Post-Sun Healing
It happens to all of us—we enjoy a beautiful, long day at the beach or in the garden so much more than our skin does. But not to worry! Here are my favorite post-sun tips, which should quickly restore and revive depleted skin. Though sunblock protects skin, it can also strip our natural protective barrier […]
Slow Beauty
We can all get swept up in a culture that celebrates speed. But sometimes it feels so good to find ways to simply let go of the clock. While I’ve so often seen immediate results when clients first switch over to using the plant-based natural formulas in my skincare collection, for me beauty is about […]
Wonderful Wanderlust
Summer is a time of great expansion—flowers burst into bloom and the days are sweetly long. But we can also tap into the season’s urge toward bold widening energy from within, intentionally rejuvenating our hearts and minds. Studies have shown that we become less open to newness as we age. On the physical level, a […]
Tammy’s Protocol for Pre-Flight, In-Flight + Post-flight Skin Savers
Summertime is adventure time. I love to hit the road and to see new places! Yet, when we travel, along the way we often lose precious hours of sleep, whether waking up early to catch a flight or in jet-lag taking its toll. Skin regenerates during sleep, repairing and healing itself after the demands of […]
Ode to Chamomile
If your summer is revved up and over-busy, Chamomile might be just the thing you crave. Dissolving stress for centuries, Chamomile was used by holistic practitioners in ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt and India. Remarkably, the herbal remedy works as an anti-inflammatory and as a relaxant, healing wounds and boosting immunity, whether absorbed through the skin […]
Instant Refreshment
Icy cold popsicles are an old-fashioned summertime delight. We love to make them with all our favorite juices—Watermelon or Melon, Peach, or Blueberry, or almost anything blended with Lemon or Lime. Healthy deliciousness on a stick! When creating your own blend, remember that juice freezes hard, so you’ll want to include pureed fruit to soften […]

Garden Gratitude
If there is one place where I can while away my summer hours, it’s in the garden. Time just seems to stand still for me there. My mind clears, and my troubles drift away. It’s a living sanctuary. I’ve planted a wide array of roses—my favor summertime flower—and they bloom one after the next. Their […]
Here Comes the Sun
We couldn’t live without our sun’s glorious radiance, but it’s that time of year when skin most needs protection from its rays. What’s the best strategy? When in the garden or at the beach, I use physical sunblock—a big hat, sunglasses, long-sleeved T-shirt and a sarong. While that might sound a little dreary to some, […]
Wishing you a Happy Mother’s Day
This Mother’s Day, I find myself thinking a lot about rejuvenation—but maybe not in the way that you’d expect. While much of what I do is focused on creating formulas that enhance and restore skin’s youthfulness, all filled with the Pure Living Energy of plants that so lovingly sustain us, what I mean is something […]
Behind the Masques
With the thrilling launch of our two new treatment masques—Restorative Radiance Masque and Purifying Luculent Masque—I wanted to share more with you about several of the amazing healing ingredients that make these two formulations so special. When I’m creating a new formula, the part that takes me the longest is finding just the right harmony […]
Earth Day!
Each year, Earth Day gives us a wonderful opportunity to honor Mother Earth, this spectacularly beautiful planet we all share. It’s the home which brings us together, no matter where we are or who we are. It’s our breath, and our life. Which aspect of nature resonates most for you? Where do you feel the […]
