First Nightshade Apothecary post. Yes.
I've had other blogs, I have lost track of them, and will probably continue to not keep track. I feel this one was a long time in the making. I stopped writing for a long time. I used to only write when stuff was bad, or I was unhappy for some reason. I don't want it to be like that anymore. I'm thinking that having a daily or even just few times a week type outlet will be good for me. I'll keep track of thoughts, crafts, and projects in one spot. Fuck that different blog for every hobby shit.
I'm trying to green everything up as much as possible. The working single mom thing has made things progress a little slower than I'd like. That's sort of an excuse, but toddlers are expensive. I am getting there though. I make my own deodorant now, been making stuff at home more and bringing it to work so I don't get Panera 4 days a week. I made no poo jasmine vanilla shampoo today. Pretty basic castile soap, water, and essential oil recipe.
I've been trying to cut down a LOT on anything that is known to disrupt hormonal balance... so no soy, dairy with hormones added (I get organic), non organic meat, really anything that creates excess estrogens in the body, and endocrine disruptors. So not as much plastic, and definitely no microwaved plastic. Gotta figure out the bottled water situation still. Most things in the house are organic, made by me, and such.
So let's see how well I do this.
