Soil 2 Soul Herbz

11/13/2025

After fighting with algorithms and connection errors, sometimes the best reset button is found in a cup of tea. 👩🏽‍💻☕

My house blend is a little bit of everything that soothes the soul.

Lemon balm, tulsi, chamomile, lemon thyme, passionflower, chaga, reishi, and a mix of mints... Including the star of this season, strawberry mint!!! 🍓🌿 So damn good in tea.

Each sip is a reminder to pause... Literally, you can't enjoy tea in a rush.

To breathe. 🌬️ Inhale, hold, exhale. Repeat Ray....

To go Smoke about it 🌬️💨🌿😅

And come back home to myself. 🧘🏽‍♀️

Cause ya was getting frustrated. 🙃 This s**t is fer the birds 🙄

But no matter what chaos the digital world brings, nature always has a way to bring me back into rhythm.
..and lets face it, herbz don't work if you don't take them. 🤷🏽‍♀️💁🏽‍♀️

Here’s to calmness, no broken lap tops😅, and tech problems that can wait until after tea. ☕💫

✨ From Completion to Creation ✨

We’re wrapping up a Number 9 year my Botanical Babes and my Funky Funguys!

9 is the energy of completion, closure, and transformation. 🧘🏽‍♀️✨️

This is the season where the Universe whispers: “It’s time to let go.” ✨️

And if you’ve been feeling it heavy lately… trust ya , it’s not just you. 😮‍💨

Mercury Retrograde is here too, 🙄 stirring reflection, revisiting old conversations, (some a yall be texting that ex or that old sneaky link) and reminding us to slow down and re-align. 🪞

This cosmic combo is asking us to pause and really look at what’s ready to be released before stepping into 2026 ...

✨️A Number 1 year ✨️

The energy of new beginnings, rebirth, and fresh seeds. 🌱

Before the new cycle starts, take time to reflect:

🌱 What have you outgrown this year?

🤔 What old habits, fears, or relationships need closing?

💪🏾 What lessons did this year reveal about your strength and growth?

🧘🏽‍♀️ And what are you ready to call in as you step into this next season of life?

Mercury Retrograde invites us to revisit and re-align, while the 9 year asks us to release, let go and end them old out dated conversations with have with ourselves. And to wrap up any lose ends, projects, deals. Whatever needs to be COMPLETED, get that s**t done. You can't have one foot in and one foot out.

👏🏽Finish👏🏽 the👏🏽 job👏🏽 babes. 👏🏽

Together, they’re clearing space for something beautiful, something brand new.

When you feel ready, write down what you’re releasing then burn it, bury it, or let the wind carry it away. 🌬💨

Affirm yourself sis. 💪🏾

✨ I release what’s complete.
✨ I trust what’s unfolding.
✨ I welcome what’s next with an open heart.

Let this be your reminder Soil Tribe, not all endings are loss. ✨️

Some are simply the soil being tilled for your next bloom. 🌸

With Love, Light & Herbz 🌿

Elderberry Immunity Syrup ✨️

Listen… when cold and flu season rolls around, we don’t play, we prepare! This syrup is my GO TO seasonal shield: rich, sweet, and packed with some of Mother Nature’s realest healers.

Every drop is a hug for your immune system and a reminder that wellness can taste so good.

Let's break it down, like osteopurosis 🤣

🍇 Elderberry — The star of the show! This juicy berry’s loaded with antioxidants and Vitamin C to keep those sniffles at bay and help your body bounce back faster.

🌸 Echinacea — The warrior herb. It rallies your white blood cells and tells your immune system, “Wake up, boo, we got work to do!” Perfect for kicking bugs to the curb before they settle in.

🍄 Reishi — The ancient healer. Calms the mind, strengthens the immune system, and helps you stay grounded even when life’s wild.

🌲 Chaga — The forest’s secret weapon. Deep, earthy, and full of antioxidants that protect your cells and boost long-term vitality.

🌿 Holy Basil (Tulsi) — Your sacred calm in syrup form. Balances stress, clears the lungs, and brings peace to the body and spirit.

