🐝 A Little Morning Magic at Bare Root Apothecary 🌿💜

Sometimes the smallest moments are the ones that remind me exactly why I do what I do.

This morning, I caught this busy little honeybee working her way through the lavender growing outside the apothecary. Just a tiny creature going about her day, completely unaware of how much beauty she brings to mine.

There’s something pretty incredible about watching nature do what it was designed to do. No rush, no expectations, no unnecessary complications. Just a bee, a flower, and a beautiful little relationship that’s existed for millions of years.

It’s these simple moments that remind me why I believe so deeply in returning to the roots. Slowing down, paying attention, and remembering that we are part of this incredible natural world, not separate from it.

The magic isn’t always hidden deep in the forest. Sometimes it’s buzzing around the lavender right outside your front door. 💜

Happy Friday from our little corner of the wild.

🍂 RATHDRUM… HAVE YOU DISCOVERED OUR LITTLE FOREST APOTHECARY YET?! 🌿🐍

If you haven’t wandered through our doors yet, you’re missing out on one of the most unique little shops around!

We’re not your typical wellness store. We’re a little wild, a little unconventional, and deeply rooted in the belief that nature has some pretty incredible things to offer.

Shelves full of herbs, handcrafted remedies, tinctures, botanical body care, functional mushrooms, and delicious herbal drinks… and that’s just the beginning!

Come in curious. Ask questions. Smell the herbs. Explore something new. You don’t have to know a thing about herbalism to feel right at home here.

And with autumn settling in, our little forest is feeling extra magical. 🍁

We’re also getting ready for our Rooted in Autumn celebration on October 17th, and I’d love for you to come see what we’re all about before the festivities begin!

Autumn is calling. 🍂

The air is changing.
The leaves are turning.
The roots are digging deeper.

And maybe we are, too.

This season has always felt like an invitation to slow down, gather close, nourish ourselves and return to the things that have carried us for generations.

Herbs. Roots. Mushrooms. Warm drinks. Elderberry. Plant medicine. Community.

Bare Root is changing with the season, too. New things are arriving, new offerings are taking root, and our little Apothecary & Wellness Center continues to grow into something truly special.

And we’re getting ready for Rooted in Autumn 🍁🌿 — a celebration of the season, our community, and everything that makes this time of year feel a little magical.

So tomorrow, come wander in.

Smell the herbs.
Ask questions.
Find something you’ve never tried.
Grab something warm.
Stay awhile.

And while you’re here, ask us about Rooted in Autumn and what we have planned. 🍂

Come see what’s taking root at Bare Root.

Alright my local people… I need a sign/vinyl wizard. 🌿🐍

The new Bare Root Apothecary & Wellness Center roadside sign is ready to come to life, and I need somebody local who can wrap a double-sided sign for me.

I’m looking for someone who does beautiful, clean work, can turn it around fairly quickly, and isn’t going to require me to sell an organ, my firstborn, or half the apothecary to pay for it. 😂

The artwork is already done. I just need somebody who knows their stuff when it comes to printing and applying vinyl and will make this thing look GOOD.

I’m a huge believer in supporting local people and small businesses whenever I can, so before I start calling the bigger sign companies, I figured I’d ask my people first.

Who’s your person? Tag them below or send them my way. 👇

Whew… what a WEEK. 😮‍💨🌿

Long days in the apothecary followed by long nights at home because apparently I’ve decided sleep is optional. 😂

No rest for the wicked, right?

This week has been a blur of processing chanterelles, making what feels like GALLONS of elderberry syrup, starting fresh herbal extractions, and beginning a new warming Elderberry Brandy Elixir with honey that I am ridiculously excited about.

And tonight?

Irish Sea Moss.

Because obviously the reasonable thing to do after working all damn day is come home and start another project. 😂

My hands smell like herbs. There are jars on every available surface. My kitchen looks like an apothecary exploded in it. I’m running on caffeine, plant fumes, stubbornness, and whatever little bit of energy I’ve got left.

Exhausted? Absolutely.

Slightly feral? Always.

