upwards of $1500 per month for my parents (as I am simply too broke to pay for my own medication) and we needed to try stopping it because money was tight. Life is not pleasant while off of that medication. Generic replacements aggravate my parkinsonism horribly and don’t even work that well. We had to make it work with the expensive medication. I don’t know how. I don’t ask.   But now, just as in December of 2021, my depression is back. Did it ever go away? I have been mildly depressed all this time, but it has been manageable. As of February 2023 it has been raging like an unbearably cold snowstorm, muddying up my memory and my ability to think straight.   If there
