We’re back at the Central Texas State Fair today and we’ll be here until MIDNIGHT! 🌿

And good news — it’s nice and COOL where we are! 🙌

There are so many amazing vendors here this year, so come wander around, shop small, grab some fair food, and make a night of it!

We brought a TON of Being Me Apothecary goodies with us, including lots of our newest products, and I’d love for you to stop by, smell all the things, browse around, and say hi. 🌿

We’re at the Central Texas State Fair!! 🌿

We are all set up and ready to see you! We brought SO many of your Being Me Apothecary favorites, plus a whole bunch of NEW products that I’ve been working on and cannot wait for you to see in person.

And apparently I’ve reached a new level of vendor bougie… because yes, I brought the rug out of my HALLWAY and put it behind our table. 😂

Listen. We’re going to be standing here for hours and our feet deserve nice things too. I have zero regrets. 😂

Come find us, say hi, smell all the things, check out what’s new, and please admire my very luxurious hallway-rug vendor accommodations. 🌿

We’re here at the Central Texas State Fair and would LOVE to see you!

Today was balms & salves day at Being Me Apothecary!🌿

This is actually just part of what was made today, but I couldn’t resist sharing a little peek at everything finished, filled, labeled, and ready to go.

Pictured here:

🌿 Calendula-Infused Cuticle & Nail Rescue Balm

And while you’re looking… pay close attention to those labels. 👀 You might just be getting your first little sneak peek at the Being Me Apothecary makeover we’ve been working on! 🌿✨

I am SO excited for you to see everything come together. It still feels like Being Me… just a fresh new look.

I’ll be adding all of these to the website tomorrow morning!

For tonight, I’m calling balms & salves day a success. 😂

Today’s little workspace.

I’m spending the evening making a fresh batch of our Wool Diffusers and I am LOVING today’s colors…soft pinks, dusty mauves, blush and cream. 😍

We’re getting everything stocked and ready for the Central Texas State Fair this week, but tonight doesn’t even feel much like work…it’s how I relax. I’ve got my delicious loaded tea from Troy Nutrition, the perfect candle from Wildflower & Flame burning beside me, and a whole tray of pretty wool beads waiting to become diffusers.

I just finished my extra big, extra delicious chocolate chip cookie that I bought last night from Nocturnal Nibbles…or you would have seen that pictured also, 😁.

Just making things, sipping my tea, smelling all the good smells and relaxing. Sometimes these are my favorite Being Me Apothecary evenings. 🥰

Now…back to making about a million wool diffusers. 😂

Friends! We’ll be at Flow Into Wellness this evening at Summer Fun Water Park, hosted by Stardust Whispers!

Just a quick heads-up before tonight: Summer Fun does not allow glass inside the water park area, which means I won’t be able to bring some of our Being Me Apothecary products into the event with me.

BUT...if there’s something you’ve been wanting, I can absolutely bring it for you! This includes things like:

• Face oils
• Face creams
• Tallow face oil
• Aromatherapy rollers
• Pain balms & rollers
• And other products packaged in glass

Just send me a message before the event, and I’ll have your order ready and bring it with me. I’ll just need to keep those items outside of the Summer Fun area for you.

You’re welcome to pre-pay or pay when you pick up tonight.

I’m so excited for this evening: come float, relax, shop, listen to some music, and spend the evening with us at Flow Into Wellness!

Friends, we got a little sneak peek today, and oh my goodness… this place is AMAZING!!

We were lucky enough to get a tour of the Santa Fe Community Market, and y’all, I am so excited about what they’re creating here!

The market officially kicks off September 19th and will be held every third Saturday of the month. Being Me Apothecary will be joining the vendor lineup starting in December, and after seeing the venue in person today, I seriously cannot wait!

The plans and ideas the wonderful team has for this space are incredible. There’s indoor and outdoor vendor space, a stage for live music, and so much more planned to make this a really fun place for the community to come together, shop, listen to music, and spend the morning.

Chris and I walked out of there genuinely excited to be a part of what they’re building. I have a feeling this is going to become a pretty special little market. ❤️

So even though you won’t see Being Me there until December, go check them out beginning September 19th! And then come see us when we join the fun in December!

500!!! 🥹🎉

Oh my goodness, y’all…500 people are now following Being Me Apothecary on Facebook!

I know 500 might just look like a number, but to Chris and me, it represents 500 people who decided to follow along and support this little business we’ve poured so much of ourselves into.

Being Me started with me creating things I loved, and somewhere along the way it became this life that Chris and I get to build together. There are a whole lot of long days, late nights, markets, loading and unloading, new ideas, successes, mistakes, laughter, and plenty of “Chris, I have an idea…” 😂 behind those 500 followers.

And every like, comment, share, recommendation, order, market visit, and kind word has helped us get here.

There are still moments when I look at what Being Me has become and think, how is this actually our life?! I get to make a living doing something I genuinely love, with my best friend right there beside me. That will never stop being amazing to me.

So from both of us, thank you for being here and for supporting Being Me Apothecary.

500!!! We did it! 🥳

Now…onward to 1,000! 😉

Calendula. No hesitation.

If you’ve followed Being Me Apothecary for a while, that probably doesn’t surprise you. Calendula is one of those botanicals I reach for again and again because it’s incredibly gentle while still bringing so much to the table.

For the skin, calendula is pretty amazing. It contains naturally occurring flavonoids, carotenoids and triterpenoids that give it antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It can help soothe dry, irritated or sensitive-feeling skin, calm redness, support the skin’s natural repair process and help protect against oxidative stress. It’s also beautifully gentle, which is one of the reasons I love infusing it into oils and using it in skincare.

But calendula isn’t only for your skin. You can drink it, too!

Calendula has a long history of being enjoyed as an herbal tea. It’s traditionally used for digestive comfort and soothing occasional stomach upset, and those beautiful golden petals naturally contain antioxidant plant compounds, including flavonoids and carotenoids. Calendula is also valued for its naturally occurring anti-inflammatory properties.

And one of my favorite ways to enjoy it?

Calendula + green tea + mint over ice. It’s light, refreshing, slightly herbal, and SO good cold.

Calendula Green Tea + Mint Iced Tea

You’ll need:

• 4 cups water
• 1 tablespoon loose-leaf green tea
• 1 tablespoon dried, food-grade Calendula officinalis petals
• 1 teaspoon dried peppermint or spearmint
• Honey or your favorite sweetener, optional
• Ice
• Lemon, optional

Heat your water to about 175°F. Add the green tea, calendula, and mint to a loose-leaf tea infuser, place it in your pitcher or heat-safe container, and pour the hot water over it.

Let it steep for about 3 minutes, then pull out the infuser.

That's it. Seriously. 😂

Sweeten it while it’s warm if you’d like, let it cool, and pour it over plenty of ice. Add a little lemon if that sounds good to you. Enjoy!
