The algorithm did this the minute I linked my profiles. This goes against what I wanted This goes against all my work 😭 I literally had to pick what I think the algorithm would see as maybe a toxic song to add to this to maybe reduce my reach.

Pinned Post: The Way Forward
I am clarifying the purpose of each of my spaces to ensure my environment remains protected and intentional. I am a botanical artisan and a healer for my environment, and I need you to respect the boundaries of these pages so I can continue my work in peace.
Please follow these instructions to keep our community safe and intentional:
MadApothecary: This is for my holistic work and true intention. If you are here for the apothecary work, engage only on this page.
Crafty Crew Creations: This is for those who enjoy crafting. I enjoy the work on this page, but it is not "me"—it is a space for the craft. If you like the content here, engage only on this page.
Amber Houston: This is the mix of every part of me.
My boundaries for all pages:
Stay in your lane: Each page must stay only on its page. Do not cross-pollinate or flood my notifications.
No unsolicited interaction: Do not tag me or flood my pages with your content. If you have an important matter, send a private message; I will identify it for myself and get back to you.
Respect the silence: I have tested these environments and mapped the danger to autistic, disabled, and low-income individuals. I am not here to teach the "how" of my invisibility; I am here to protect my environment.
If you were paying attention, you know why I am doing this. If you weren't, I am sorry—that is not on me. I am no longer adjusting my morals to fit a world that is comfortable with predatory behavior.
Be smart.

Hi everybody Mad Apothecary here. I am going to be uploading everything that I make onto Mad Apothecary as far as the entire process.

But I need you guys to understand a few things If you're going to replicate it. Only use it on yourself until you can guarantee that you got it right please. Anything gets confusing ask questions.

BIGGEST THING don't flood my algorithm have my algorithm the way I want it. The way I can use it to help people.

So if you are going to be part of my plan. Either do it my way or sit at the table and wait for the rest of us to finish cooking 😉

None of my products will be for sale at any shop or vendor market. I will not be selling my items anymore.

I will still be making them except for my cleaners they're going to be for my house or donation to people that need them.
Now when I say donation to people that need them please understand the donation doesn't last forever. The donation lasts long enough for you to do it yourself.

And I'm sorry I can't donate to just anybody. I wish I could if I get enough people learning how to do this I can. But for now I know I can change even lives though it's limited.

Everything that I make you can make at home without a lot of money.
But that does not guarantee safety. You still have to use all of your senses.You have to be part of the process at all times. If you can't understand it that's absolutely okay I will do it for you then but you have to advocate for yourself and let me know.
Welcome to the Mad Apothecary lifestyle

This page is mainly my daughter's page now but we still want followers here. If any of you that I met during Pride could go follow me over on my other platform also that would be wonderful Thank you.
Remember first do no harm and spread love.
I love everyone..

Hey y’all it’s Kali! I was wondering if anyone would be interested in forever flowers as a Mother’s Day gift to someone special?! Two examples are in the comments!

I absolutely had to make a video showing this off!! It is crazy. My son does definitely eat a lot but not actually way to much but he does certainly love his food and has a large pallet of flavors already built. But on top of loving food he LOVES making a mess. We just let him do his thing he can be cleaned and so can the messes. He’s learning independence but I swear if it wasn’t for his Gigi’s products I’d be screwed😂

Important Update from Crafty Crews Creations! 📢Hi everyone, it’s Amber (aka the Mad Apothecary 😉)! Life threw us a nice curveball, and it’s time to get back in the game.Things will look a little different this year. You won't see me at the markets as much—instead, you’ll be seeing my beautiful daughter Kali and my wonderful husband Aaron! I’ll only be popping up at two or three myself.The main spot we'll be at (and the one I’m most excited about!) is the Bay Area Farmers Market. Why? Because almost everything I use to make my cleaners comes right from that market! 🌿Here’s what I’ll be bringing:
✨ Enzyme cleaners & all-natural vinegar cleaners
✨ All-natural cleaning soap
✨ Cutting board cleaner & conditioner
✨ All-natural bug-off bars & sunburn relief
✨ New! Unique all-natural fire starters (video coming soon!)A Note on Packaging: 🌍
I want to make a positive change in the world. I’ve been volunteering a lot, and I want to show people there’s a better way. Instead of throwing items away, I repurpose them!
Because of this, there won't be any fancy packaging. Most of it will be paper, and I’m working with local recycling agencies for glass jars. I want to teach everyone else how to do this, too! (To quote Boo Mom: "You stink at giving up!" 🤣)What about Kali? 💎
Kali has been showcasing her amazing micro-beading on our page! She’ll be bringing her beadwork and wrap stones to the market. Keep an eye out for a video or post from her tomorrow explaining everything else she’s creating!We can't wait to see you all soon! ❤️

Now for the BEST! When I posted the mini frogs they were a HUGE hit and I love it. I now have tried making an adjustment. I didn’t think they were going to work but omg was I wrong! I’ve gotten attention about these from many people even customers at my job. A simple craft giving so much entertainment and joy!

One two tree! Wire wrapped mini trees are another skill unlocked! I also have started making little mushrooms out of beads to add a little flare! Definitely can say my skills are growing😂

This piece was Slytherin inspired based on customer request! First commissioned piece and I definitely loved making it. Another new still unlocked!
