DIY Infused Oil Recipe in Organic Life Magazine!
So unbelievably stoked for this article that just came out in Organic Life Magazine! The profile also includes a recipe on how to make your own floral-infused botanical hair & body oil so be sure to check it out on my blog! 
One correction worth mentioning: I was finally able to overcome my dependence on western meds for recurrent (and severe) poison ivy that plagued my northeastern youth with the miracle that is Jewelweed {Impatiens capensis}, also known as poison ivy’s antidote. This herb was one of the first to instill my faith in plant medicine when I drank & doused myself in it before harvesting Hawthorne berries from an ivy patch as part of my first herbal apprenticeship. After having poison ivy twice already that summer [both times in my eyes], I was certain I’d be doomed – but alas! Despite my skepticism, the Jewelweed protected me perfectly. Endless thanks to all of my herbal teachers & schools who are mentioned here ~ this lineage is built on the minds & skills of knowledge keepers that pave the way for each new generation of healers 
COCO VANILLA LIP + BODY BAR
Possibly my most moisturizing elixir yet, this bar is the perfect nourishment for your skin on the go. Scented with the light + sweet aroma of Hawaiian vanilla beans infused into raw butters, cold pressed oils and local beeswax, it melts right in & will leave every part of you soft + smooth. Use as a lip balm, face balm, body balm; great as a travel moisture balm, pre- & post-beach or to keep your skin hydrated through the wintertime.
MOCHA ROSE TINT
My classic Mocha Rose Stain is now available in a push-up cardboard eco tube! This version has a more hydrating feel, with a slight rosy tint and the same decadent aroma of Hawaiian cacao + coffee. I am offering these babes as a limited edition item, depending on how much y’all like them. 
For the Forest Dwellers
MIDWOOD MUSK // An aromatic adornment for forest dwellers and mountain folk; a solid scent for those who prefer to smell like the trees above all else. Four of my favorite botanicals dance together in this lovely perfume, which includes the ever-precious essences of Hawaiian grown & distilled Vetiver & Sandalwood essential oils. $18 at >indigoelixirs.com
MORNING PERFUMERY
Morning perfumery, mixing up a blend for a client. Creating custom perfumes is one of my greatest passions in this line of work… Blending is truly an aromatic art, and I believe every perfume should be as unique as the person that it adorns. Processed through an entirely different area of the brain than the rest of our senses, smell has a particular association with our memories – thus giving scents the rare ability to transform us through time & space. I love witnessing reactions to different aromatic materials, and watching olfactory preferences evolve as we grow + change into slightly different versions of ourselves. Thus, the last drops in old vials of perfume can serve as a scented reminder of who and where we were in life when we wore it every day.
If you’re on O’ahu and would like a custom blend, please get in touch for a private in-person perfumery session… Otherwise order here by choosing from any of 30 different essential oils, and I will send a vial encapsulating your one-of-a-kind perfume through the mail!
EVERGREEN DEN
// EVERGREEN DEN //
I recently found myself unexpectedly enraptured by a true Evergreen Den of Hawaii. While camping on the mountainside of Haleakala, Maui’s extinct volcano, we found ourselves immersed in a lush forest of cedar woods, pines & eucalyptus trees ~ the very botanicals of which this elixir is created. The tucked-away den exuded my favorite aromatic aspects of this blend: resinous wood & fresh camphor, cool mountain air & morning dew. While Evergreen Den often leaves me with Northeast & Northwest nostalgia, it was lovely to find such scents hidden away on a Hawaiian island.
All Over Oil is a super versatile hair + body oil, available in 5 blends each featuring a unique essential oil of Hawaii. Available for $12 / $20.
BLUE MOON BALM
|| BLUE MOON BALM ||
A pain-relieving rub for your monthly moon ~ simply massage onto abdomen & low back to relieve cramping. All the herbs in this formula are warming in nature, move the blood to keep things flowing, calm the spirit & alleviate pain: by applying in circular motions, you can actually feel heat being generated on your skin. The center of the balm features a ‘blue moon’ of soothing blue chamomile essential oil. In addition to working womanly wonders, this salve can also alleviate general muscle cramps & pains. Available in a 1 oz tin for $14.
Healing Oils & Herbal Salves Workshop
Learn the art of making botanical infusions & turning them into balms that nourish the skin! I will be teaching a medicine making workshop next Wednesday 2/24 at @downtoearthhi on King Street. Class will be held from 6-8pm / $50 covers all materials, including balms to take home.
Blue Chamomile
// BLUE //
Totally entranced by this beautiful blue chamomile essential oil. I love how botanical extractions can unlock colors + flavors + scents + properties hidden inside of plants, like the blue azulene that is revealed in the distillation of German Chamomile {aka Matricaria recutita}. Certain flowers contain higher amounts of azulene, which is known for its anti-inflammatory & skin healing properties. I am stoked to be currently experimenting with its magic for a new #BlueMoonBalm elixir in the works!
