Texas, Herbs, Fire Ants, and Homemade Lotion

Hello! Welcome to marie botanicals! I’m trying not to scratch my ant bites as I’m writing this… and maybe you’re doing the same thing if you’ve also spent the day out in the garden. This is my first post, and quite short, but before doing more construction on this blog I wanted to take a minute to tell you what I’m even doing here . I hope to:

reach out to/learn from the medicinal herb-interested community in the Waco, Texas area.

become a local resource in garden planning and starting (specifically medicinal or culinary herbs, but I can work with vegetables as well).

make natural skincare products for those close by and far away. I can make lotions, salves (to soothe those awful fire ant bites!), balms, ointments, teas, bug sprays, deodorants, mouth washes, etc. with all natural materials and ingredients straight from the garden. I can work locally or mail products as well. I make all products on an individual basis, using the best ingredients for your skin.

teach others to do the same! Skin is our biggest organ and it’s so important we take care of it, especially in extreme climates like the one we have here in Texas. I can teach at workshops, birthday parties, etc. to empower others to take care of their skin without applying harsh, expensive chemicals. Learn to nourish your skin using your own wonderful resources.

I will have more information up soon about individual products and prices and lots more. Thanks!
