Sprays for Spring! NEW Products!
...and it's NOT 'Cashmere Bouquet'! š
When I was in the 4th grade, I borrowed a book at the library about soap.
It taught me how to make liquid soap and also how to do soap carvings.
I remember my Grandma walking all through the house saying,
š¤£š¹š
I had taken allĀ the soap bars out of the bathrooms and kitchen to start my projects!
ItĀ won't surprise you to know my first carvings were a heart ā¤ļø and a cat šø.
Iāve always loved the smell of soap.
Back then we didnāt know about "clean" products, that is: products without over-processed or harmful chemicals.Ā The only ācleanā soap was Ivory. My favorite was my Grandmaās special soap that was only in her bathroom: Cashmere Bouquet, a classic, originating from 1872! It smelled like baby powder and flowers.
Although the smell would bring back many memories, I probably wouldnāt be able to use it today.
Iām very particular about the products I use.
Many years ago I was diagnosed with an auto-immune disorder and gene mutation that makes it difficult for the body to detox.
To help myself, I use the purest products whenever possible and try to eat clean.
But Iāve always gravitated towards scents and a new world opened up for me when I studied aromatherapy.
I was amazed at the therapeutic benefits of 100% real oils extracted from plants and flowers. In fact, I remember a prison reform assignment in my Social Work class. One of my suggestions was installing timed aromatherapy diffusers throughout the facilities to uplift, and flower essences for anger, self-love, and forgiveness.
Over the years, I'veĀ made for myself, and as gifts for others, bath salts, orange milk baths, face oils, and crystal-infused sugar and salt scrubs all withĀ organic and biodynamic essential oils and flower essences.
What's pertinent to this blog post, though, isĀ something else!
And it's the easiest to use!
Flower Essence + Essential OilĀ Sprays
I cannot live without my sprays.
Now, I may be biased š but I always have 2-3 sprays in my bathroom at all times. I like storing them in the bathroom because anytime Iām in there, I see them and am reminded to use them.Ā
(Itās a personal decision to use any scented products on yourself when you have a cat. For me, I donāt use anything synthetic, I donāt wear perfume, and I donāt even diffuse essential oils in our home. The main thing you want to remember if you do any of these things is to always be sure your cat has choice: that they can leave the room if youāre diffusing oils. I wrote a whole other post about Aromatherapy and Cats, too.)
My Behind The Scenes
Currently, the sprays I made for myself, that I have on my shelf,Ā are based onĀ Self-Love, Strength, and Purpose.
I shake the bottle and spritz myself with Strength and then Purpose right before I start work. Throughout the day, when I need a boost, I spray more Strength. After my evening shower and before bed, I spray on Self-Love.
I find the sprays refreshing and instantly therapeutic!
And now...
New forĀ Spring,Ā sprays for you!

Iām so excited that you are adding some sprays! I personally love the rollerballs but Asa has benefited so much from flower essence sprays that I want to try them too! The release of your new sprays is all perfect timing too because this season of life is extra challenging. Thank you so much for blessing us all with your talents and gifts!

Hi Lori! Thank you so much for your kindness and love! The Revive spray is ideal for challenging times especially if youāre feeling drained by it all. If you find you need a bit more support then Iād suggest Strength, which I am always happy to whip up for you since we donāt currently have it available as a spray. Thanks again and give sweet Asa boy a kiss for me!
I love this! And Me tooāMemories of soaps and making new memories now. You are just my cup of tea at just the right moment. ā¤ļø I have recently watched videos of soapmakers creating their own. Inspiration.
Iām very excited for your Spring Sprays! Question: What would you recommend for a āDigital Detox/Decreaseā and what follows after it, what I am calling the āReconnect to Organic/Real Life.ā Thank you!
āāā
Love and Above Cat Club replied:
Hi Sue! Are you making your own soap? Oooh! So excited for you! I find watching videos of people creating quite calming and yes, inspiring! What a great question regarding digital detox and then the reconnect. I would recommend Calm for both the detox and reconnect. Calm helps with anxiety and thatās generally when digital brings up for me. You might also consider Protection which has an essence in it to protect us from EMFs and such! Hope that helps!
