LPO has several teas that have rose in them. Love Tea, Happy Tea, Pink Rose Tea, Red Rose Tea, and Beauty Tea. You can learn more about our teas in our online shop at the button on website.

The elements within rose petals helps to protect our cells from damage, help our bodies burn extra calories, and keeps our food cravings at bay. It can also help with pain and the joint stiffness associated with arthritis. There are many many benefits that would be encouraging for us to always have a stash of roses on the herb shelf. I hope you will enjoy our herb teas.

Much Love,

Libby

I have grown fond of Dahlias. We grew some as an homage last year among all our sunflowers and herbs to the Pescadero Flowery who inhabited the space we now garden in. They made everything look so easy, fun and beautiful. This year we have double the number of dahlias: Nature shows us her abundance~ and today a woman came by with dinnerplate dahlias as an offering for the garden. Of course I am excited to plant these as we did not have any last year.  We are looking forward to another stellar year in the garden.

Spent some of what was supposed to be a rain day today organizing, watering, and getting our shops ready for the weekend ahead. Stop by we are open every day from 11am till 4pm for your perusal. We have some healthy succulents now in the nursery and soon will have starts of flowers for you, by spring equinox.

Are you getting excited about your garden too? What are you planting?

New Batch of Detox Tea has been reconfigured to be a super light alchemical solution to our prevention of viruses and bacterial infections. So, the formula features the mullein and red clover and ashwaghanda prominently to help flush and keep throat happy.

I brew a french press (32 oz) each eve, and do a pour over a cut lemon and a blood orange which has more vit c than other oranges. I sip sip sip on the hot blend all through the eve, and place the rest in the fridge for the next morning chilled. Delish!

Try it please, it's so beautiful.

Today in the garden we will be transplanting some of our newest seedlings into larger homes. :) This time of the year is always so fun to watch instagram of our farmer friends to see how much work it takes to make our organic food. In particular I watch for best practices and the way that people we know pour so much love + passion into creating our food systems so that we are guaranteed to eat healthy. I support our local Pescadero Farmer Market which is slated to begin sometime in June this year. Small, intimate: it brings the community together with a weekly selection of the best grass fed meats, vegetables, fruits and flowers. Simplify, focus, plan on being here, and surround yourself with healhy choices. #MondayMotivation.

We fed a lot of people with the addition of tomatoes, cucumbers, and more last year. This year we hope to do the same again. Big thanks to everyone who is supportive of our endeavors and your own local farmer communities.

We grow herbs and flowers for our perfumes and herbal teas mostly in our Perfume Camp Scent Garden. When you shop with us you are supporting many farmers who we buy from of botanicals that may be too exotic for us to grow here. Thanks again. The Amazing Tea pictured below is a good one to combat a head cold before you get one, as a preventive measure. It is made from native yarrow, mints and hyssop that we grow in our garden.

Plan to come make the most of springtime in Pescadero.

We have a target date for Spring Equinox for our Succulent and Herbal Nursery to be fully open. At the moment it is under construction behind the shops in Pescadero. It is starting to take shape little by little. The flower bouquet stand will be located here also this year for Dahlia Bouquets and More. So excited to be able to offer this here. Our nursery moved from Davenport in December, and we will have lots of plant starts that echo Perfume Camp herbs, flowers and more. xo Looking forward to this new chapter for our space in Pescadero~!

Stay tuned. There are some succulents now and more coming soon. Our Dahlia Bouquets will be in summer.

 I like to freshen up my skin on a Friday Night before the weekend with a mask followed by a facial serum. I use two white facial towels. One for the mask to remove it and one to wash before the moisturizing serum. First I make a french press of Hibiscus Tea. Sip Sip before my beauty ritual, saving some for a toner later on. This tea contains zinc and vit c that is good for our skin. Also helps relieve anxiety and depression, anti inflammatory and antioxidant can effectively treat acne, scars, sunburns, eczema and skin allergies. There are beneficial effects on oxidative stress and helps skin cells. Sip Sip, slowly. Refrigerate any tea you do not use for morning beverage.

Tonight I worked with a charcoal mask. I dipped my wet finger into the charcoal mask and applied it carefully all over my face, carefully avoiding my eyes. I let it sit gently before i removed, a few minutes. I used the first towel to remove by wetting towel with cold water, and gently removing.

Next I used my organic unscented facial wash to thoroughly wash my whole face, and then towel off the soap. Then I tone with some of the hibiscus tea on a corner of the tea towel, before I start to moisturize. I use about 4 pumps of my Angel Glow Serum and drench my face, neck, decollatege with serum, and let it sink in. I rest while it works itself into my skin.

Simple. Regenerative. Works quickly to feel so good. Charcoal helps to absorb bacteria, dirt, and other micro-particles on the surface of the skin. It can also be used topically for a spider bite to help eliminate the poison beneath the skin. (do not use on broken skin). Angel Glow Serum is a Facial Beauty Product that is so good for anti aging, and smooth, deeply penetrating moisture that lasts.

I hope that you will enjoy this regime soon.

Our parfums can be utilized in a beautiful meditation for the planet, as well as our inner being. Spray above your crown chakra (above your head) and allow the scent to rain down around you. While this happens, imagine the above image, so you are inhaling the scent down through your core temple and then recirculating the quantum energies around and back up and in again. Enjoy.
