  • This weekend I hosted my FIRST in-person workshop in Orlando since moving here. ⠀ .⠀ Leading up to the class - I was in my kitchen picking out which herbs to teach about and grinding them into these fragrant powders...⠀ .⠀ And I could feel this growing enthusiasm inside - because I get to share something that I LOVE with people who are showing up to learn... there is such a powerful energy in that exchange 🥰 .⠀ By the time I got to class with these jars of herbs... I was BURSTING to show it is possible to have amazing skin care - with only the good stuff - and none of the garbage. . Just whole food ingredients. No fillers, irritants or empty promises.⠀ .⠀ Thank you to the 16 people who came to learn! I think you're awesome! ⠀ .⠀ Here's to more and more workshops, in person, online... for anyone who wants to learn too! 💚 . . . . . . . . . #orlando #naturalbeauty #naturalskincare #thehappynow #herbs #herbal #herbalist #nutrition #skincare #skin #skincareroutine #glowingskin #healthyskin #skinfood #healthy #healthylifestyle #healthychoices #plantbased #plantpower #essentialoils #oils #herbalism #facial #tips #skincareaddict #iloveskincare #wild #skinhealth #flowermedicine #apothecary
  • Instead of plain water - I started drinking a big glass of rosewater in the mornings - and it is just THE best thing!⠀ .⠀ Not only are you getting hydrated - but you’re also getting rosy antioxidants and vitamins (vitamin C) a boost in digestion and mood lift! . Prepare it like a tea, steep for 3 minutes. You can even make a big serving and fill up your water bottle. It's DELICIOUS 🌹 .⠀ Wishing you a rosy weekend ahead! ⠀ Militza x⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ #tea #herbal #recipe #goodmorning #morningmotivation #nootropics #butterflypea #butterflypeaflower #drinks #energydrink #drinkoftheday #healthydrinks #drinkclean #natural #naturalbeauty #healthy #healthylifestyle #healthychoices #healthybreakfast #healthymind #feelgood #herbs #medicinalherbs #healingherbs #kitchenherbs #homemade #homemadefood #homemadewithlove #blue #lemon
  • My dad built these shelves for me out of his garage/art studio.⠀ .⠀ He's a retired physicist... and at 65 he decided to take a stained glass workshop - just looking for something new to do...⠀ .⠀ It was like taking this class LIT A FIRE inside him. Actually, I think it rekindled something that had always been there... ⠀ .⠀ My dad started making stained glass art like he was making up for lost time.⠀ .⠀ He got really good at it too. ⠀ He flew to Italy to train under a master glass artist. He grew a beard :) . He started meeting other stained glass artists... and working on pieces together. ⠀ .⠀ Just last year my dad was commissioned by Universal Studios to create a piece for the Harry Potter World in Hong Kong (life is wild) .⠀ Now he's working on holding his first exhibition!! ⠀ .⠀ Truth is, I've never seen my dad so alive, so in his element. It's like he's getting to live out another version of himself...⠀ .⠀ Two things these shelves remind me:⠀ .⠀ 1️⃣ It's never too late in life to change your story. ⠀ .⠀ 2️⃣ Do the things that light you up. Even if you’re not sure why yet or what you’re supposed to do with it or where it’s going to take you! . . . . #happy #love #herb #kitchen #art #orlando #tea #masonjars #rose #calendula #lavender #glass #openshelves #natural #homeherbalist #homedecor #homemade #stylingwithplants #apothecary
  • CALENDULA POWDER . Freshly ground - this is the makings of INCREDIBLE skin care and you can make it in your kitchen - simply and affordably. . I’m passionate about sharing this with others - because while the beauty industry teaches us that we need to buy and buy more - the truth is we also have the ability to provide for ourselves 🧡 . Check out a little tutorial on my stories today!