Would I trade it?

Not a chance.

There’s something about this work that keeps pulling me back in. Gather. Process. Chop. Steep. Stir. Strain. Bottle. Repeat.

These plants don’t care what time it is. 😂 And when there’s medicine to be made, there’s medicine to be made.

Somewhere in the middle of the chaos, I catch myself looking around at all these jars, roots, berries, mushrooms and herbs and think…

Damn. I get to do this.

I get to spend my days surrounded by plants. I get to keep learning an old way of doing things with my own two hands. I get to build this weird, wild little forest apothecary that once existed only in my head.

So yeah… I’m tired.

Bone tired, actually. 😂

But I’m also wildly grateful, deeply fulfilled, completely in my element, and incredibly blessed.

I’ll sleep when I’m dead.

Until then… there are herbs to process. 🌿

Well… this one got me. 🥹🌿

Yesterday, one of the women I’ve been working with picked up her personalized protocol and herbal compounds.

Today, she walked through my door carrying flowers and a card.

But the flowers weren’t the first thing I noticed.

It was the way she was walking.

I’m used to seeing her move slowly because her feet have been giving her trouble. Today, she came in quickly.

When I asked if she was staying, she said no—her feet were feeling better, so she was going to go use them.

And THAT got me. 🥹❤️

She had just started her protocol, so we still have a journey ahead. But seeing that little change and hearing the excitement in her voice meant so much.

Then she handed me flowers and a card that said:

“It’s pretty obvious that you are magical!”

😭❤️🌿

I don’t know if people realize how much these little things mean to me.

The reviews. The messages. The cards. The flowers. The encouragement.

Behind Bare Root, I’m still just one woman—an herbalist, business owner, wife, and mom. Some mornings, after long days, I have to find the energy to get up and do it all again.

These are the moments I think about then.

The people who trust me. The kind words. The little reminders that this work matters.

I never want these moments to become ordinary. It’s a privilege to be a small part of someone’s journey.

So today, I’m feeling grateful.

For her.
For the flowers.
For the sweet card.
For everyone who has encouraged me along the way.

You may not realize how much it means, but I remember. 🌿❤️

And on the tired days, it helps me keep going.

Well… this stopped me in my tracks tonight. 😳🌿

I found photos of my first Bare Root Apothecary in Coeur d’Alene—the before, the after, and everything we created there.

Then I found photos of the building that is now home to my little forest apothecary in Rathdrum…

from only FIVE MONTHS AGO.

And damn.

I realized I wasn’t just looking at the evolution of Bare Root.

I was looking at the evolution of me.

Our Coeur d’Alene apothecary was actually much bigger. We downsized when we moved to Rathdrum.

Less square footage… but somehow more of everything that matters.

More community. More connection. More purpose. More love.

And maybe most importantly…

more me.

The woman who opened that first apothecary and the woman standing behind the counter today are the same woman.

I just know her better now.

I used to wonder what an herbalist was supposed to look like. What an apothecary was supposed to be. How much of me I should put into it.

Eventually, I stopped asking.

And somewhere along the way, I stopped trying to make myself fit, too.

The wild woman came forward.

The bow hunter. The forager. The plant nerd. The woman who loves bones and antlers, snakes and poisonous plants, mushrooms, roots, muddy boots and wild places.

The Outlaw Herbalist.

She isn’t new.

She’s always been here.

I’ve just become a hell of a lot more comfortable letting her take up space.

And Bare Root evolved right alongside me.

Five months ago, this was an empty building.

Today it’s herbs hanging overhead, jars lining the shelves, warm amber light, wood, plants, bones, antlers, roots, mushrooms and a snake winding through the tree.

My little forest.

It’s smaller than where we came from, but somehow everything around it has grown bigger.

Including me.

Maybe evolution isn’t about becoming someone new.

Maybe it’s about becoming more unmistakably yourself.

Still wild.
Still learning.
Still a little outlaw.
Still completely me.

And apparently, when this wild woman finally gave herself enough room to grow…

she grew herself a whole forest. 🌿🐍
