I’ve been making my own dry shampoo for over 10 years now, and it’s one of those little things that’s just worked — simple, cheap, and no weird fumes involved. 🌿

Most store-bought dry shampoos have ingredients like butane, isobutane, propane, and “fragrance” (whatever that means), and I just never felt great about breathing that in. So I started making my own — and haven’t looked back since.

Here’s what I use:

✨ For light hair:
½ cup cornstarch
½ cup baking soda

✨ For dark hair (my favorite):
½ cup baking soda
½ cup cocoa powder

I store it in a shaker bottle (old spice jars work great) and just sprinkle a little on the roots when needed. It blends right in, brushes out easy, and even smells a little like chocolate cake if you use the dark version.

I use the cocoa one most days, but I keep the light one around too — especially for my teen girls who occasionally “forget” it’s hair wash day. 😅

It’s a simple swap, but honestly, it’s made my life easier and cleaner in the best way. If you’ve never tried homemade dry shampoo, this might be the sign to give it a go. 💚

One of the unexpected joys of running this little business?
Getting to talk garden shop with so many of you. 🌿💬

Sometimes you’re emailing me about an order, and the next thing I know we’re deep in conversation about tomato blight, fall planting plans, or whether this is the year we finally build that greenhouse (you know who you are 😉).

I genuinely love it. It’s like chatting with a pen pal who also hoards seed catalogs and worries about cabbage worms. You get me. And those conversations — even the quick ones — remind me why I do what I do.

So thank you. For being kind, for being growers, and for making this job full of dirt, joy, and really great company.

If you’ve never used preserved lemons in your cooking, you’re missing out on one of the easiest ways to add a burst of salty-sunny flavor to just about anything. 🌞🍋

All you need to make them is:

Lemons, salt, time... and a little shaking.

👉 Quarter your lemons (but not all the way through), pack them with salt, and press them tightly into a clean jar.

Add more lemon juice to cover if needed.

Seal, shake daily for a week, then let them ferment at room temp for 3–4 weeks. That’s it!

Once they’re soft and fragrant, use them in:

🐟 Lemon + Herb Grilled Fish – Chop and mix with garlic, parsley, and olive oil.

🥗 Moroccan Chickpea Salad – Stir into couscous or quinoa with herbs and veggies.

🍗 Preserved Lemon Roast Chicken – Rub under the skin before roasting.

🍲 Lemony Lentil Soup – Stir a spoonful into the pot at the end.

🍝 Lemon + Olive Pasta – Mix with green olives, parsley, and chili flakes.

🥘 Moroccan Tagine – A classic! Use with lamb or chicken, dried fruit, and spices.

🍳 Eggs with a Twist – Dice and sprinkle on scrambled or poached eggs.

🫒 Lemon Tapenade – Blend with olives, capers, and a little garlic.

🥪 Elevated Tuna Salad – Mix into mayo-based tuna with herbs.

🧄 Garlic-Lemon Yogurt Sauce – Blend into yogurt for a tangy drizzle over veggies or meats.

Preserved lemons are like little jars of sunshine in the pantry — and once you try them, you’ll never want to be without a batch.

There’s something about being around plants that just quiets the noise.

Whether I’m watering seedlings in the early morning or walking past the herbs growing by the kitchen door, I feel it — peace. 🌿

Plants don’t rush. They grow slow, steady, and with purpose. And somehow, they invite us to do the same. Growing things has become more than a hobby for me... it’s therapy, it’s rhythm, it’s calm in a busy world.

If you’re ever feeling overwhelmed — go tend to something green. It’s amazing what a little time with the plants can do for your soul.

I’m a homesteading entrepreneur rooted in Zone 9, where I grow everything from heirloom herbs to seasonal vegetables that feed my family and fuel my business. I believe in clean living from the ground up — literally — and I’m passionate about creating simple, beautiful, functional products that support a healthier home and lifestyle.

With a thriving e-commerce gardening supply company already blooming, I’m now expanding into handcrafted, natural goods: clean skincare, healthy household cleaners, herbal remedies, and shelf-stable foods — all made with ingredients I grow myself or source with care. My goal? To help other families live more intentionally, with products that are safe, effective, and grounded in tradition.

At home, I plan nourishing meals around what’s growing in the garden — always kid-approved, from sourdough waffles to homemade lunch snacks. I bake bread in a machine, ferment with joy, and believe pizza night and Sunday banana bread deserve a place on every calendar.

I’m also designing spaces that inspire — from a moody, bookish living room to a CrossFit-style home gym where teens and adults can build strength and confidence. I’m here to grow good things.

When I first started gardening, my husband’s grandmother, Grandma Etia, gave me a piece of advice I’ve never forgotten:
“Put out water bowls near your fruit and tomatoes — the birds aren’t being pests, they’re just thirsty.” 💧🍅

And you know what? She was absolutely right. Ever since I started putting out water, I’ve had way fewer nibbles on my produce. These days, instead of buckets, I use birdbaths — lots of them! But instead of spending a fortune, I make my own with simple molds and a bit of creativity. It’s one of my favorite little projects.

So if the birds are stealing your tomatoes — give them a drink. Sometimes a simple solution makes all the difference. Thanks, Grandma Etia. 💚

Feeling extra grateful today 💚

As a small business owner, there's nothing better than hearing how much people love the products we've poured our hearts into. This review made my day — not just because they love our seed starting trays (which really are the best!), but because it reminds me how fun and rewarding this work is. I get to help people grow real food, right from the start — and that never gets old. 🌱

Thank you to every single person who supports small, believes in quality, and shares kind words like this. You’re the reason I get to do what I love.
