Have you heard of "Forest Bathing" before? It's a common practice in Japan, where even doctors have prescribed the act. It's when you go out to the woods, and spend time outdoors, in nature. While a few hours is ideal, even 15 minutes can show results in improvements in your health, memory, lowering your cortisol (stress hormone) and can make a significant difference in depression. 

“The intent of forest bathing is to put people in touch with present-moment experience in a very deep way,” explains clinical psychologist Susan Albers, PsyD. “The sights, sounds and smells of the forest take us right into that moment, so our brains stop anticipating, recalling, ruminating and worrying.”

According to the Cleveland Clinic "If you don’t have access to green space at all — or if you just can’t get enough of that forest feeling — try bringing the outside in. Spruce up your space by... Burning a woodsy-scented candle or using an oil diffuser to fill your room with the smell of trees. (A 2009 study showed that simply being immersed in the scents of the forest may have a positive impact on your health.)"

And in reading that exact statement, I was inspired.

I wanted to create a candle to ground you, to help you - and me too, to find a way to pause, to slow down, to feel like you're surrounded by Japanese Cypress Trees and Eucalyptus, even if you can only find a moment to steal away in your half bath, or to smell the candle unlit - in your car - before you run into work - or back home to your to do list.

I wanted to make it small and portable, and I wanted to be clean. So I worked with my friends at Summit & Terrace, a wonderful small business that’s also based out of Seattle, to make these into a reality. Made with coconut and soy wax. ~ 20 hour burn time.

I can't wait for you to smell these in person. ✨

CANDLE DETAILS:

• Each candle comes in a reusable gold tin. 
• Candle size: 3.5oz
• Burn Time: ~20 hours
• 100% Natural Coconut and Soy Wax, which burns clean
• Alcohol-free, phthalate-free all-natural fragrance oils
• Non-treated lead-free wood wicks
• No dyes are used

Each candle purchase will include:

• Samantha's Candle Tips Postcard to help you make the most of each candle, maximize the burn time, and tips on how to clean out and reuse the tin when you're done with it

Each candle is made by a small team in the US, so there is a limited quantity of each product available at any given time.

A a sweet Coneflower in brilliant rice and soy-based Risograph inks.

Risograph is a fascinating medium that uses actual ink, unlike laser jets, and the colors are transparent, which is why I'm able to overlay inks achieving new shades and hues.

Risograph printing is extraordinarily environmentally friendly, where the screens that are used are made from rice and banana leaves and the inks are derived from rice and soy.

This particular illustration was drawn by hand, redrawn as a digital file, and printed here in Seattle.

Every single one of us has been there.

Either we were too eager and loved the plant (i.e. overwatered it) to death, received some bad tips (like “watering” a plant with ice cubes, or water frequently and shallowly), or simply had the wrong environment for a plant (hello Maranta’s - I still love you).

We have all killed a plant.

And each and every time we grow, each time we learn something new, and each time we get better.

Here’s to learning from our mistakes, here’s to the next plant, and continuing to grow alongside it.

This pin features an illustration that Samantha made for the "Growing Joy" Book written by Maria Failla!

The Monstera Deliciosa Plant is a prized addition to any plant collection. It has a luscious Dark Jungle Green coloring and features very distinct leaf fenestrations, hence its popular nickname "swiss cheese plant".

The latin name “deliciosa” came about because of the edible fruit that is produced, that is said to taste like fruit salad. And Monstera refers to the monstrous size of the plant, which can grow upwards of 30ft tall!

The Pilea peperomioides is also known as the Chinese Money Plant, Pancake, or UFO Plant. My favorite nickname though, is The Friendship Plant.

Native to China, it is believed that a Norwegian missionary took cuttings with him when he returned home in the 1940s. And the way that this plant spread in popularity was through the sharing of its pups (babies). This is also why this plant is also known as the Friendship Plant.

Inspired by that history, I have two Pilea sizes available, that way you can purchase another Pilea Pin for a friend or loved one. So that you too can continue to help share this beautiful plant.

There is an option to purchase a discounted Friendship Set, which will include one Large Pilea Pin and one Small Pilea Pin, both on one card. If you would like each on their own card back, please let me know in the comments section when you checkout.

The Sage Leaf is a sweet symbol of strength, wisdom and has a storied history among several cultures around the world.

Sage is associated with immortality in Celtic tradition. In ancient Egypt, it was used to promote fertility in women. Native Chinese sage was written about as long ago as 206 BC and was believed to give those that consume it physical strength and wisdom.

Today, modern sage brooms are used to cleanse spaces of negative influence.

Sage is used as a drying agent, it can clear mucus congestion and relieve night sweats, while also treating wounds and sore throats.

Long, hot summer days, warm air filled with the heavy scent of flowers, the low buzz of pollinators, drunk and lazily flittering from flower to flower. That was the feeling, that was the moment, that was the scent memory I wanted to capture.

I worked with my unbelievably talented new friend Kacie @kaciemcmackin of @kingsanddaughters to hand make these beautiful bars of soap here in the Pacific Northwest.

Made with a mix of olive oil, coconut oil, canola oil, jojoba oil, shea butter, castor oil, and cocoa butter. These cold processed soaps are extremely moisturizing and lathers beautifully. They have swirls of pink and green french clay and are finished off with the sweetest mix of dried flowers, making each one so unique.

SOAP DETAILS:

• Soap size: 5.5oz
  
• Cold Processed
• The soaps are made primarily from olive oil (which dries hard, cleans well, and lasts a long time), coconut oil, canola oil, jojoba oil, shea butter, castor oil, and cocoa butter.
• Paraban and phthalate-free fragrance oils
• French Clays in Pink & Green
• Topped with dried wildflowers
• No dyes are used
