Hyperpigmentation isn’t just a surface issue it is a reflection of what’s happening inside your body. When your liver is overworked, your hormones are imbalanced, or inflammation is left unchecked, your skin will often show it through uneven tone, dark patches, or scars that just won’t fade.

Herbal skincare works differently. Instead of stripping your skin barrier, it rebalances it. Plants like turmeric, manjistha, licorice, papaya, and bearberry don’t just fade marks, they nourish, detoxify, and restore your natural glow from within. These herbs contain compounds that regulate melanin production, soothe inflammation, and encourage healthy cell renewal without harsh chemicals.

The process takes patience, but it’s powerful. When you pair internal support like liver-cleansing teas or antioxidant-rich herbs with topical care like hydrating gels, herbal toners, and enzyme masks, you’re not just treating symptoms you’re retraining your skin to heal the right way.

Remember: consistency heals faster than any “miracle” product. Protect your skin from the sun, nourish your liver, stay hydrated, and let herbs work in their own time. That’s how you achieve lasting clarity not by bleaching, but by bringing your skin back to balance.

Nature always works in layers. Heal the root, and the surface will follow.

We made a quick run to The Place Next Door in Vernon, New Jersey, to grab some raw local honey from

The place was so quaint tucked away but full of heart. Shelves lined with small-batch treasures from other local makers, the kind of space that reminds you community still matters. You can feel the love in every jar, every label, every story told through the products on display.

As someone who builds Herbs of Her with that same devotion, it’s moments like these that remind me why I do what I do. Our blends are created using organic, wildcrafted, and locally sourced ingredients because the source matters. From the soil to the shelf, everything we make honors the land, the plants, and the people who care for them.

And here’s a little fun fact for my fellow honey lovers. Not all honey looks the same, and that’s a good thing. The color and flavor of honey depend on the flowers the bees visit. Lighter honey often comes from clover or wildflowers and tends to have a delicate, floral sweetness, while darker honey from sources like buckwheat or wildwood has a deeper, richer flavor and more minerals. Every hue tells a story of the season and the blossoms that shaped it.

So here’s to keeping it local, supporting small creators, and staying connected to the roots that nourish us.

They say you are what you eat, but few realize how literal that truth really is. Nature left us clues in plain sight. Every fruit, root, leaf, and seed carries a visual reminder of the body part it was designed to heal.

• Slice a tomato, and you’ll see chambers like the heart. It strengthens your cardiovascular flow.

• Crack a walnut, and it mirrors the folds of the brain, boosting memory and focus.

• Cut open a carrot, and you’ll find an iris-like pattern protecting the eyes.

• Even the avocado, shaped like a womb, nurtures hormonal balance and fertility.

• And then there’s sweetness, the realm of the pancreas. When our lives lack sweetness, we crave it through food. But nature’s version, the gentle sweetness of pumpkin, sweet potato, cinnamon, and fruit heals rather than harms. They restore energy, balance blood sugar, and feed both the body and spirit.

This is known as the Doctrine of Signatures, an ancient belief that the appearance of a plant reveals its healing purpose. But it goes beyond symbolism. Our ancestors read the language of the land long before science learned to name it. They saw healing in patterns, balance in color, and wisdom in design.

When I worked in the culinary industry, I learned that plates are meant to be colorful for aesthetic reasons because we eat with our eyes first. But outside of my craft, when I stepped into wellness, I discovered something deeper: our plates are meant to be colorful not just for beauty but for balance.

Each color represents a different phytonutrient, a different healing function, and a different message from nature. Hence the saying... “eat the rainbow.” If you can't remember anything from this post, always remember this a vibrant plate isn’t just art, it’s alchemy.

Just like all things in nature, food is a communication. Every bite tells your body how to heal, how to function, and how to feel. When we eat intuitively, we don’t just fill our stomachs. We feed our design, our emotions, and our evolution.

So the next time you look at your plate, remember: Nature didn’t just create food for survival… she created it as a map one that leads us back to wholeness.

The placenta is one of the most extraordinary organs ever created by the human body. It’s the bridge between mother and child providing oxygen, nutrients, and hormones while filtering waste and offering powerful immune protection. Once its job is done, this incredible organ continues to serve a purpose far beyond birth.