  • I try not to spend my time comparing.... but when it comes to herbs - I sure do! ⠀ .⠀ Here are two different batches of dried CALENDULA.... what differences do you see? ⠀ .⠀ One is pale yellow ⠀ The other bright orange ⠀ .⠀ One has just the petals ⠀ The other has whole flower heads⠀ . ⠀ There's a big difference, right?! . The calendula that you purchase and use should be: vibrant in color - and - it should have the petals with the green bases of the flower heads - that’s where most of the beneficial resins and oils are!⠀ .⠀ In my upcoming herbal class, I'll be teaching on how to choose herbs, understand their benefits and turn them into herbal masks that nourish vibrant skin.⠀ .⠀ If you're in or near Orlando - I hope you can make it!! Check out @eastendmkt (Evening Exchange) and @myenlightenclass for the details.⠀ .⠀ date: Friday, Aug 16th Link to sign up is also in my profile.⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ #naturalbeauty #naturalskincare #lakenona #herbs #herbal #herbalist #nutrition #orlandofun #glowingskin #healthy #healthylifestyle #essentialoils #oils #herbalism #skincareaddict #iloveskincare #orlando #orlandolife #orlandoflorida #orlandofun #orlandoworkshop #orlandoskincare #orlandoherbalist #orlandomaker #eveningexchange #thingstodoorlando #winterparkflorida #orlandodoesntsuck #orlandodatenight #handmade
  • Here is the result of dehydrating sage. I'm SO happy!⠀ ,⠀ On Friday, I harvested sage from the garden and sat at my table plucking the leaves and laying them flat on dehydrator sheets...⠀ ⠀ I then set the dehydrator on to 95 degrees⠀ It took almost 24 hours for the leaves to fully dry! ⠀ .⠀ But they dried beautifully. The leaves are intensely fragrant and flavourful - which tells me it still holds its beneficial properties dehydrating at a low and slow setting. ⠀ ⠀ My plans for this jar of sage:⠀ ⠀ 👉Cups of sage + lemon + honey tea ⠀ 👉Sage infused vinegar hair rinse ⠀ 👉Sage + lemon-flavored salts ⠀ 👉Sage incense (simply burn a dried leaf!!)⠀ 👉Garnish soups, sprinkle on roast veggies...⠀ 👉Enjoy the antioxidant, skin toning, soothing, deodorizing, sore-throat healing benefits.⠀ .⠀ I feel like I won the lottery with this plant!! ⠀ .⠀ HOW DO YOU LOVE USING SAGE??⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #inmygarden #instagarden #naturalskincare #thehappynow #herbs #herbal #herbalist #nutrition #skincare #skin #skincareroutine #glowingskin #healthyskin #skinfood #healthy #healthylifestyle #healthychoices #plantbased #plantpower #essentialoils #oils #herbalism #natureisbeautiful #tips #skincareaddict #iloveskincare #gardenporn #homesteading #skingoals #healthyskincare
  • Just harvested a BUNCH of sage from my garden, I'm drying most of it to then make sage infused oils, sage vinegar and sage salt for flavoring. ⠀ .⠀ I just shared on my stories - I'm also making sugared sage leaves - but with salt - I use them for bath salts! ⠀ .⠀ I don’t know what it is about dehydrators and fresh herbs but it makes me so happy! 😂 Hope you have a great weekend ahead!! ⠀ ⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ #natural #naturalbeauty #naturalskincare #thehappynow #herbs #herbal #herbalist #nutrition #skincare #skin #skincareroutine #glowingskin #healthyskin #skinfood #healthy #healthylifestyle #healthychoices #plantbased #plantpower #essentialoils #oils #herbalism #facial #tips #skincareaddict #iloveskincare #dryskin #skinhealth #skingoals #healthyskincare
  • I gave myself a challenge to formulate a morning tea blend. ⠀ .⠀ Maybe something that gives you energy... like nettle...?⠀ .⠀ Then I realised... Actually - I want to start the day with a smile 😊 I want BLUE SKIES and good vibes! ⠀ .⠀ SUNRISE TEA BLEND⠀ 2 parts dried ginger ⠀ 1 part butterfly pea flowers⠀ 1 part dried lemon peel ⠀ .⠀ Drinking GINGER and LEMON is a delicious way to wake up the body. . BUTTERFLY PEA FLOWERS are loaded with antioxidants, like green tea. Its incredible for eyes, hair and skin. It's also a NOOTROPIC - a brain tonic - which protects brain cells, enhances memory, reduces anxiety.... ⠀ .⠀ But what I love is the brilliant blue color that brings a playfulness to the mornings 💙⠀ .⠀ This tea blend is delicious hot or iced, with a squeeze of lemon and drop of honey!⠀ . WHATS YOUR FAVORITE MORNING DRINK?? *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ #tea #herbal #recipe #goodmorning #morningmotivation #nootropics #butterflypea #butterflypeaflower #drinks #energydrink #drinkoftheday #healthydrinks #drinkclean #natural #naturalbeauty #healthy #healthylifestyle #healthychoices #healthybreakfast #healthymind #feelgood #herbs #medicinalherbs #healingherbs #kitchenherbs #homemade #homemadefood #homemadewithlove #blue #lemon

About Me

Hi, I'm Militza

I was a busy mom living in a busy city, frustrated by the things I learned about the products I brought into my home. I began to make my own skincare from necessity and it turned into a happy, healthy & green lifestyle. And now I want the same for you too.
