Winter teaches us that even the coldest days can lead to beautiful transformations
Ho, ho, ho! Gather 'round, my jolly elves and festive friends! As we snuggle into our favorite fuzzy blankets and gaze out at the glistening snow, I've been up to some elfish mischief in my enchanted workshop. It's the most wonderful time of the year, and boy, do I have a whimsical reveal for you for Winter 2024-2025!
This season, I've bottled up the sparkle of winter's glee, the warmth of fireside memories, and the crisp zing of frosty mornings. Each concoction is a hug in a bottle, ready to melt your heart and smooth your skin with the magic of the holidays. And now, drumroll, please... Let's unveil the holiday cheerleaders of this winter's lineup:
1. **Smiling Is My Favorite**: Bursting with the joy of bergamot, orange, lemon, and a dash of peppermint, this blend is like a snowball of happiness to the face, guaranteed to keep your spirits merry and bright. "I just like to smile; smiling's my favorite." Wrap yourself in this scent and let it be a reminder to smile, even when it's cold outside."
2. **Cotton Headed Ninny Muggins**: This comforting brew of vetiver, cardamom, cinnamon bark, and clove bud is your cozy blanket on a brisk winter day. "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear." Let this blend be your song!
3. **Swirly Twirly Gumdrops**: A sweet and refreshing blend of lime, vanilla, lemongrass, and geranium that will transport you to a winter wonderland of your own making. "We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup." While I can't promise this blend tastes as sweet, it sure will make you feel enveloped in holiday joy.
And here's the cherry on top of your holiday pie: each body butter is a creamy blend of shea butter, mango butter, coconut oil, and hemp oil infused with skin-loving herbs to keep you glowing like the star on top of the Christmas tree.
Don't just stick to the North Pole's top hits; explore the winter wonderland of scents in my shop. Whether you're on the hunt for the perfect gift or treating yourself, there's a magical blend waiting to make your winter unforgettable.
Stay snuggled, stay enchanted, and remember, “I love you, I love you I LOVE YOU!”

🚨NERD ALERT🚨
Peppermint, a versatile herb with a refreshing aroma and myriad benefits, holds a cherished place in herbalism. Known scientifically as Mentha piperita, this herb is renowned for its ability to aid digestion. Consuming peppermint tea or using peppermint oil may alleviate symptoms of indigestion, nausea, and bloating, making it a natural remedy for gastrointestinal discomfort.
Beyond its digestive properties, peppermint also acts as a natural stimulant. The invigorating scent is often used to enhance focus and concentration, providing a boost of mental clarity during demanding tasks. Additionally, peppermint oil has been shown to relieve headaches and tension. Simply inhaling its scent or applying diluted oil to the temples can provide significant relief from discomfort.
Peppermint possesses antimicrobial properties, making it an effective ally in promoting oral health. It helps combat bacteria that cause bad breath and plaque buildup, while its refreshing taste makes it a popular ingredient in dental care products.
Furthermore, peppermint’s cooling sensation can soothe sore muscles and joint pain when applied topically. With its natural anti-inflammatory properties, it serves as an excellent addition to massage oils and topical treatments.
Incorporating peppermint into your herbal regimen opens the door to a multitude of health benefits. Whether you prefer it in tea, oil, or capsules, this remarkable herb can enhance your well-being in a delicious and invigorating way. Embrace the power of peppermint and experience its refreshing benefits today.

More about the owner, Amy
This business venture started when I found answers to a 20 year medical mystery for myself. I was introduced to herbal tinctures in late 2020 after finally receiving answers to a long sought after diagnosis. I ended up having chronic Lyme disease along with 3 other tick borne illnesses (10 strains of the 4 infections!). Long story short, no insurance will pay for the treatment suggested. So I relied on a long course of oral antibiotics and Mother Nature to lead the way. I went from barely being able to function to feeling human. Not needing to sleep all the time, not having headaches everyday, not feeling like I had the flu every morning that I woke up, not having panic attacks for no reason, not having pain that left me so miserable I didn’t even want to be around myself. When I realized how much benefit these herbal miracles had I knew I needed to share them with the world.
Well this idea grew and grew and well here I am! I went from farmers markets to online sales and decided when the opportunity arose to set up a physical shop in Sidney NY where I live with my husband and two of my children (the third is a young adult who lives on her own not not too far away). If you’re intimidated or skeptical about alternative medicine…so was I four years ago when I started learning! I thought essential oils were BS, I thought herbalist were kooks I’m now a wealth of information and love spreading the wealth! It’s not expensive either, the most expensive product in my shop is $60 (and that’s for the largest bottle of my tincture) The average cost is about $20 for an item. I have helped more people than I can say off the top of my head but this business has so much more potential to help others!
If you want to check things out privately first, take a gander. Remember there’s no such thing as a stupid question, unless you don’t ask it! If you have questions I have answers (or can find them) and love researching solutions for people. I can’t diagnose or give medical advise but I can help lead you in the right direction. I’ve helped people with anxiety, GERD, hair loss, chronic pain, eczema, colds/flu, sinus issues…again the list goes on. So text, email, send a message via carrier pigeon!
In a nutshell, I am here and l’m always available by private message but my “real world” job as a nurse limits my business hours. So, the shop is open Friday 1-4, Saturday 12-6 and Sunday 12-4. For the holidays, my hours will vary a little but if you check in my community group Amara’s Alchemists, I keep every one updated there.
Hope to see more folks pop in!