In the world of science, placentas are often used in medical research to study maternal health, stem cells, and regenerative healing Researchers have even explored its potential in wound repair, tissue regeneration, treatments for certain autoimmune conditions other things if you know you know.

Many mothers choose to encapsulate their placenta after birth, a process where it’s gently dehydrated, ground into powder, and placed into capsules. The reported benefits include increased energy, faster postpartum recovery, hormone balance, improved mood, enhanced milk production, and even lowering the risk of postpartum depression. While studies are still ongoing, countless mothers describe feeling stronger, more centered, and emotionally stable during the weeks following birth.

Some cultures have long believed that returning the placenta to the earth through burial, planting, or ritual symbolizes gratitude, renewal, and protection for both mother and child. No matter the tradition, it’s a reminder that even after birth, the body holds deep wisdom in every stage of the healing journey.

Your skin is a reflection of everything happening within. When you start treating skincare as nourishment instead of maintenance, everything changes.

Herbal skincare isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about creating balance. When you begin feeding your body minerals, sipping your herbs, and swapping out synthetics for plants, your skin starts whispering thank you in the form of glow, calmness, balance and clarity.

Herbs like nettle, moringa, burdock, and dandelion root rebuild what harsh cleansers strip away. Clove keeps bacteria at bay while lending your skin that natural tightness and radiance. These are living medicines that communicate directly with your cells.

But here’s the truth no one tells you: not all skin issues are the same. General skincare needs are different from hormonal acne, cystic breakouts, or eczema, which demand deeper herbal work that supports the liver, hormones, and gut. So before you throw away everything in your cabinet, slow down. Let your skin and your herbs learn each other.

Consistency, hydration, and intention always win over trends. Your skin doesn’t want overnight results it wants peace, patience, and purity.

Let’s be real for a second… If you’ve ever flipped on the kitchen light at night and saw one of those things sprint across the floor you’re not alone.

It doesn’t mean your home is dirty. It doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong. Sometimes it’s as simple as warmth, moisture, or a stray crumb under the stove, and suddenly, they’ve moved in rent-free.

But here’s the thing: you don’t need to douse your house with chemicals to get rid of them. Nature’s had the answers long before bug spray ever existed.

So grab pen and paper:
• Peppermint oil masks their scent trails.
•Diatomaceous earth dehydrates them to dust.
• Citrus and vinegar throw off their navigation.
• Cucumber slices repel them naturally.
• Even a little soap and water can suffocate them on contact.

These DIY hacks are small acts of taking your home back without breathing in toxins or harming your pets, children, and even yourslef.

I made this series to remind you that natural doesn’t mean weak it means intentional. You’re creating an environment where pests can’t thrive, but your health can.

So the next time you see one, don’t panic. You’re not dirty. You’re human, and you’re learning to handle things differently.

Save this post for when you need a reminder that balance, peace, and a pest-free home start with small, consistent actions.

What started as a mushroom foraging trip turned into something completely different. Instead of fungi, I left with 10 oz of vibrant rosehips and a wee bit of witch hazel in my bag. Nature always has her own plans. Sometimes it’s not about what you intend to find, but what’s meant to cross your path.

Every time I’m in my apothecary blending a new batch of herbs, it feels like coming home. There’s a calm that takes over when I’m measuring, mixing, and watching the colors shift. It reminds me of when I was a chef, only now I’m feeding the soul instead of the plate.

Back then, I worked in a restaurant where the menu changed three times a day, 52 menu items. That experience taught me how powerful ingredients can be. How food and herbs speak the same language when it comes to healing. I took that same love and poured it into Herbs of Her, where everything is crafted with intention, care, passion, and purpose.

Some herbs I grow myself, foraged, others I source from trusted farms and herbalists, and a few come straight from home... Jamaica. That’s where cerasee and bitter melon taught me that the things that taste bitter are often the most healing. Bitter melon supports blood sugar and digestion, and yes, it can be cooked or brewed into tea just like our grandmothers did. Burdock root, another favorite, is amazing for cleansing the liver, purifying the blood, and supporting clear, glowing skin.

This knowledge and passion goes way beyond selling products. It’s about creating something meaningful that helps people heal from the inside out. We don’t chase trends here. We chase truth and restoration.

Real healing takes time, love, dedication, and consistency. But once you start, you’ll feel the difference... mind, body, and spirit.
