I have been feeling the ups and downs of my second pregnancy and its stark contrasts with my first: this time I have a toddler to care for unlike my first pregnancy when it was just me, my hubby, cat and pups!

Controlling the mood swings and keeping a level head are difficult when a big part of every toddler’s job is testing boundaries and mama’s patience.  With the hormones fluctuating and my body changing so much, I have needed Sepia in the 200c potency.  It has been helping me immensely.

But the thing with homeopathy is that you have to take your remedies three times a day religiously to really reap the benefits.  I feel that’s why a lot of people write the remedies off– because they don’t take the right remedy often enough so the remedy they take “doesn’t work.”  It does work, it just has to be carefully selected, which is why I have done so much training, and it has to be taken regularly, which is why I have so much respect for the remedies and they are such a big part of my life.  Otherwise, I forget to take them often enough and I am not reaping the benefits.

Since I order my remedies in large quantities, I have begun to repackage them into smaller personal bottles.  I keep one set of the remedies I am taking regularly in my bathroom and one in my purse.  This way I can take them as needed-3 times a day or more, depending on how I’m feeling that day.

Check back soon: Sepia 200c in a 1oz bottle will be available for purchase in my Esty shop.

Here is a lovely article I came across about the “Wise Woman” of homeopathy, the remedy of the cuttlefish ink, also known as Sepia and its immense benefits for all women.  I certainly have been feeling them.  I hope you enjoy!  Xoxo

Vitality Magazine: Sepia- Homeopathy’s Wise Woman

I’m a beauty product junkie. I like to try different stuff all the time. I’m really into my regimen right now and I’m happy to say it’s an affordable one! My most important qualification for all products I put on my body is that they have natural ingredients that are not only safe for me, but my whole family.

Item #1 on this list is the BEST deodorant I’ve ever used!!

Native Deoderant

Made in San Francisco

Natural facial care products:

Acure Moroccan Red Clay Facial Scrub, Facial Toner, Sensitive Facial Cream, Night Cream (not pictured) & Mad Hippie Eye Cream (not pictured)

My favorite oral care items:

Preserve Tooth Brush, Jason Sea Freah Toothpaste & Dr. Bronner’s Organic Lip Balm

And a few of my favorite natural first aid remedies in the medicine cabinet

Boiron Calendula Gel, Tea Tree Antiseptic Solution, Boiron Arnica Gel (not pictured) & my very own House Made Magnesium Spray (recipe Here).

I started learning about homeopathy when my daughter was born to find out what was in her teething tablets and understand better how they worked. What unfolded was an entire world of remedies that can help everything from sugar cravings and anxiety to bee stings and sunburns. Once I began courses in homeopathy, I was led to another form of homeopathic remedies, the Bach flower essences, remedies that work by bringing mental and emotional imbalances such as anger, impatience and grief to more centered states of being to facilitate true healing.  

I was especially thrilled to learn the Bach flowers as they are the very essences that had helped me battle anxiety and hives as a young child. I vividly remember my stepdad bringing home a little brown bottle with a yellow label on it, called Rescue Remedy, and finding such relief after just the first dose taken under my tongue. They became my magic drops, something that I kept with me wherever I went to help me feel better, more calm and at ease. The Bach flower essences work effectively and efficiently, especially with children who are so open to healing, and just like homeopathy they are safe and all natural.  

That is why I developed Mellow Mama, my signature formula of five Bach flower essences to support peace of mind. So that every mom can have her own magic bottle to carry around with her in her purse/diaper bag/backpack. The flower essences in Mellow Mama are meant to be used throughout the day and as needed to help stay balanced, focused and at ease during the beautiful chaos that is motherhood. Because let’s face it, it isn’t easy raising tiny humans! 

It is my goal to help other mothers just like me with children just like my daughter find gentle relief. To find true healing on a deeper level. In eastern medicine doctors treat the mother in order to treat the child, so if we start with ourselves, and care for ourselves, we will be that much better fit to care for our children.

In love and healing,

I’ve always been a big fan of layering so it’s no surprise I like to layer my daughter as well. When she was born I wasn’t really sure how to dress her. My mom told me that it’s best to put babies in a tshirt (onesie) and then put their clothes on top, like tshirt and leggings or a dress. I found that I liked this style of dressing my daughter because if she got cold or hot or needed a change of clothes along with her diaper change I would usually only have to change her undershirt and not her while outfit, plus I could easily take off or add on the layers. 

The problem was, the typical undershirts (onesies) I found were short sleeve and would get bunched up under her clothes. Long sleeve onesies were always great for warm weather but I found an even better solution for layering that I wanted to share: the camisole onesie! Because they don’t get bunched up, they’re easy to use as a first layer and they’re so comfortable for my daughter. 

The best part is, the ones that we love are made of soft organic cotton and come in three colors: soft pink, gray and white. They’re made by Burt’s Bees. You can find the camisole onesies here and the camisole tshirt here!