🌰 Ginger & Cinnamon — The spicy duo! Warming, antimicrobial, and straight up cozy,
they get that circulation going and melt away the chill.

🍯 Raw Honey — Sweet, soothing, and antibacterial. It ties everything together with golden love and helps calm sore throats naturally.

✨ Together, they create a potion that’s powerful and delicious, immune-boosting, soul-soothing, and full of that earthy magic that reminds you healing can be holistic and joyful. -Naturally 🌿

You can eat the healthiest foods, do all the work outs, sip all the herbal teas ...

and still find your body out of balance if your mind and spirit are under stress.

Yup. True story. They weren't lying when they say stress is a killer.

Because emotional stress doesn’t just live in your head, it ripples through your body.

And it affects EVERYTHING.

Chronic worry, fear, or emotional exhaustion can actually weaken the immune system and disrupt digestion, sleep, and hormone balance.

Sometimes, it’s not a virus or bacteria making us sick at all… it’s our own unhealed emotions, stressors and fixations keeping us there.

Our own obsessive thoughts can make us and keep us sick.

The body listens to every thought.

Every thought comes with a feeling.

What we think, we feel...

And what we feel... we often manifest.

But just as we can manifest illness through stress, negativity, stored/suppressed and repressed emotions, we can also manifest wellness through peace, gratitude, perspective changing, observing our thoughts instead of letting them run and real self-care.

✨️Take time to listen to yourself.
✨️To know yourself.
✨️Breathe.
✨️Journal.
✨️Paint
✨️Walk barefoot on the earth.
✨️Touch that grass sis!
✨️Dance like no one is watching! (Movement moves energy afterall)
✨️Sip your herbs with intention.
✨️Slow down. Stop to smell them roses, watch the birds or look at the moon.
✨️Smile and laugh as often as you can.
✨️Manifest good thoughts and feelings.

👏🏽You 👏🏽 Are👏🏽 Your👏🏽 Own 👏🏽 Healer👏🏽

👊🏽YOU👊🏽 hold the power to shift your energy, to calm your nervous system, to choose thoughts that heal instead of harm. ✨️

Yes YOU 👊🏽

It ain't easy, but nothing in life is.

Choose your hard as I say 😉

With Love, Light & Herbz 🌿

You hold so much power in your energy. ✨

You can spend it worrying about what could go wrong…

or you can use it to believe in what’s possible,

to create beauty, to manifest peace, to heal,

to glow, and to grow. 🌿

YOU are the magic AND the medicine. ✨️

Every time you choose faith over fear, you rise higher.

Protect your peace, water your spirit, and let yourself bloom. 🌸

With Love, Light & Herbz 🌿

Medicinal Teas for Clear, Healthy Skin

Our skin tells the story of what’s happening inside, and herbal teas are one of the gentlest, most effective ways to support that story from the inside out.

Your cup is the perfect place to start! ☕️

Here’s how these plant allies work their magic:

🌼 Chamomile – a gentle anti-inflammatory that soothes redness, irritation, and flare-ups.

🌿 Peppermint – helps balance oil production and supports digestion, which often plays a big role in skin health.

🌱 Spearmint – known for its hormone-balancing properties that help reduce acne and promote a clearer complexion.

🍃 Green Tea – rich in antioxidants that protect skin cells and encourage a natural, youthful glow.

🌺 Hibiscus – full of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and vitamin C, helping tone, firm, and brighten dull skin.

🍋 Lemon Balm – a calming nervine that eases stress (and since stress shows up on our skin, it’s a secret glow booster!).

🫚 Ginger – improves circulation, helping nutrients reach the skin’s surface for that radiant, warm flush.

🍂 Rooibos – naturally caffeine-free and rich in zinc and quercetin, known to help with acne and inflammation.

🌼 Dandelion – a powerful liver tonic and gentle detoxifier that helps the body eliminate toxins and clear congested skin.

✨ Sip these as single teas or blend them together for your own botanical beauty brew.
When we nourish our bodies with herbs, our glow comes from the soil to the soul - Naturally 🌱💫
